Watching or Transferring 65mm Film (Production Used)

[ZedR]

I just bought three reels of 65mm Visual FX footage that EEG/BOSS shot for Ghostbusters. Contained on the reels are several takes of the "clouds", filmed in a water tank, that form around Sigourney's apartment building.

I have no experience with film of this size, and was wondering if anyone here knew how I could go about watching the footage, or transferring it to DVD. Unfortunately, I know of no shops near my part of Texas that could do something like this.

Thanks,

Zed

That is amazing!!!!

Your best bet would be to ask over at Cinematography.com - Community, Education, News and Resources for Cinematographers

Or you could try Digital Video News, Reviews and Forums at DVInfo.net (its actually a digital forum, but there is a wealth of knowledge, and someone will help you out.)

Will you PLEASE keep this updated mate???!!!

Hey appreciate it! There's a lot more footage where this came from, so I'm hoping I can figure out how to make this happen.

Zed, do you know if this is actually a reversal print? ie it can be put into a projector and projected?

Or is it a negative print?

Two are ready to be projected, one is a negative print.

Check the cinematography thread mate. There is a reply with link to two companies that can do it.
