;D
The shooting format for ," dead man' shoes "is 35mm tape, then transferred to digital at," the mill".
The editing was done using ," final cut pro " provided by , " intermedia. Hope this info helps...
maybe shane could describe the format a bit better...hopefully he will tell you more about this....
anyhow i beleive anologue/tape is a more natural way of recording, and digital is best for post production/ and editing. good luck .....zerowe

Thanks zero. I was curious merely because I am an independant filmmaker myself with a string of semi successful shorts behind me with ambitions to shoot a feature next year on a small budget. Our ambitions are to target the DVD market after submission to festivals. Dead Man's Shoes had the feel of film alright. I just wasnt sure. We have experimented with the limitations of DV with the release of the Panasonic DVX and have been quite impressed with blow ups to film. I would be interested to hear Shane's experiences of shooting digtally, given the success of many Independant films shot with the format. Hi Def etc.

bryan, are you after any actor's for your film's?, as i'm trying to get back to acting after being involved in sound recording. I have trained in speech, drama, and movement at the little theatre in Burton-upon-trent. I also co-produced a pirate t.v station in the past.

I will be zero come the turn of the year. SO please feel free to email us around January 06. Not long off in the film world! contact my producer Marc Twynholm at anytime near then as we will probably be casting within a month from then on. Drop into the website for more details if and when you can. As for the shorts we currently have on the slate , there are 3 left that will take us up to the end of the year. We have around 10 to choose from and are developing 2 ideas more fully at the moment, there character based works so keep in touch. web www.dabhandfilms.comThanks Bryan |

The film was actually shot on Super 16mm. Which is naturally 16x9 format. We used only one fast 400asa kodak stock for both day and night to keep costs down. Then as stated above, we tranfered to Hi-Def to do a digital grade, finally transfering to 35mm at the very end.

Also. Although we shot on film, I know that DV to film transfers can be pretty amazing nowadays. I recently saw 'Yasmin' which was shot on mini DV and then transferred to film which looked stunning in parts. Also the 'Football Factory' which was shot on High-Def then onto 35mm, That again looked great in the cinema. If resources are tight, DV is a great option. Audiences have become much more prepared to watch varying formats and stock types over the last 5 years. Films like Blair Witch, Open Water etc, have helped open the door. Don't be surprised if someone doesn't make a Feature on a mobile phone this year.

please excuse me i was just going off the end credits's, i did'nt realize that it was originally super 16mm to begin with, ....i was wondering if we are now at the stage of developement, where virtually any format ( i.e: vhs c, hi 8,mobile phone camera's etc ) ,( aswell as industry formats ) can eventually be transferred to 35mm?
