description: remake Translucent (my student film) from the original tapes with new soundtrack, post-production, etc. make it spiff. and have it done by may 2011.
status: planning
materials needed: this should work
bonus features: these guys to transfer my 8mm films to digital?
or maybe these guys
soundtrack: i have a full cd from peaches, ghosts i-iv is under a creative commons license and was intended for soundtrack music for something. also, nin’s new album the slip is also under a cc license, so i might use some of that, and there’s multitracks of that floating around if i needed to tweak the music to make it longer/slower/no vocals, etc. and there’s a couple things i wrote for the movie and/or around that time that i can use.

update 6/22/08
dug out my old 8mm movies. decided on the second film to digital transfer service because they have a “premium” encoding option that intelligently inserts frames into the video (the 8mm film shows at 18fps but video is 30fps, so they need to insert stuff and the method by which the service does it will determine the quality). the first option is great, but they’re really good for 16mm, and don’t have the super-high-tech option available for 8mm and otherwise the smart transfer cost is about the same.
Estimated cost for bonus feature content: $56.00 (+shipping)
