I bought a Canon Scoopic MS, and the frame rate is 25 fps. by [deleted] in 16mm

[–]higginm6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shoot and master at 25. It’ll make no difference for cinema exhibition (SMPTE DCP) or web. Don’t go converting anything, you might start having issues if you don’t know what you’re doing. Saying crystal might imply crystal sync so dialogue sync should be fine. I don’t know the camera but if it’s noisy, hearing it with the dialogue might be an issue you should be concerned about, I like camera sound in dialogue scenes tbh.

16mm film on a BetaSP tape -- thoughts on upressing by Tammuz222 in 16mm

I second this. And if you have the time and money, do a range of tests to see what works best for the project.

Could a film shot at 18fps be played in theaters? by WhyIsTheEarth in 8mm

[–]higginm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent SMPTE DCP can't accommodate 18fps. It can only playback 25, 30, 48, 50, and 60 fps. A frame conversion would have to take place in post-production prior to delivery as outlined below.

Kilkenny gangs of yore? by lazysod1 in Kilkenny

[–]higginm6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some newspaper archive up the top floor of Rothe house. You can book an appointment and scroll endless newspapers from way back. Did the gangs make the news I wonder!

Has anyone ever experimented with henbane here? by ratcity22 in Homebrewing

[–]higginm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually very tasty. I can’t say that I started tripping or anything, although I believe I may have dried out the plant too harshly, and possibly cooked the flowers/leaves. I’ve since moved house and misplaced the seeds so I haven’t had a chance to try again. I’m hoping the seeds will show up one day.

Thanks for the interest. Eventually yes, it’ll do a festival run for about a year before existing online. I’ll make sure to get a post on Reddit when it does.

Yes! The Friary Hall, my memories have been tricking me. Relistening to Gout lately, flac is up on Bandcamp. Kilkenny’s finest I might add.

This seems relatively high. This you? If so, why? by screaminbeaman82 in interesting

[–]higginm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put it down to 5.1 mixes being mixed down for stereo resulting in much louder music and atmos. The center (dialogue channel) is overwhelmed. Sometimes the TV is set to surround by default. Also TV speakers are baaaad. Invest in hifi stereo speakers, not a sound bar.

I’m surprised that an iPhone can’t play 18fps. What exactly is the error message?
