[Konvas] Affordable Film Scanning - E Tenebris Entertainment

[Brandon Esten]

Hi Ian, we don't right now though this is a good idea in principle. We just started up so maybe in the future we could forge some alliances. The scanning biz, like everything else in the film industry, is pretty cutthroat. The primary lab I worked with for my feature in Seattle is long gone, unfortunately. Fotokem I've sent negative to before, not too far away relatively speaking. If there were labs without scanning on hand I'd reckon those would be most receptive to what I'm trying to do. 

What I'm trying to do is contribute to the indy FILM world with a little relief while making my own films. Film and storage can be expensive. Anything 'movie-production-related' is a zillion dollars over what you could make on your own with a little craft and elbow grease. In this case the reduced cost of scans could put a production back in the black for 35/16. So I'll share and make a humble ROI in the process. The Cintel is a formidable machine; paired with Davinci it's a powerhouse combo.

Film is definitely, not dead and there are still factories churning it out in addition to Kodak although my favourite ( Fuji) have ceased production although there are plenty of rolls still in stock.
