Transferring 16mm..question

[grant]

I just made a student film with a group of people on 16mm (b/w reversal). The lab we worked with (CineLab) will only transfer for a minimum of 500ft. We are only going to have about 150ft. We wanted to get it transfered by a lab instead of just video it off a projection because its being used in ours and our actors portfolios/reels.

Are there any other places online that don't have a minimum? The other option is to get together with other groups in other classes and do it all together. But thats last resort as its alot to deal with to put together.

Every place that I can think of has a minimum.

Try http://www.yalefilmandvideo.com/ and compare prices, maybe? They have a 30-minute minumum. (Not including prep & tape costs)

If all your other classes are ending up with similar lengths of film, may as well do it together and save some bucks.

www.pac-lab.com
www.magnosoundandvideo.com
www.duart.com

One of these will do it. Try all three and get prices.

I use a service that is at least 20% cheaper than most with www.indepost.com ask for Kevin and tell him ROSS sent ya for a student discount.
