720 to HDCAM

Hi guys, I've been using creative cow for a while but this is my first time posting, hope I'm in the right forum, apologies if I'm not.

I'm looking to enter my graduation short film in this coming Sundance festival. The film was a 720 composite, (i did film it in 1080 but used a 720 comp in AE to allow more motion in post production, zooming scaling etc)and i wondered if anyone could clue me in to how I can get this on HDCAM, and where I could get that done, I'm a UK resident and pretty new to all this formatting for film festivals.

All guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Hey

Thanks for the info

I'm applying through withoutabox.com and it claims i fail entry if i dont use 16/35mm or HDCAM, but i think I'll contact the festival directly, just to be sure.

Hey thanks for the respond

I cut the film in both Premiere and AE, and have been rendering out from AE as I find it has better rendering options, my graphics card is HD, so any suggestion on rendering it out, as I was just thinking of going uncompressed avi?

Hey Shane,

Easy Tiger - we are talking about a first project here, so give him at least one or two postings more before we let a "Bob Zelin" loose on him ;-)

Stanley's is as good as it gets on price in London - depending what you're looking for in quality. I can do the same job at our facility at 4 times what they charge.

Gareth, The DVD is just for them to accept the film to be good enough for screening, not for the final mastering. However, some festivals operates a "corner" where they'll show anything. Depending on how good your film is, you might be doing yourself a disservice to enter such "corner". But you're the better judge of your own future than I am :-) However, if it is just for selection, do check whether they won't accept a DVD or similar first before going through the trouble.



All the Best

Hey Guys

Sorry Shane got my wires crossed, I have a bog standard capture card as I was working with SD when I bought it.

So I guess if I have to put it on HDCAM then stanleys is the place to go.

A little off topic but do you think it would be easier for me to get onto 16/35mm?

Cheers for your time and info guys =)
