I alreay shot my movie on regular 16 I was just wondering how much it would cost to develop a 1/2 hours worth and transfer it to video or dv tape through the telecine process for digital editng? Thanks a Lot.

it costs around 10 to 20 cents per foot depending on the kind of film you shot on, and that's just the developing. Black and white is cheaper than color and negative is cheaper than reversal, i think. Cinelab in boston is a great lab. Good prices and fast service. I'm not sure if they do telecine work though. It's a smart move to have your film telecined first in order to edit it to perfection before cutting up your precious negative!

I assume its color film, if so, a 1/2 hour of raw processed, and transfered to DV tape is gonna cost you about $600 U.S.

I transfered 1300 feet negative 16mm B/W film at DuArt in manhattan (developing and transfer) I believe it cost me around 500 dollar.
