Picture of Sam Swanson - Failure 101 Films
Posted
Recently, I aquired an Aurora 215 Russian super 8mm camera. The thing seems to be in perfect working order, and I was able to get some film from the Kodak website. I've used up all my film testing this camera out, so know I need to figure out where I can either get this stuff developed or at least transfered to DVD or VHS. Any suggestions? Maybe there's someone/some place I can send this to? Any info would help.

Thanks!

http://www.posthouse.com I know that place can do a telecine +color correction for super 8mm. There are a bunch of other places - just search for them on google.

Another option is to do the poor-man's telecine, just project the footage and record it onto videotape.

check out kodak.com under the cinematography section. There should be a list of places that do transferring and developing all over the US.

i checked kodak's website, but there doesn't seem to be any place in Arkansas that does the job.

you might be better off sending to kodak to be processed and then getting it transfered at a local production house

Pro8MM has a terrible reputation among the Filmshooting.com forum members. I recommend staying away from them - they sell recans as 'fresh stock' and charge a premium price.

Wal-Mart outlabs their processing to Dwayne's in Kansas, but if you send it direct to Dwayne's it costs $9 plus shipping both ways. Apparently it takes a little over a week to a week and a half. W-Mart is $4.88, but takes 2-3 weeks.

I sent mine to Wal-Mart. I'll do the transfer at home with a projector and a white piece of paper.
