Vision 2 Process Problem

[tomsimpson]

Hi,

Part of me is hoping I'm being incredibly naive here but...

I shot a reel of processed paid Vision 2 from the Widescreen Centre in London with my Canon 1014 Electronic. I got it back this morning and when I put it in my projector all the footage was negative.

Never had this problem before, I really hope I'm doing something wrong otherwise this reel is trashed!

Figured I'd ask here as they are closed for the weekend,

Cheers,
Tom

It's a negative film, Tom. You need to get it telecined. Or DIY and use software to do the inverting eg premiere pro cs3 does this.

Vision2 200t & 500t are negative films, much like 'normal' 35mm camera film. They are NOT suitable for projection, as they can only be viewed as a positive by transferring to video, much as a 35mm neg needs to be printed in order to view the positive image.

Thank goodness, I've never been more relieved to be stupid!

Cheers

There are two ways to see Vision S8 and any negative film:
One telecine and two make a print (only avialable in Andec germany)

How weird. The second time I played the film, all the action came out backward! Who'da thunk it?

Oh, you mean I gotta rewind it first?
