If you shoot a movie using film (Like super 8, 16mm, 35mm), what is that machine called that takes your film and converts it to a digital media for editing. I can't remember the name of it.
The process is called "telecine"
=============================================
The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.
Joseph Joubert, essayist (1754-1824)
What all is involved?
do a google search for "telecine"
I just did one and all kinds of information came up. Looks like the film is scanned into the computer.

Years ago, I shot a Super 8mm feature and they (Starfax - no longer exists) used a Rank Cintel to transfer the film. I also had a 16mm feature transferred to DV Cam. The nice thing was that they didn't have to print a positive. They process the film and transfer right from the negative, flipping the polarity, electronically. Of course, what you see and get is the normal positive image. I had this done, a couple of times, at FotoKem labs in Burbank. The hourly rate was pretty high. One hour of raw footage usually equals 2 hours of transfer, if you are doing any cropping or image/color correction. Once you transfer to HD or DV you can make an MPEG2, then make a DVD out of it.
