    How do I convert feet to running time when shooting on film?

    Working out the running time for your film is as simple as follows:

    – 16mm shot at 24fps will be 36ft per minute
    – 35mm shot at 24fps will be 90ft per minute

    Remember that changing the camera speed (i.e. increasing/decreasing the frame rate) will affect these ratios!
