Thanks Mike. Look forward to meeting you there.
what a fantastic line up of speakers and events. should be a great opening weekend for the new microplex.
Just in case there is anyone hoping to make a film in the traditional way ie chemical printing.
I am still negative cutting 35mm and 16mm original negative for artists and old school film makers.
I can work with EDL or work print, in PAL or NTSC, with 2, 3 or 4 perf 35mm i can also cut negative overlength for scanning with a conform disc to suit.
Let me know if i can help. I was the negative cutter on Troy, Batman Begins, Kingdom of Heavan, King Auther, Midsommer Murders, Spooks, to name but a few.
