Processing and Transferring Vision 200T Thread not

**Alex** · March 27th, 2001, 10:28 PM

I tried to access the Vision 200T thread and it is not working.

The Irony is the topic switched to censorship, and now it is temporarily (I hope) saying there is no data available when I try to open it up.

Uh oh.

Time is 3:28, March 27, 2001 U.S Western time zone.

Wow!! that's really weird!!

lol, i hate to say it, but you are right. It switched to censorship because of me even though I really didn't mean for it to!!

Maybe it can let us start over and keep on the topic of where we can get vision 200t processed and transferred... I'm about to get started shooting (not this weekend, but the next) with my brand new 2X lens, and really really want to be able to get the vision film processed quick. and no, for this project there is NO WAY I could use Yale. The violence is... not gratuitous, but you see enough of it to probably disturb them.

Any suggestions of labs?

Also, if anybody has used it and got it processed and transferred already, how does it look? Is it worth using, or should we stick Kodachrome? I'll give everybody my thoughts after I get my film back... of course, that will be a while.

thanks in advance

Nigel I use Film craft lab as I live in Detroit. They don't process super 8 color only super 8 B&W.

Can someone explain to me how Yale Labs censors your film. After all they don't know what's on it until they process it. After that they can't hold from giving you your own footage back, that would be agaist the law. After all you own the footage.

It just seems real stupid to me that a film lab would do that. What the hell is wrong with them? They must loose a lot of business. Why are they even in the film lab business if they are going to do that.

This has been covered in other newsgroups. The concensus is "let it go" and don't use their services. It is a free country and they don't have to transfer anything they don't want to do.

Disagree.

First of all, transferring film is an entirely different procedure from processing.

You can stop a transfer session and give back the footage to the client...

What about processing?...here's your undeveloped film back ????

Or, "we can't give you back your dailies that you spent a thousand dollars on set, costume design, and crew, because even though you didn't break any laws, we don't approve of your footage, even though we don't even know what your position is on the topic you filmed that we find offensive...."

Also, very few labs actually do Super-8 to begin with, so to arbitrarily exclude (by means of a huge laundry list of exceptions) some filmmakers from your services when you have a partial monopoly in your area...is dicey.

....And although this topic was covered in other posts...those posts have been covered up, all data removed from one of the threads that had over 20 posts!

...which pretty much makes it as if the thread never happened, almost like censorship....the biggest irony of all.

My biggest concern is how ALL ENCOMPASSING their policy is.

I respect the idea of caring about what you do and not contributing to the delinquency of society, but their warning is far too sweeping in content.

It should be simplified and condensed to three short pargraphs, rather than the mini-novel that it currently is.
