My close friend has a short exprimental piece that she shot on S8 both B&W and color(Ektachrome, Kodachrome, PlusX and TriX). Then she went to DVCam for editing. Now she just got a 16mm print back from Filmcraft Labs (From a PAL BetaSP off of the AVID). I am going to see this print in the next week and will let all of know how it looks.
I don't know if the print is Tungsten or Xenon balanced but I will see it on a Xenon projector. I am very excited to see what it looks like.

OK--Here we go. I saw the film. It looked really good. I had the lights on in my "theater" and the workprint was Tungsten balanced and I have a Xenon projector so it was a bit blue, I am sure that it would have been better in the dark. There were some motion artifacts but nothing as bad as I thought. It was an MOS test so I don't know how the audio will be affected. It was made off an NTSC tape but I am sure if you had your 24fps film taken to PAL then the PAL put back to film it would look better. Good Luck and if you have any questions about it let me know.

You know, going pal would have been really interesting...with the frame rate being so close to super-8 anyway...
could your friend redo the project in pal....I know it may cost a bit of money...
but she may be on to something.

I know that she had a PAL copy made for a festival--however, it may look even worse off of that copy since it was made from a NTSC DVCam to a BetaSP PAL so talk about odd generations. It could be worth a shot. Filmcraft will give you an MOS 100' test roll for really cheap.

Definitely needs to be PAL directly from the Film Original...that is the beauty of film....
...unlike video, the look of film transferred onto video can be improved as video scanning and format technologies improve....
....but anything originally shot on video will never be better than it was at it's creation.
Imagine transfering to PAL, editing in a non-linear environment...than transerring back to a 35mm negative...hmmmmm.
