16mm film sync emergency!

[binxalot]

On tuesday we were on a shoot and the camera guy (i did the sound) left the camera running at a speed of 30 frames a second.

The problem is this: The image isnt going to sync up with the audio because film is projected at 24 frames a second, not 30fps.

The obvious solution is to find a projector that runs at 30fps. But we still have to edit the film. How can we fix this, its not impossible. Since I dont have access to a steenbeck or a projector that runs at 30fps, does anyone have a cheap solution?

If you are trasnferring to videao to edit...in Premier you can just do some math figure out what percentage of 30 24fps is and reduce the speed by that percentage.

I assume you are trasnferring to video because as you humbly put me in my place on the Digitalvs. Film debate...we always end up putting it on a video format anyway.

Later,
J16mm
