Alrighty, I need to make one of my actors dissapear. Question is, how? It's being shot on 16mm, so none of this poxy DV pause button trickery either please!

You can get the shot with the actor in the scene. Then get a shot with the actor not in the scene. Crossfade the two shots and that's one way of doing it.

THE FILM COMMUNE
duh...
camera on a tripod
film actor.
stop filming.
Actor walks out of shot
start filming again
Hey presto the character pops out of exsistence.
Or do an in camera fade out.
------------------
I was gonna say, what are you going on about 'no pause button' all you have to do is stop filming

'It comes in Pints?!'
yeah, but DV is poxy, remember

Why so down on DV? Its affordable, easy to use, and has good quality results. Or is this a 'real film makers ONLY use film' type of snobbery.
------------------
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
O god lets not start this DV vs Film crap again. The fade sounds best because the charachter is being transported to another reality type thing.

If you're feeling brave, you can do this all in-camera, if you have a Bolex type camera with a back winder. Otherwise it may need to be done with optical printing the same way any cross-dissolve would be done.

Yeah, but what are you editing on?
If it is a straight to video release, don't stop the camera, just have the actor walk out of the shot.
stopping and starting the camera may result in a slight "bobble".
Just create the effect when you edit digitally.

OK...NO IT'S NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO VIDEO!
I need a simple effect that can be done on film without costing me a fortune. Ill be cutting digitally but then transferring back to a finished 16mm print.
