Super 8/16/35 - 5k scans in Canada @ Frame Discreet

[Justin Lovell]

Lasergraphics Scanstation 5k – 8/16/35mm has ARRIVED.

Little press release for you guys (we're really excited about being able to make this an option for us and you.)

Pleased to announce our new scanner!

I spent the last 2 years testing and visiting different scanner manufacturers.  The last test we did sealed the deal.  Spent 2 days with the engineers at Lasergraphics in LA and was blown away by the quality of the scans.  I tried everything to find a flaw in their scanner.. under exposed, over exposed, neg, reversal, shrunken, warped, brittle, sound, mag & optical… everything.. and it beat me every time.

Hands down the best multiformat Scanner available.

Certain FX houses have switched having 35mm scans done on the ARRISCANNER because they claim the registration is better on the Scanstation.  I believe it.  The optical registration blows my mind on how jitter free and solid it is.

If you can’t tell… we’re really excited by this.  So much so that we acquired the first and only 5k 8/16/35mm model in North America. Dedicated optical and mag sound heads.

Thanks for all your continued support to help us reach this milestone at Frame Discreet.

Thanks Andre!

Yeah, it's pretty crazy how things have changed from 2004. When I wanted to shoot a film on super 8 and couldn't find somewhere to transfer it at the quality I wanted without having to fly to the states to supervise a transfer....

Then with Roger Evan's help @ movie stuff, I got a workprinter and modded it to work with a broadcast camera from the film school I was going to.
Then modded that with a higher res camera and upgraded to a movie stuff Sniper.
Then bought a 16mm Sniper so I could shoot 16mm affordably... ;)
Then Upgraded to a custom built system - Our belladonna scanner for 2k Raw scans..

And now with our new studio and Lasergraphics Scanstation doing 5k scans.. and now 35mm!

This was never the plan, at first it was just some extra cash to help fund my own films... but seems to be constantly evolving thanks to all the people out there supporting film!

It's been a wild ride and continues to be!

So are you shooting 35 now? It's hard to back once you do...

Very cool Justin!

I look forward to see some 4K samples of Super8!

Best,
