An Alternative to Super-16
Various 16mm production techniques are compared with 35mm by the “Format/Emulsion System” which uses a specified camera format with a calculable frame area and a specified film stock emulsion with a calculable information density. Films evaluated include the new Eastman color negative II film 5247/7247. Besides emphasizing the need for a full set of professional-quality 16mm anamorphic lenses, it is concluded that on a small budget high-quality motion pictures may be produced using Eastman Ektachrome Commercial film 7252 and shooting with a 16mm full-aperture for anamorphic wide-screen productions.
