Steenbeck & Hokushin

This afternoon we worked with the Steenbeck editing machines for the first time. We’ll be using them to cut our 16mm films shot on Arri S cameras.

The coolest part was, with lights all off, we started scrolling through the film, and the film was moving across to the other reel really fast, and all the individual pictures turned into motion. It was so quick! That’s probably a terrible description, but with a toggle of a switch, life was sparked into the image on screen.

Unfortunately, physically cutting film and taping pieces of film together was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I got a lot of air bubbles… my friend below had much better success though :)
