Hello Filmies,
Well, the subject line is relatively accurate but probably a little broad and I realize that. My focus (no pun, maybe) is to determine if I can use my Elmo ST 1200 HD to add analogue sound via a separate Cassette Deck and or Reel to Reel, on both Main and Balance stripes and have it roughly in the position I need it to be for final play? I know that unless I use an Elmo SR-1 with synchronizer (I have the syncro btw) that I cannot add sync dialog. I don't wanna add sync dialog. I wanna shoot and edit a film and present it almost as if it were a silent film but with music and narration roughly in the general proper place. . My goal is to make a film the way I did for my first ever Super 8 I shot in the 80's. Profile pic is me shooting that 80's film with my Canon 1014 xls while racing down I-5 near Stockton - oh the 80's.
For that film I shot on silent reversal. Had mag stripe added. And then used, with the help of the late great Super 8 Filmmaker Dennis Duggan of SF, his Goko 8008 Editor to add both music to Main and Narration to Balance. In that case before I took it to Dennes, I talked my way into San Francisco State film lab and used their Super 8 Sound recorder II (Uher) to transfer my source music from records - my narration from reel to reel tape onto Full Coat. I hope not to have to do something like that again - but I can't remember if it needed to be in sync for Dennis' Goko?
Can I do this with the Elmo ST 1200 HD I have and not worry about transferring from Full Coat? And fellow fanatics, are there any big problems or pitfalls I should be aware of and avoid if I transfer from basic analog players?
All the best - Happy New Year!
