Dear Ken,
It's my understanding that using a tripod to shoot super-8 will always give
you a slight vertical bounce. So I'm assuming this is all tripod footage...
The stabilization filter that comes with Final Cut 6 is pretty amazing. (I
almost used it for my last project, which had a lot of tripod super-8, but
by the time I finished editing I was so used to the movement that it didn't
bother me anymore.)
Also, could you share the name of the transfer house that you like so much?
Best,
Vera
