rewinding effect
Hi all!
My producer want’s me to do a rewinding effect of an 40min feature as the ending of the complete programm.
My question: is the only way to do this by mixdown the complete sequence and then apply an motion effect, or is there another easier and faster way?
It is just about getting the whole story running backwards. After in managed this i will apply some ‘bars’ moving down, like rewinding an Beta SP tape abd for sure some nice sound effects.thanks for your answers

Um…rather than try to create this effect with software, why not do it for real?
Lay the feature off to tape and record it being rewound to a second machine. Be sure not to regenerate the timecode on the dub or your Avid will freakout when you try to digitize it. If you dont have more than one machine, you can probably talk a dub house into helping you out with this one (a very long time ago I worked in a dub house and did this very thing for a client).

I’m sorry you have to work with this producer.

to save time, playout to tape, wild, no remote, tod code, the whole sequence, at as fast a speed as your set up will allow, prob 4x, then diditise back in off the same vt, running backwards etc, proably more realistic, and effectiwely faster than real time!

guys, thank you for yur answers!
I will give the crash-record-while-rewinding- method a try.
ony thing is, we work with DigiBeta… maybe the producers likes it…btw: Tae, my colleagues and me loved your answer :))
rock on

didbeta even better, run it back in at 24 times speed wild, tod code, and then pull in the opening and closing sections woth a nice smooth dmc from +1 to -1 x speed and vice versa, stitch it together, couple of mixes, mix down and treat it as a single clip. While you’re at it, chuck in a bb sp tape and suck in some nice sp spooling bars to key over your digi clip. Hey, get two digis and bin the avid!
cheers
