Some Super 8 Questions...

....if anyone can help. I've been shooting in a variety of Super 8 stocks in
the last year. My plan now is to make a narrative short. My main concern is
having the right equipment with me (I intend to edit by transferring to dv
and whacking into final cut pro).

1) Sound. I was thinking of using DAT or Mini disc on a boom mic and
then--sixty four thousand dollar question--synching it up in FCP. I know
that you can 'pull' soundtracks back and forth in FCP. Any thoughts?

2) I want to shoot in colour and black and white. In terms of black and
white I was thinking of Kodak Plus X for exteriors and Tri X for indoors.
Any thoughts about lighting. Is there, for example, any lamps that are worth
having with you or reflector boards? I want a few colour shots and wonder
what people here think is the best colour film to use. I like the saturation
of Kodak 40 but it's very temperemental.

3) Once the film is edited and on a DVD will it project 'big' all right?


Cheers

Matt, if you do this, how is it suppose to be in sync? Do the actors
remember how fast or slow they spoke thir lines and are they able to
repeat their lines exactly in time with the first take when the camera
was on? Or is their some post sound manipulation here. I don't understand.

Thanks Matt for any clarification,
