Filming computer graphics...

I am interested in creating computer graphics, say animation, and then
transfer them in Super 8mm film. The idea could also be applied to add
titles or special effects in a movie. The graphics will be at least
1280x1024 so the quality is good enough for hidding pixels that would show
on screen using lower resolutions. The screen to be used is an LCD screen,
so flicker is not a problem as the whole image is drawn at once (no tracing
ray). The Super 8mm camera will be set on a tripod and the room will be kept
in dark to avoid stray light affecting the image. The question is what type
of film can I use. Could I use reversal Ektachrome 64T or the screen isn't
bright enough to expose correctly? I want the final film to be able to
project on a screen. What about the color balance? Assuming I use the film
without the filter to make it as sensitive as possible, I should change the
screen to 3400K right? There are some utilities to do that. To set exposure
I could have a white screen to use the light meter, or is there something
else?

I was thinking of using a negative film that is more light sensitive. To
make the film positive, could I just reverse the colors in the computer
before filming? Any other ideas?
