A bit late to help you but it may be of help to someone else one day.

I also use a hearing aid battery 1.4 volt with a very small rubber belt to hold it central. It could be your battery is moving around loosing circuit contact perhaps. Had some great results from my Leicina Standard 8 camera this ...

Hi. We used some 20 odd year old out dated OCh-45 super 8 for a flashback sequence in a colour film and it worked very well, but it does rather depend on the effect you are looking for.

Its really wonderful to see Ektachrome on sale again although I guess I was one of the lucky people who had a big enough stock of it to keep me going as did others. Ordered some of the new batch and will look forward to giving it a twirl shortly. ;)

May sound a little cranky but over way too many years film making I developed a good way to limit wasted time when making films in a small group involving only one location.

Do the script and run through it.
Make sure everyone knows what they are doing.
Get everything else arranged.

The first time ...

And another...

Inventive new idea, I would just do it.
