have you seen Napoleon, made i believe in the late teens or early 20's? stunning also with each segment in a different tone. i believe francis ford coppala's father redid the score to it.

if you havent seen it, try to check it out. same visual genre.

thanks for the reply. i just purchased dracula, twilight, heart of the world and archangel on DVD. really stunning. he's a master of that type of story telling genre. AND ABOVE ALL, HE'S OUT THERE DOING IT! gotta tip my hat to him for that.

i figure there still alot of post in his films. im curious ...

im a huge fan of the look of guy maddin's films. he shoots mostly with b/w 16mm & super 8 film.

i was wondering if anyone know what camara/ lens/ filters/ diffusers/ etc... he uses to get that turn of the century look? its almost perfect in capturing the lens fairs, the flicker, vignetting, film ...

many thanks for the replies... i will try 15 images/ sec.

i am using a G4 dual processor, so i would love to know the name of the software packege you write of...

many thanks again..

ive used Du-All in NYC, and they were excellet with my 6080 & 801 macro.

focusgroup,

a listing of a website would be really helpfull.

thanks.

not that much more to add actually....

i find that the meduim is booming in the music video area because S8 has a home spun look, that is somewhat a refreshing contrast to slick light & 35mm. i see it more from emerging bands. the directors use the medium well. its great to see that its being used ...

i just came home from a 2 week business trip throughout europe and saw where MANY directors we using S8 film in their music videos. it was cool to see...

Arggg...

forgot to log in...

does anyone have info on the 6080??

so funny that you mentioned this site. i was just there, vis the meta-directory. i will give hem a call next week.

sorry, forgot to log in...

is there a company in new york city (preferably) that sells super 8 materials, like the ones mentioned above?

or an online resource would do equally as well.

best,

martin

while surfing, i came across this site of ralph dickinson, who specializing in hand processing super8. very interesting. explores solarizing, etc.

he's after a more organic look; not sweeky clean film, which i find attacttive.

there are also many quicktime clips.
