LOL I forgot that the british say Zed... I wish we did...
You should see the names of places in Ireland, they're pronounced completely differently than they're written. Its insanity...

how about the town called "Dildo" in Canada? thats a good one

Cool, I will research more on the superduper8 (I like the name :) ). The Bauer camera looks like itsonly been used a couple of times, but the six AA batteries (which I had to forcibly push into the handle) don't seem to fit right. Maybe AA's were smaller a while back? In any case, the batteries don ...

It's a cool video. I like the beginning the best, with the footage of the bridge and the pigeon. Are you sure thats really 8mm, or could it be DV with extensive post-production effects?

Just out of curiousity; what do most of you shoot with S8, 16mm, or DV? Dramatic movies (ei. shorts or features), home movies, experimental? Are most people here 'filmmakers' in the traditional sense?

I have done interviews before, although not for film, and it is important to note that it is partly an "ad-lib" process. Having pre-made questions is important, but as an interviewer it is important to be flexible and go with the flow of the interview, rather than always refering back to the list of ...

I just saw all the videos (except for the two home movie clips- I couldnt download them). Wow! I was really suprised how good they looked. The "pulse of life" movie was really cool; I've never seen a time lapse piece that interesting. The widescreen clips were nice too, I was suprised at how good ...

Does anyone know of any (good) downloadable video transfers of 8mm footage? I'm new to this and would love to see what 8mm looks like if filmed well. The only 8mm i've seen was my grandfather's home movies..... thanks

Thanks tlatosmd,
I was thinking about transfering to HD for editing. As for my Bolex, I just threw that out there. It's really old, and it wouldn't be much help for shooting anythingwith sound. It's called "revere 40". I didn't know there were different kinds of 8mm film that were incompatable. I ...

Thanks for the replies, I need to do more research on the prices I guess. to shoot in 8mm i would think would be more difficult as they've stopped producing the film, or do they still make it? As for buying an 8mm camera, do they make models that can sync sound? I guess I was under the impression ...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, just have a few questions. I am planning on writing and shooting a short film sometime in the near future, and I've been thinking about the different formats I could shoot in. I've considered video, and it would be by far the easiest and cheapest format, but I'm also ...
