they are in a room that is about 75 degrees right now, and i won't be able to send them in to get processed until Monday. Do you think i should put them in the refrigerator now, will the big change in temp mess the film up? should i just keep it on the shelf its on in the warmer room?

Storing exposed film

I just shot some negative stock a couple days ago, and was wondering if i should store the exposed film in the refrigerator until i send it out to be processed. I won't be able to send it out before i go out of town for Thanksgiving, so i was not sure if i should leave them on my shelf, or stash em ...

Everyone do yourself a favor... get a decent exposure meter, learn how to use it, and forget about using your camera's auto exposure especially with the negative stocks. One argument against using a hand held meter was that zoom lenses on S-8mm cameras admitted less light when at the longer focal ...

Geez, i feel like an idiot for asking so many questions, and not being a super 8 wiz like all you guys, but does that mean it will be 2 stops more exposed, or does that mean it will be 2 time more exposed? It doesn't look like i will be able to get ...

my bad. sorry. i confused this camera with another one. i still recommend an external meter though. much better results in high contrast situations, since you expose for the subject rather than the scene.

FYI - Pro8mm stock is notched for the relevant stock.

I thought so - and errs on the side of slight overexposure if I remember rightly.

ie I believe V200T would expose at 160ASA and V500 at 400ASA
are they notched daylight or tungsten? the highest daylight notch the canon 518 can read is 100 ...

man, thanks a bunch for all the help, i really appreciate it.

I am not sure of the camera, but the guy getting married might be borrowing a nicer camera from a friend that i will use, if not, i will be using my little Canon Auto Zoom 518 SV. It's nothing fancy, but i have shot many-a-rolls of ...

cool thanks for the help.

I don't have an external light meter, only the internal one on my Canon Auto Zoom 518 SV. I might be borrowing a better camera from a friend, but that still won't help me any.

Should a photography light meter work, or do i need a movie film light meter?

Shooting a Wedding

Hi,

This Saturday I will be shooting a wedding for a friend. I normally just shoot reversal stock, since i am a student with not a ton of money, but he ordered some negative film for me to use.

The wedding will be between around 4pm-6pm, so pretty much around sunset. The wedding will be held ...

Printing super 8 film on a inkjet printer

Hey guys,

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but it is pretty interesting. Too bad the results are so weird looking, maybe someone will improve it.

learning 16mm

One of my mom's friends just told me that she has this old 16mm projector that she is willing to give to me for free if I want it, and of course i do. I have been shooting super 8 for a while and have always wanted to learn how to shoot 16mm. I should have looked at the model number of the projector ...
