Re: B&W Super 8 Music Video

Hey,

Thanks for watching. It was shot in Bow Brickhill woods near Milton Keynes in the UK. It's such a great location as it's totally different in the summer and incredibly beautiful in the autumn.

Each to his own I guess about the sameyness... but part of the video was to keep it simple, it was ...

B&W Super 8 Music Video

Hey,

If anyone is interested this is a music video I shot recently for my band Final Clearance. I shot it with a Canon 1014-XLS on both Plus-X and Tri-X film. The telecine was by SuperSens in Amsterdam. It took them a while due various issues, but they did a great job!

I did have problems with the ...

Re: Canon 1014 Counter Problem

Hi,

New development. Turns out it was not the counter that was broken. Film was not running through the camera like I thought. So I had someone look at it and it would appear that the nylon strips that turn the gears in the camera are shredded.

The guy I spoke to says thats it, there is nothing I ...

Canon 1014 Counter Problem

Hi,

Sorry to have to post this, I've done a search but can't quite get the answer.

I have a Canon 1014 Electronic that has been working brilliantly for me. However on my last shoot a Vision2 cartridge jammed on me and since then the counter on the side won't turn when I press the trigger.

I did a ...

Sync Sound Question

I've had a search but can't find anything conclusive. I'm looking to shoot a music video with a band.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to shoot on super 8 and sync it up to the sound on the record. I would like to have the band playing along to the track for most of the video, so its quite ...

Vision 2 Process Problem

Hi,

Part of me is hoping I'm being incredibly naive here but...

I shot a reel of processed paid Vision 2 from the Widescreen Centre in London with my Canon 1014 Electronic. I got it back this morning and when I put it in my projector all the footage was negative.

Never had this problem before, I ...

Cheers for your help guys!

Will be shooting it with a Canon 1014 (not XLS the older one), so hopefully it will work? It better as it turns out the band's label will be paying for the stock and processing costs!!

Super 8 In Live Music Venue

Hi,

I'll be shooting a music video next month and I was wondering whether anyone knows how well Super 8 will work in a dark music venue lit only by stage lights?

I assume I'd have to use either 200T or 500T Kodak Vision 2 stock?

Thanks for any help, please excuse any ignorance from my newbieness ...
