Hi,

Slightly leftfield question but I'm trying to track down old Super 8 or 16mm footage of trees (how they grow, roots etc.), soil (in terms of roots, tree), like this:

And waves (as in the ...

Any recommendations for making an efficient device for drying processed Super 8? Have a new darkroom and the days of hanging it on the clothes dryer at home are (hopefully) over.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Price for the DVD is the norm here, I don't mind though as LUX DVD's are always very well put together and feature work that is altogether difficult to see. I've just ordered the Mettler doc. looks very interesting indeed!

In regards the 16mm star-shots - we're essentially ...

I've just purchased the Tobin TTL for the Bolex Rex5, I'm interesting in a star trail sequence for a film I'm working on and am looking for some advice as to camera settings and possible film stocks (currently thinking of KODAK VISION3 500T). One reference point is a film by Emily Richardson titled ...

Dear Filmmakers,

On Saturday June 18th 2011, Wimbledon's alternative film club, the WFC, hosts the fourth Wimbledon Shorts Film Festival. We've got great people from across the film industry organising and judging the event and submissions are now open for everyone from experienced directors to ...

thanks Richard. Do you know if the 'long exposure' function is controllable or simply dependent on the fps you set the system to?

I'm looking to purchase a 16mm time-lapse system for a Bolex H16 Rex 5 but a bit unsure as to all the kit I'll need. I think:

Camera (have)
Tobin TTL (a good unit?)
External battery unit (Any recommendations? Do these have mains adapters as well? How long do these typically last run off battery ...

thanks.

It's the older version, the H8 RX. I had a self-built motor that worked well for a year or so but too much use and it's starting to fall apart. Would like to upgrade but just not sure what to get....if a Tobin was to work that would be great, some of those designs are incredible but I think ...

Can anyone recommend a time-lapse motor for the Bolex H8 and anywhere I might find one? I'm interested in the full spectrum of motors, I know there will probably be quite a huge range of prices!

Thanks.

Hi,

Anyone know where I might be able to get a bulb for this projector?

I went with a VC500, the 500W version of the Amazon one as recommended by the chap at the company, hopefully will be working in the next few days....

Thanks for all the replies to my question....I have just picked up the projector and scanning the plate reads:

Kodak Analyst II Projector
Model AV26L
120 Volts
50/60Hz
300 Watts Max

So based upon this info, am I right in thinking the amazon product below (as per Angus' post) should do the trick ...

Hi,

Just purchased a 16mm projector from the US to run in the UK (Kodak Analyst II). I know I need a transformer but can anyone point me in the right direction as to the correct one?

Thanks.

Am currently looking at a 16mm Kodak Analyst II projector, does anyone have any experience of this machine?

It would be from the US so presumably I'd need a transformer for use in the UK? If so, where might I get one from?

I also cannot find any info. about the fps that the projector can move ...
