When I get home tommorrow I shall try to post some. My computer has Power DVD which can capture stills as JPEGs. If all else fails I could PM then e-mail them to you.
They show both indoor and outdoor scenes taken a couple of years ago in France when I was a 6th former (Senior student for the Americans) and they're rather good.
Anybody shoot Svema "Quarzchrome" lately?

great...
thanks, looking forward to taking a look at what it looks like and what I can expect if the moon is in the 2nd house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
OK here they are at last. The stills from the Svema. Unfortunately the sepia tint must have been edited out in transfer by the transfer guys to make it monochrome, but the image quality is still the same.
The outdoor night shot is here (bottom right picture)

And the indoor pictures are here

They were all taken on a trip to France when I was at 6th form/ college.
Enjoy!

and to think I used to spend hours rendering really crappy scratches on video to get it to look similar. Forward into the past!
really grainy, decrepit look - looks ancient compared to the newer kodaks...
any movie lights on those indoor scenes or was that just light bulbs and the f-stop hovering below 2?
might be interesting to blast the contrast up in post to over-compensate for the age and give it stronger blacks.
Decrepitly delicious!
Looks fun, looking forward to giving it a shot and smearing vaseline all over a filter.
The thing I'm messing with now is mostly on tri-x, but it'd be nice to get a really worn, bitterly soviet look to some of these winter ocean scenes:

Believe it or not there was no extra lighting, nor was the camera XL. I think the age seems to have given the film a greater speed rating (when age is meant to do the opposite!).
This was shot with a Sankyo Super CM 400 with the apeture opened up as far as it would go (f1.9 if I remember rightly.)
If this is what you've been looking for there's some on ebay

Re: !
I also noticed the similarity to video (such as sharpening halos and blown-out highlights) and I'd say it's due to the off-the-wall transfer. Meaning the actual quality must be better.thebigidea wrote:and to think I used to spend hours rendering really crappy scratches on video to get it to look similar. Forward into the past!

hi all
re SVEMA/QUARZCHROME...
yes I've used this stock, with an expiry of 1993, and up till now have had it processed by Widescreen, (don't know who does it for them but I'm going to start doing it myself now ....)
The results I got back were actually pretty good. nice grainy old-school look, quite strong image at reasonable contrast, almost a greeny-sepia tint to some rolls. The film itself seems quite thin. I've read that if you home-process this stock you can get higher-contrast results by experimenting with the developing times - seems likely - and at £2.50/roll I can afford to try a few out.
cheers Phil
