Re: Fuji 64d neg test roll in glorious STANDARD 8!
Beautiful! It's been quite a while since Ive seen regular 8mm footage but that looked retro in a really cool way. Nice and sharp...I see the Canon lens really delivered the goods. I enjoyed the slow motion play between the two dogs...that was a highlight. Great colours...especially the reds...they really pop. Impressive transfer too....is this using the DSLR set up you mentioned?

Re: Fuji 64d neg test roll in glorious STANDARD 8!
Hi Patrick, thanks for the feed back. Yes I like the way the neg captures colours its way different then reversal.
The dog jumping 64fps bit was a bit under exposed (the colour dropped off a bit) That was the cameras light meter lying to me.
This transfer was using a standard def 3ccd panasonic gs400 with a backwards 50slr lens attached to the front shooting the gate. The slr looks way better. But the brutal shutter usage is the deciding factor to go with video rather than dslr.
The dslr footage probably doesn't even look twice as good when watching on a tv or computer. It would kill the camera after doing 2hr of footage. So we will only use the slr for the bits we want in our finished animation. The dv is good for off line and to see if the footage has worked.
We are about to try a raynox 202 lens that is supposed to allow our Sony fx1 to shoot really macro. So if that works without vignetting. We will be able to do a hdv telecine. We had many attempts with this camera, but the lens's we had on (various backwards 50mm slr lens) just weren't quite wide enough and the edges always got darkened. The colours were a bit better on the sony.I guess cause its a more pro camera than the pana.
The other cool thing with the neg standard 8/16 is the labs does it really cheap compared to reversal.
Talk Soon
