Made a mostly DS8 music video

Post by Wade »

There is one 25 foot roll of Plus X regular 8 with a Bolex P1. The DS8 is ORWO UN54, and some E100D using a Bolex H8.

Very good.
I thought the music was very "Greensleeves", very nice.
The film technique looks good too, is the Bolex the DS8 camera ? Got any more details for us ?

The Bolex H8 Rex 4 is the modified DS8 camera. It has the turret with the regular 8 lenses. Some of the shots have vignetting when using the 5.5mm lens due in large part to the gate having been widened (basically a super-duper gate) when the camera was modifed to super 8. I used a Tobin motor at 60fps on the part at the end with the leaves falling in front of Margie. Hopfully it looked a little dreamy there.

Looks nice - well done :-) The stock and format selection really suit the hippy 70's feel of it :-)

Congrats
