35mm movie film in an slr camera?

[hmc4me]

Hi. I know I saw this question somewhere before but I can't remember if it was here or not.

I want to bulkload 35mm movie film, like the kodak vision films for use in my slr so I can do some test shots to see how this film looks.
Is this practical?
Anyone done this before?

Thanks

I get film like that from Fuji MP before I shoot a project. The one thing is that if you do shoot it I wouldn't make the standard 4x6 glossy prints. You should have it printed onto film and mounted so you can project the slide.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info.
I start the Commercial Photography program at North GA Tech in April so I will do all the prints myself.

please note that the processing for motion picture film is not the same as the standard c-41 for still film... the motion picture film would ruin a whole batch of still films if not discovered and a lot of ppl would be very unhappy (as would the lab).

so, please use a lab that processes movie film instead.
also note that if you're interested in paper prints, still photo film would be more suitable than motion picture film... the later really shines if you print it on motion picture print film and use those as slides.

Here is a great link. This lab started loading movie film for slr cameras
years ago. They still do it I think. You can get prints & slides from the same roll of film:

They may process bulk loaded film but not sure.

I know RGB in Hollywood, Ca. has been doing this for years. They are on Highland pretty close to the kodak lab. In film school this is where we went all the time and the prices were reasonable. Uh nevermind they don't even have a website. Sorry bout that.

here is the website for RGB Color Lab:

They have always been very nice and friendly to me, and they do good work. Though for me I walk there from home, so maybe I am biased.

Fuji in London said that they offer this, but I was thinking - are the perforations the same?

Hi
thanks for all the info.
I was going to process it myself.
This is a future project of mine. It will be months before I do this but wanted to make sure it works before I spent a lot of money on it.
Thanks

And what if you're loading it into a 35mm camera for use in a movie?

(think bullet-time tech as seen in "the Matrix", all done with 35mm SLR cameras)

Some extra trivia: a 35mm Nikon still camera was used to shoot the stop motion sequence involving the rail carriages in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The camera was modified to take a movie magazine.

Even more trivia: leica cameras were originally designed to test movie film stocks, since so many of the stocks had unpredictable results back in the early days of filmmaking

Weeeeee Indiana Jones facts!
I saw that too on the DVD.

Can someone here break this down for me, I know little of the workings of cameras. Seeing how expensive 35mm movie cameras are, and also giving the fact that my 16mm camera seems to have very little to it - is it very difficult to construct a 35mm movie camera from a SLR and the workings of a 16mm camera?
Forgive my ignorance in advance!

Ah, on second thoughts I'll just stick with Super 8 until I've learned to cope with it!
Damn difficult this. :oops:
