QUIZ: Fuji x 2: Which Is Film and Which Is [DIGITAL]?

Post by S8 Booster »

Co-accidentally I have 2 almost identical shots - one with a Fuji DIGI cam and one with Fuji Film.
In light of the debate Analog vs DIGI you may suggest which one is digital and which is analog (film).

Slight Format differences is no clue.

The photos are snapshots only - no photographic setup.

the second one seems to be underexposed so this presents a littel bit of a problem when comparing the two.

The reason for the blured faces is their Alien OriginatioN! 8)

The digital image is in fact very good. Original size is 1600 pix width. For magnification the film is superior though, and - I personally like the filmlook better although the scanner screwed up the colour balance somewhat compared to the original.

For curiosity from the film: 5.5 x 4.5mm scan (S8 frame size)

Wooooow!!!!

"The Ring" (the original one) is one of the scariest movies I ever seen. It remembers me some of my childhood fears: people scaping from the TV screen...

That never will happen with super8 :P

Won't it? You speak too soon avortex ...never say never... 8O

Damn you mattias and your sense of humour, luring weak willed ppl (myself) to post off-topic in somebody elses thread ~shakes fist~ lol

...You know avortex, i kinda like the idea (for a film) where exists this myth of an infamous local director known to make such dark and oppressive films it is said they have driven ppl to suicide & madness.

During the shooting of his "Masterpiece" it is told that he disappeared halfway through production never to finish it, never to be seen again...the reels becoming lost, fading into part of folk history.

Years after this is said to have occured, a young filmstudent decides to write a paper on the said director, becoming increasingly obsessed, where he is eventually lead to an old cabin in the hills where the director was said to stay while writing his screenplays. By chance he finds the lost (supposedly cursed) reels of the unfinished masterpiece hidden within the walls, shot on old dirty and scratched 8mm film. Strange and sinister things begin to happen after he views the reels and things are not what they seem...could it be the directors malignant spirit lives on through his films, possessing those that see it with madness & death? who knows....

~looks up~ gees, I talk alot of bollocks :roll:

This idea of a lost film-director whose films subliminally affect the viewer has already been done; check out the book "FLICKER" by Theodore Rozak.

The film of this book is in preproduction as Darren Aranofsky's next film.

In the book a cult director of German origin called Max castle, who worked during the silent era, is being researched by a film student and he discovers that the director was part or an heretical sect from the middle ages called the Cathars and their main aim is to stop the world from procreating, thereby ending humanity.

Castle's films had images implanted behind and within the original films by a process invented by him, the images were only picked up by the subconscious mind to entrap the viewer into watching them and sap their libido. The student is trying to track down his lost films and find out what happened to Castle hinself

The student finds himself at the end of the book trapped on an island (by the sect) with a one other stranger who turns out to be Castle himself. Castle is making his final film on an editing bench using scraps of leftover film, the film's title is "The End".

of course, it's one of the oldest ghost stories there is. before film there were photographs and paintings, before that books, and before that rings and amulettes. what's your point?

The point is that our "anonymous guest's" story idea is almost identical in events to "Flicker" (which is to be made), that the idea of a film about the psychology of film has not really been done before the way a film of "Flicker" could be, so what is the point in plagiarism?

It could possibly infringe copyright or merely be seen as a rip off.

That it has been done about other mediums or using other mediums was not my point to begin with.
