a new standard for 64t

[mattias]

got 11 rolls of 64t back from andec today and just had to project it. it's easily the best looking super 8 i've ever seen, 100d and k40 included. mind you i didn't shoot this so although i'm the director i'm not bragging. ;-)

i managed to get a dp who was recently grammy nominated for another video and he turned out to be the man. we're scanning on monday. stay tuned.

(yes, it's grainy but less than my previous experiences)

I look forward to that....and hope your projector doesn't scratch film!

If I recall, it was'nt the film stock that was problematic as many here thought. It was the fact that Dwayne's was not processing it to the same standard that othere labs were.

That could be good news for Regular 8. Becasue the 100D seems to be quite expensive in Regular 8. Probably because of the T Grain technology. I wonder if 64T will be available in Regular 8? I have not yet tried 64T because I have been waiting to see what oppinions develope over it's use.

Mattias,
Did you have problems with image steadiness?

[Will2]

Good to hear, just bought 2 cartridges.

Got two rolls of Velvia back from Spectra today and I have to say I'm really impressed with that stock when exposed properly. Such rich color!

I'm sending the Velvia and a roll of Ektachrome 64T to Flying Spot in Seattle for an HD scan, I'll post results when they come in. Won't be a scientific test, but should be interesting to see.

[mattias]

very cool. keep em coming. perhaps this could be the thread that makes us feel good about the future for once. ;-) no, we had no trouble with image steadiness, not with the previous 15 carts i shot either. then again i never had such problems with any stock after the bad carts were fixed.

I have always liked the 64T.

It is cool that you find it appealing.

Enjoy it.

Good Luck

Yeah, let's see some pics when you get the footage transfered Mattias! I love the way the stock looks. People tend to rag on it for grain and the 64 ASA speed in tungsten light. Millions of people, myself included, shot Kodachrome indoors at 40ASA... a half stop faster and with better lattitude, why not shoot 64T indoors? I predicted that some talented people would make some very nice films shot on 64T. Sounds like one is in the making. 8)

Is 64T available in 16mm?

[audadvnc]

Nope, you've got to use that E100 that everybody wants in Super 8. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, eh?

Mattias,
Did you have problems with image steadiness?

I have used 3 cartridges of 64T so far with my Nizo 801M and all of them were very unsteady. So bad that I'm beginning to think my camera has a problem.

Too bad, the colors are very good.

i also like 64t. i've shot two rolls and both came out well exposed and very steady.

Where did you guys get your film processed at?
