Filmshooting

Well, I'll be checking this forum again. I hope others use it. I've really come to dislike the dominant aspects of Facebook and I appreaciate Andres trying to keep this going if only as an archive of information.

I generally hate it when people post about digital "versions" of film, which totally miss the point, so please consider this just a public service in case your friends ask. Similar to the "digital bolex" of a few years ago (now folded) but at $5 US instead of 4000, here is the &q...

This just came over the transom. $20 scans per 50 ft roll using (what looks like) the Lasergraphics Scan Station. Discounts for more than 5 rolls. Thoughts?? https://filmphotographystore.com/collections/fpp-scanning-services/products/film-scanning-services-super-8-regular-8mm?fbclid=IwAR3o_fW3yGR0LB...

I got a grant from the Interbay Film Society here in Seattle that covered my film scan by Lightpress, so I shot a super 8 short over the winter. "The Boulevard of Semi Reconstructed Dreams" is currently in post production. I am very happy to have gotten get this opportunity! Also have anot...

I still think the larger issue with audio is going to be camera noise. The motor is going to have to be very very quiet to be spinning a super 8 cart, unless there's something about the new design that's better insulated than it appears.
However, I am totally rooting for its success!

Hi Richard - interesting! And handy, because I'm shooting mostly at night. Any guidelines for a sunny/daytime shooting with this camera? It's a Eumig 125 XL S. Super 8 wikia claims it has a manual exposure option but I sure don't see one.
thanks!!

Hi folks, rewording a previous question -- I've got a camera that does not have manual exposure. How will it respond to 500 T? I've previously only used TriX with it, no problems of course.
thanks much!!

Hi folks -- I'm working on a nighttime project next month and hoping to use my snazzy Eumig 125XL because of its very fast lens. I've previously only shot reversal outdoors in the daytime with the camera, this'll be my first time trying the T500 on super 8 at night in dark conditions. My main questi...

Glad to see it in progress, even though yes yes, it was a poorly thought out marketing attempt. They were probably trying to seem casual and mysterious. I want to see some sound tests, though. Something like Pro8 put up for the Logmar a while back - I can't find it anymore but it was a static shot o...

The sound of the wind as nothing actually moves. Although the car could be running :) Easy to sync. Yeah, I was hoping for something like Pro8 put up a while back - I can't find it anymore but it was a static shot of a girl talking, shot in color but desaturated to be in b/w. It was fairly lovely a...

Here's some first test footage shot with the new Kodak super-8 camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPouFREPqds&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=yesmail&utm_campaign=super8&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20161216_super8_footage Looks promising! I was hoping to get some sound with it ...

.I've been wondering how they were going to handle the audio syncing during transfer... I wonder if they'll do a two-pop! Generate a dot on the film and a beep when the audio starts. That'd be cool. I'm still wondering how they're going to account for the camera noise vs. audio. Maybe I'm just stuc...

Well this is interesting. Wolverine's youtube page now contains a link to this dropbox "sample", which you can actually simply watch (don't need to download) here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x1n4m8k0ot7p3yh/14%20seconds%20sample.mp4?dl=0 I'd say it looks as good as could possibly be expecte...

I think this is brand new from Wolverine, the plastic merchants for those who want iffy quality at 780p, but, for only 300$ USD 8mm and Super 8! http://secure.mm5server.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WD&Product_Code=F2DMM100&Attributes=Yes&Quantity=1 There's also a very laco...

Richard PT, if there is a petition to include small labs in the Kodak family of processors, I'd be delighted to sign it and do what I can to help promote it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Stubborn little labs have been crucial in keeping film alive. Kodak should know that, if they're not too bu...
