Filmshooting

No offending but I do not quite get this? A $$$ camera to shoot €0.002 quality film? Not producing better images than a 70ś camera? Imagery software (post) development seem to be by far outgunning the potential of this camera. I say Hype and I say doom like international issue of the "...

S8 porn movies maybe... really not but they were available in the 70s. BUT my "door opener" to what became S8 was my friend´s family home R8 movies shown on a silent projector. now, i found that magic and a door was opened to film making in general. my tool of choice became the S8 forma...

there should be a matching projector which plays sound. iirc a member on this forum knew well about these cams and projectors. try to search on the good or ebay on Fairchild 8mm sound projectoor.

Andreas, i phink you forgot to mention that you live in PAL-land which has the 25 fps base TV standard ;) 1:1 awrite....

could the buyer be "Magic Alex" by chance.......?...?? very very difficult situation but as i see it not for you apart from the problems the buyer tries to burn mark on you. it is definitely a seller/buyer case which you carry no responsibility for. wouldn't worry about the reputation at a...

The full story in German: 45 Jahre Super 8 marking the 45 year anniversary in 2009. Googlified in Translation and as one would expect; originally crafted by Jürgen Lossau :) walking on a nostalgic journey into a choppy and grainy, but somehow cozy world of yesterday. Jürgen LBerti Vogts did, W...

from the soft disk i think to recall that what became Super8 / Single8 started as a cooperative act between Kodak And Fuji - a common 8mm film cartridge system were to be ready in time for the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 1964 to sort of introducing a much simpler system than the old "dual/regular&...

I like it. Reminds me of a hiding game i sometimes did for Xmas with my kids. Used to hide away the most interesting gifts with a code link to find. Sometimes inginuitive. This one is good mood enjoyable like it. Side note how come you all drive 4WD down there in the flatlsnds? I very much enjoyef i...

if you can get holt of some old Canon collimation tool stuff - they were designed for the 1014 & 814 XLS used for lens collimation - using the projection method - this was hi res films with tight route cross pattern all over the plane with a resolution of a minimum of 115 or 125 lpm to be pro...

apart form the obvious differences between the Logmar and the old Canons and the Nikons (R8 R10) those cameras (and a few others) would do rewind and transitions. however the Kodak (silent carts only) would only accept approx 100 frames backwind due to cartridge limitations. (Nikon patent) The Canon...

I spoke with Lasse from Logmar. In theory the camera could be run in reverse - through a change in the software, but in practice it's uncertain what the result would be - could very well damage the camera. So for the time being the Logmar is a forward only camera. C why would you reverse the film r...

not sure this spring system is a good design in terms of image stability n focus.

not sure if this helps a lot but here are the prices on Kodak S8 film at Wittner Germany: http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katalog/04_filmm/s8_filmm.php no idea if there has been an increase but i suppose it will be. EDIT: Wittner informed about a price increase earlier in 2014. 07.04.2014 - Kodak/...

unfortunately another WWII movie which seems promising though.... The Imitation Game. (mentioned by Andreas in a different thread) when the brits constructed the worlds first computer to crack the German Enigma coded messages.... trailer: http://youtu.be/Sn-7SNrQWMo now, how was that possible? we...

you are a bit inacurate here AJ. the brits and the US signed an agreement on a nuclear programme in Quebec in August 1943 and Roosevelt was surprisingly open treating Germany, Italy and Japan about what was to come. check this BBC documentary from 1973 which is pretty good anyway at 37:00. http://yo...
