Silent films expressing sound?!

Watching the film of the link http://www.magyar.film.hu/object.f5436702-979a-454b-a36d-ed4cd143875d.ivy , which is given in the thread "home movies", without sound brought me to the point where a dog barks and at the same moment the film is overexposed. First I thought it was on purpose to...

Re: Home movies

I watched the film - or what was left of it on the computer screen - and I have to admit that it produced something like a nostalgic feeling with me. I guess it is the calmness it is able to transmit; this was suddenly interupted by the appearance of the bobycat - surely a wanted shock. I watched th...

Especially this thread interested me - I own a few Moviflex cameras and I finally want to share my experience with you. I have been using the following films on my MS8: 1. K40: exposure was right (...
