Martin Yernazian Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I still need to see that Film, they todld me is stupid but well is good for the eye education, just saw the Motorcicle diaries... you know it has a great feel of 35 to it . Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects was shot in super 16. I like good exploitation films, but this wasn't one of them. The script (esp. dialog) was amateurish, and that "Freebird" ending was totally self indulgent. --But the images are nice and gritty, works for the subject matter. There was a Liv Tyler horror film shooting near here, The Strangers, I heard it was super 16. http://imdb.com/title/tt0482606/ There should be more lower budget super 16 releases in multiplexes. That way you could have more films with obscure tastes that could still make a profit. Big budgets usually equal trying to please all audiences, which makes for dull, watered-down ideas. :angry: Correction: Forgot to enter, that Bully was shot on **35mm**, 800T, 5289 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Fettig Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The low low low budget stuff is often R16. El Mariachi (dir. Robert Rodriguez) and Following (dir. Christopher Nolan) are good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Velez Jr Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Thanks Zac, I am more interested in R16 movies are there any more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hadfield Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Thanks Zac, I am more interested in R16 movies are there any more ? "Breathless" was shot on regular 16mm. It was also dubbed because the camera was too loud. http://www.amazon.com/Breathless-Criterion-Collection-Jean-Paul-Belmondo/dp/B000TXNDUW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 14, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 14, 2013 Coutard: "I'm aware now that what we made was iconic, but at the time no. I used a Caméflex Éclair 35mm camera and they always say oh, handheld photography. Its true that it was light and easy to move and reload quickly but it made one hell of a noise. I still have that terrible din in my ears. Do I still have the camera that captured those iconic shots? No, no, no. It was a cheap movie. We hired the camera and had to give it back." http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/jun/06/raoul-coutard-jean-luc-godard-breathless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 15, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 Also I recall reading once about Godard doing some night shots in "Breathless" on fast b&w 35mm Ilford still film (I think) and having to splice it into longer rolls for the camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bartok Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Blue Valentine Directed by Derek Cianfrance, All the flash backs were shot on Super 16mm Vision 3 and 2 stocks, and the present on RED ONE. I personally think it has great cinematography especially the filmic looks and handheld, all the present shot on teles, and only a 25mm for the past. Only used one light the whole film a 6K Watch on Bluray to see the beautiful grain also was kept in the original aspect ratio 1.66:1 which is a bit different, Funny sidenote: "The cinematographer burned through 400-foot rolls of 16mm stock at an incredible rate, exposing 9,000 feet (approximately three hours, 45 minutes) in a single day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Zimmerman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) The rich colors and contrast of film has a look all its own. I did a custom search for 16mm films on Blu Ray. Some of these are regular 16, but these were the films I thought had the best looking stills. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews44/pride_and_prejudice_blu-ray.htm http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-ray_reviews51/dog_soldiers_blu-ray.htm http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdreviews10/gimme_shelter_.htm http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews57/the_tempest_blu-ray.htm http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-ray_reviews51/the_square_blu-ray.htm http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews45/the_key.htm Edited August 1, 2013 by Steve Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Zimmerman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Double checked all my links, the last one, "The Key" was 35. I can only edit two times? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Black Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Supplements include a trailer and three creative short films by Jarman in 1080i: ''A Journey To Avebury'', ''Garden Of Luxor'' and ''Art Of Mirrors'' running about 25-minutes in total. These are of the student-experimental variety - few constraints - and the director's fans will appreciate. YIKES! It's ironic as I was thinking looking at the stills, that I was sure I had seen Dereks Jarmans the Tempest but don't remember any of the scenes the stills are from. I seem to remember a musical extravaganza involving sailors and a lot of colourful costumes towards the end tho. Maybe I fell asleep through some of it??? "The Art of Mirrors" OTOH is burned into my mind and is a very influential film. The other two to a lesser extent also, I seem to remember "A Journey to Avebury" has a coil soundtrack but I prefer the Garden of Luxor. I honestly thought that Derek Jarman was fairly well respected these days and it was mostly just Sally Potter who was getting the stick still out of that gang of experimental rogues. Anyway it's a shame they don't show any stills from the extras other than the titles which are meaningless. It would be interesting to see if they have nicer transfers from the Super8 originals or not. They might look a bit strange with new super transfers but it would be interesting to see. Was thinking that it was a cool blu-ray just for the extras! Well that comment has officially blown my mind for today!

Steve Zimmerman Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Another good looking Super 16 film I found is The Jeffrey Dahmer Files. There is an HD trailer above, and some 1080 stills online, but I was never released on blu ray :-(. My Netflix streaming is too slow to see it there in HD.

Philip Kral Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've always been impressed with The Rum Diary as far as what they did with Super16mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Zimmerman Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Rum Diary looked nice and sharp with fine grain (Zeiss Ultra Primes help). The problem I have with that one and The Paperboy (also S16), was the color grading which really dimmed the brightness for the image for the entire movie. This was distracting for these movies because they were set in sunny locations like Louisiana, and a tropical island! Even correctly dingy Blade Runner had bright highlights for contrast. Guess it's a matter of taste. Edited August 12, 2013 by Steve Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nethery Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I believe the Whit Stillman film "Metropolitan" was shot on Super 16. (did someone already mention that one ?) http://www.criterion.com/films/774-metropolitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Freden Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes, Iluis! The Draughtsman's Contract (1983) is a masterpiece! I seem to remember that it was the very first full-length feature film where the Super16 format was used to shoot the actual scenes, which were then subsequently blown up optically and printed to 35mm release prints. The dynamic photo (with many central perspectives), sparse lighting and color saturation of this film really brings you back to the murky 17th century (indoors). I have it on DVD and I watch it now and then, for the beauty of it. I consider, by the way, the 1.66 : 1 ratio format as being one of the most beautiful - it is very proportionate and picturesque. Super16 was, as everybody knows, of course, first invented by Swedish DP Rune Ericson in 1969, for the Aäton 16mm sync sound cameras developed by Jean-Pierre Beauviala.All the best, Bengt in Stockholm :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Zimmerman Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I emailed the DP for The Jeffrey Dahmer Files a couple times. He said all the interviews were RED camera. The reenactment stuff was mostly Vision2 S16mm. He said the Vision3 they used later was much less grainy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
