marc barbé Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 How would I add grain? Are there other ways than underexposing and push processing? thanks Use the right stock. Grain can't be added lest it looks like poop. Grain is within. Regards, Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collier Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 under expose and print up. That always adds a fair bit of grain. On the plus side that will also hold the texture of the snow a bit better. you might also try pushing the stock, but I think careful underexposure will give you the effect your looking for, without the added cost of pushing.

Joshua Dannais Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Super 8 was an option... but it would mean finding a super 8 camera and I've heard that processing super 8 is more expensive to transfer or harder to find a place that does it. I own a NPR already so all we need is stock, I like working with 16 as well. How would grain be added in the transfer? We're going to shoot some tests next week, I'll try the underexposure. thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Most telecine's, such as the DaVinci, has a grain reduction feature that does a pretty good job. All they have to do is remove the grain reduction so you'll see your grainy image as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted December 12, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted December 12, 2007 Super 8 processing is actually less than 16mm (makes sense). And transfer of Super 8 is generally the same price on the same Rank machines at 16/35. Problem is finding a telecine with a Super 8 gate... not too many out there. If you have an NPR and you're comfortable with it, go for it! If you want lots of grain, try to find some old Vision 800T stock... it gives a whole new meaning to the word "grain."

Joshua Dannais Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I knew it was something about super 8 being more work than 16... Thanks for all the input, if the project goes through I'll post some footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hepburn Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This might not be an option that you want to use, but if you're going to have it scanned, you can add grain in a number of software programs (aftereffects, Final cut pro, or even Imovie). Pro- you can control just how much grain you want. Con- if you're a purist, the grain isn't really coming from the film T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted December 14, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted December 14, 2007 You could try a really grainy black & white stock too... Double-X negative is pretty grainy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Dannais Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks Tim, but I want to do everything in camera and by stock selection. Will, I'm going to look into the double-x negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
