jukka sillanpaa Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) I shot two Super 8 sound sync tests couple month ago. In the first test I used Canon 1014 XL-S with Pedro's R 1008 MD pulse sync-box (1 KHz pulse) and Syncsound-software by Mattias Sandstrom (both of them are writing in filmshooting forum). This combination really works! It keeps the sync all the way without any problem. It was very easy to sync, after I used Syncsound-software. Just put sound and image in the right place. Film stock was K40 and I transfered material digital with my Workprinter. Sound track I recorded with my DAT. Here is the link for R 1008 MD box (price 60 euro). You need Super 8 camera with flash-socket. Note: you can you that box in both digital and traditional-projects. And you can use it even with Leicina Super/Super RT and Special-cameras (without their ST-1 box) buying also Leicina adapter from Pedro. The product page: http://www.super8sync.com/English/R1008MD.html The main page: http://www.super8sync.com/English/home_e.html The Soudsync-software is in beta-way, you can get it for test contacting Mattias Sandstrom: http://www.filmshooting.com/scripts/forum/...iewprofile&u=73 Conclusion: You don't need any crystal sync-camera, if you want to make sound synced movie shooting with Super 8. Only camera with flash-socket. Just watch my mpg-file. The second test I shot with same camera in wild-sync way. You can notice after 10 second it will lose the sync. If you shoot only 5-7 second takes, it's ok, but with longer ones there will be serious problems and more hassle etc. http://www.sorb-i-tol.com/SUPER8_SYNC_SOUND_TEST.MPG (Don't bother my Finnish language, just watch the lip sync) Edited January 12, 2005 by jukkasil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeSelinsky Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Film stock was K40 and I transfered material digital with my Workprinter. Sound track I recorded with my DAT.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very interesting! Congrats to the innovators on a good development. Perhaps there will be a method for syncing up the sound to a Super 8 projector - thus doing away with the "bring back the magstripe" demands. I know that my Elmo S8 projector has a pulse output. Btw, what video camera did you use with the workprinter? I noticed a dark frame every now and then, any reason why? - G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I found out how to make this kind of effect during transfer by mistake at the same time! ;) Pedro makes also crystal sync box for Elmo, Bauer and Braun Super 8 projectors, you can use with this pulse-sync box recording to striped Super 8 film your sync sound.
