Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted April 18, 2020 Premium Member Posted April 18, 2020 Stanislav, the Parvo of Jules Debrie and son was conceived in 1906-07, patent application in 1908. Bell & Howell Co.’s Eyemo came out in 1925. The ARRIFLEX was made public in 1937, first examples sold in 1938. Although a certain relation with warfare is obvious, the motion-picture camera’s development is civilian. We should very much like to read about civilian filmmaking in Novosibirsk. I remember a short you have made with your Parvo. It would be fascinating to see things about permafrost and what happens to the soil during summer.

Stanislav Schubert Posted December 10, 2020 Author Posted December 10, 2020 The Infantry. Realistic WW2 war reel, shot on film, in 2020. This reel was shot entirely on 35 mm film using Eyemo (KS-50) movie cameras during the Great Patriotic War in Novosibirsk, in 2020. First-person perspective - this was the task set by the project participants. Creating the image of an infantryman, we relied on the memoirs of veterans, memoirs and fiction, archival materials. Show the war through the eyes of an ordinary soldier: a guy from our city, from the next street, from our yard. He saw his comrades die before his eyes, hunger and cold, wounds passed, and then the hospital and returned to the front again. The movie camera became a conditional participant in the events, capturing what a real infantryman of the Great Patriotic War could see. Author and director: Evgeniya Tsveklinskaya. Operators: Anatoly Antonov and Stanislav Schubert Editing: Artyom Perevalov Creative associations "Photokory" and "Kinosibirsk", with the support of "Sibpatriocenter" and the "Constellation" film company. The project was attended by representatives of the regional branch of the OOD "Rosrekon": the military-historical clubs "Living History", "Generation", "Sturmovik", and "Heritage". Film scanning: GBUK "Novosibirskkinovideoprokat" Song from the film "Shield and Sword", music by V. Basner, lyrics by M. Matusovsky.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted December 29, 2020 Premium Member Posted December 29, 2020 Great shots. Fun that these cameras can still make wonderful images all these years later...I still love using my Eyemo whenever I can. And they would make great weapons in war too...heavy steel! https://vimeo.com/16430701

Забавно, что эти камеры все еще могут делать прекрасные снимки даже спустя годы ... Я все еще люблю использовать свой Eyemo, когда могу. И они тоже сделают отличное оружие на войне ... тяжелая сталь! https://vimeo.com/16430701 You have excellent quality. Have you developed and scanned in a specialized laboratory or manually?

In the hand scanning/hand processing, it's both a mix of flickering camera and processing issues. 35mm film looks perfect when shot, processed and transferred properly.

Scanned on a Spirit Telecine. Edited March 1, 2021 by Will Montgomery
