New Super-8 music video with 100% analog visuals
Samuel Berger replied to Erren Franklin's topic in Super-8
I really liked it, it was very nostalgic for me as it's what I used to make in the 80's. -
Movies with peculiar bokeh?
Samuel Berger replied to silvan schnelli's topic in Lenses & Lens Accessories
I remember the episode of The Rifleman where Mark drinks contaminated water and has a fever dream. The dream sequences utilized the same glittery effects. I've often wondered if they consulted with the cinematographer from Midsummer Night's Dream. I recently found it again on YouTube and I guess I just remembered it wrong for years. The episode is not nearly as expressionistic. -
You might not like my advice because it's not on your list: Eclair CM3. They're cheap but great. I just missed out on one that Richard at Cinema Gear sold for $4000 including tripod! Other than that, I agree with others that 16mm is the way to go. I don't think movie theatres even have 35mm projectors any more.

Unrelated, but, I sent you a DM.

That would be the awesome people at https://www.cinelab.com/pricing Check the pro rate card for E6 35mm.
-
I sure will, was this on eBay?
-
Printing from negative? The only alternative is to shoot reversal, but then you're handling your camera positive every step of the way instead of a workprint. The other thing is, if you're shooting 35mm, how many venues actually still have 35mm projectors?

I'm mostly interested in the notch hack, now. I gotta look into the details of this!

If you watch the video you linked, at 6:23 this rule is inverted. The truck stop hookers are framed wider than the officer.

Blue Screen vs. Green Screen
Samuel Berger replied to Thomas Chaves's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
The 3rd season looked awful. It was shot on the HDW-F700 and then HDW-F900. But here's the thing, it didn't look AS terrible to me at the time. But, that was because back then in 1999-2001 most people had CRT TVs and they were not HD. Watching the clips on YouTube now I see just how bad it looked. -
I noticed, when re-inserting the cartridge, that the door struggled a bit to lock up. Then I pushed the film into the camera and I heard a clicking sound of the cartridge settling into place. Now I know to watch out for that. I'm going there in two weeks again, next time with the Nikon R10. I'll be sending my film to Cinelab for a transfer.
-
I ran into an unexpected problem. I noticed my second cartridge never got to the "EXPOSED" tag. It turned out that the cart had not been pushed in far enough and so I thought I was filming when I really wasn't. Sad.
-
I have that manual, it doesn't assume the existence of daylight film. Some cameras did and in fact "knew" when daylight film was loaded. I'm not sure if this camera does that.

I took the Elmo Super 110 with me today to Six Flags. I had a roll of 50D and one of 200T. I hadn't used it in many years. This may sound a bit odd, but, I totally forgot when to use the filter key. If I remember correctly, the only time I need to put it on the front slot is when using Tungsten film indoors. It ocurred to me now that maybe I was supposed to have placed it in the forward position with the 50D. Luckily I can grade it in post if it's wrong. But what is the right way? @Mark Dunn
