I have a few and they work very well. I dunno however where to get s8 film on core, what I am doing, I use foma DS8 (www.jandcphoto.com) and split it before loading the cartridge. Doing this, you have 2x 10m cartridges for US8.99$.

please check my website: http://jcsmr.anu.edu.au/~rleao/ there you'll find the interface and software I use my laptop to record sound but just with the 'ON' pilot signal from my kinor. However, I am half-way in recording also the time info from the pilot signal.

as I said, i am not in stockholm yet, but it would be nice to keep in contact. My email is: narigas-2006@bol.com.br I currently use a kinor 16sx and a k3 both regular but i'll convert my k3 once i finish my last project. Would you guys know if there are buyback shops in sweden (where you can buy cheaply leftover stock from large productions)? Also, if you use BW, I strongly recommend Orwo stocks. It costs ~70E for 400ft and it'ss very pretty.

Hi all, I just had an idea that's a kind of old concept... I will be moving to Stockholm next year and I thought about getting a group of people with simillar interests and start a kind of film society/co-op over there. Basically that would be to share costs of freight when buying film, negotiate film stock by placing large orders and ultimately acquire a telecine equip for som transfer needs. We could also do in-house processing and things like that, depending on the number. Anyway, if there's anybody interested... let me know.

I have developed old ORWO negatives (NP7) using the old TRI-X processing. It is very similar. The 400ISO require longer 1st developer times.

Normal BW process. I do it at home but it's the same as for kodak 7222 or 7231 using kodak bw developer.

Hi all, would anybody know what kind of stock was used in children of men? Cheers

let me know if you're willing to sell spares

ORWO (www.dacan.dk or http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/) has 400 and 100 ISO BW negs. Very nice stocks.

fabulous

thanks Dominic! And I agree... Anyway, what I was refering to was how hard (before the developing) it was to get the jetlayer off...

thanks all for the answers and after rebleaching it was all good. but what a pain to take the carbon layer!

I agree about the science and technology behind film but what I meant, I develop my own negs (or reversals) according to the mood I want in certain scenes. The final result is more unpredictable and experimental than simply adding whitenoise to digital stuff or using math algorithms to get different looks at the scene. While I cannot make film, I can mix the processing chemicals myself to obtain the kind of effect I want, and I think this is also part of the filming process.

Hi, I have developed BW and color 16mm negs and I want to have them telecined. As most of the labs charge for swaping reels, I want to splice the negs together. So, Can I splice BW and color negs for telecine? Many thanks.

Hi, i hae developed some test stripes of kodak negs using c41 and there was some blueish aspect in some parts (while others were fine) that made the negative very dense. Would it be because little bleaching? Also, could I re-bleach it (I am using tenetal kit that has a bleach/fix together). The kit also has a 'stabiliser', I presume I sshould not use it untill all the bleach was done. Thanks for any help.

Hey, do in super8. Check my wedding video on my website (it's compacted and low quality for the download but I love the look): http://jcsmr.anu.edu.au/~rleao/ also, s8 cameras can be bought very cheap in ebay

You could check with Olexandr. He modified my Kinor from 25fps to 6 speeds 48, 32, 24, 16... He's in Ukraine but I guess his price will compensate for the postage if you compare to US prices.

I particularly think that if one considers cinematography an art, when you film in digital, the artistic creation finishes at the acting and scriptwriting. Everything else after are mathmatical algorythms. So, unless the producer/director is also a programer, every postproduction aspect of the film is machine-made, that's it. So, in my opinion, crapy stuff (e.g. rambo, miami vice etc) are OK to be digital, i am sure nobody is really paying attention on the photography when they watch those, but then, I would never watch the motorcycle diaries with the same passion as I did if it was done in digital. I am currently working in a 16mm project which the vision of two characters differ in color style (sometimes BW, sometimes color) and the one's that sees BW coloured his world according to his immagination, and for that I cross-process ektachrome (c41) and I tried different contrasts and film-stocks to pass the mood of a given scene. I consider all the postprocessing as part of the cinematography. Off course I could use some software made by some nerd that loves britney spears and mcdonalds to do similar effects, but ssomehow, I dunno if I could rest my head on a pillow knowing that my ideas were only possible to render because of some binary magician.

i know the negatives were developed by a place called megacolor, and the credits only have brazilian names, so I presume somewhere in brazil.

I could not find 16mm negs for luckyfilm but they do positives. I still did not get any reply from the russian tasma. Just another info, foma can be bought in the US from www.jandcphoto.com (~25USD for 100ft daylight spools) Orwo can be bought in Europe from www.dacan.dk or www.wittner-kinotechnik.de (~70E for 400ft) I could not find 16mm negs for luckyfilm but they do positives.

I dunno if it would be the same, but I developed NP7 negatives as reversal with reasonable quality. The recipe: kodak d19 + 9g of sodium tiocyanate (optional) - in 1L. @22-23C - 4-5 min, bleach 5min clearing 5min rexposure 4min kodak d19 (no silver solvent) - 5min fixer

thanks for the tips. Svema does not produce 16mm anymore. I am still waiting for lucki film and Tasma reply to see if they do.

Hi, I want to compile a list of makers of 16mm film. Could anyone that knows any other maker share the info? The ones I know of: Kodak: color/bw reversal/negative (www.kodak.com) Fuji: Color Negative (www.fujifilm.com) Orwo: BW negative - can be developed reversal (www.filmotec.de) Foma: BW reversal (www.foma.cz) cheers

If anyone has a spare one, willing to sell please let me know.

All the best with the recovery and hope you are in good medical hands.
