I see that kind of lines in footage that comes out of a telecine, but never from a scanner. First. Are you sure that your films runs a scanner and not a telecine?

Hi!! Here is my small black and white stock ready to be shoot. 5600 ft!! As you can see it's a mixed stock, all expired. I've already shot RAR2496, Regiscope and Tri-X with good results. Don't know what could happen with Perutz, Orwo, Svema, Dupont, Tasma or with the oldest one Agfa Wolfen Ultra rapid. You think its crazy to ask the lab 1 stop push with this old stocks? Have you ever use any of this stocks? Any suggestion? Bests!! Andrés

Seems that you don't have the RED codec updated in your mac/pc. Something like that happens to me and downloading the last driver was the solution. Hope it helps!

Send to Film rescue international. I sent time ago a roll like the one you describe and they rescue some images, do not send to other lab than fri!!

As far as I know Kodak RAR 16mm film is a B&W infrared film supposed for aerial photography. Bests!!

Thanks Steve! Glad you like it. Bests!!

Bill, thanks for your lines! I had one diva light on the side, just because the "Minutera" camera needs for exposure. I think about festivals, but the true is that I shot just for the joy of doing it, to have some fun shooting super 8, that I love and wanna keep doing it. Bests!!

Hi guys, I want to share with you my last documentary short, shot on tri-x super 8. MINUTERA Minutera is a reflection about photography, about what we lost. vimeo.com/k3films/minutera Enjoy!

Hi! Ask Olex about this camera, he knows everything about soviet film cameras https://sites.google.com/site/olexserviceskonvas/home

Give a try to Neat: http://www.neatvideo.com/download.html Its for digital video but I tested it with iflm and works good to. Bests!

Thanx Will and David!

Hi! Im collecting stock for a new project that will be B&W. Most of the stock I have is 16mm color. Im not a DP by the way. When im start shooting B&W super8 I remember using a yellow filter to "add constrast". Because the final result will be B&W I need to consider some camera filetring? To have better results when turning color to B&W. Because of the low budget the stock will be transfered directly to HD Pro Res, no grading at that step. Bests! Andrés

I was doing some research trying to date the can. Jörg says that could be 1954-64. Wikipedia says the following, interesting part of history brings thta can. On 20 April 1945, following the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, the plant was taken over by US forces and important patents and other documents regarding the Agfacolor process were confiscated and handed over to Western competitors, such as Kodak and Ilford. As the plant was located in what was to become the Soviet zone of occupied Germany, the US forces then handed it over to the Soviet military administration, which dismantled large parts of the plant and moved it, with key German staff, to the Soviet Union, where it formed the basis for the Soviet colour film industry. In 1953 the plant became the property of East Germany, and in a trade agreement settlement, the East German company, VEB Film- und Chemiefaserwerk Agfa Wolfen, was given the right to sell its products under the Agfa brand in Eastern Europe, while the newly re-established Agfa in West German Leverkusen had the right to the name in the rest of the world. As the trade agreement seriously hampered the East German company's abilities to sell in the West, the ORWO trademark (for Original Wolfen) was introduced in 1964. ORWO branded 35mm colour slide film became available in the United Kingdom in the 1970s through magazine advertisements for mail order suppliers. It was a cheaper alternative to the mainstream brands available at the time. Following the merger of East Germany and West Germany, the company was privatised in 1990. After two bankruptcies, a new company, FilmoTec GmbH, was formed in 1998, which continues to manufacture a reduced range of former ORWO products, specialising in cine film. Some products are re-branded and sold by Maco. The cellulose triacetate base manufacturing plant of ORWO was sold to Island Pyrochemical Industries, Mineola, NY. The new company, located in the Chemiepark, Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany, produces high quality TAC (triacetyl cellulose, aka cellulose triacetate) for the LCD polarizer market and the polarized sunglasses market.

Hi Dirk! Will take your advice and expose at 64. Its gonna be an experiment so i dont care about fog or gamma rays or fungus. I think we must expose any stock before all labs are gone :] Bests!

Hi!! The alpha has a crystal element before the shutter so no lens will hit it. I use both Kievs, Alpha, 16U and 16E. Are like K3 as you said. Here is some footage with alpha camera and infrared film: And that is with K3 and Kiev 16: Kievs are nice toy cameras :] Bests!!

Thanx guys for all the info! Im gonna shoot it and let you know the results. I will shot with my Kinor. If its 240 ASA i think i will be exposing at 120 ASA under bright sun. Will try at least 3 different exposures to compare results. I will need to think in a LAB for processing it. I usaully use Film Rescue International for that kind of old film. Any other recomendation for LAB?

Hi guys!! Any info on the film below? I understand its panchromatic. Dont know why must be opened in green light. My main interes is knowing the ASA rate to shoot it, any clue? pic: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75924922/2013-12-18%2019.08.23.jpg Bests!! Andrés México City

I used to use bleach from minilab and then after the 2nd exposure the second developer i use dektol 1/5 and that was the result:

You must shot a square and the in post you swuezze the frame to have a perfect square you can compare with guides or something like that. that way youre gonna have the perfect distortion. Bests!

Maybe: http://www.k3camera.com/ or try to find Olex Kalynychenco on the forum and aski him if he can do that, he is the best! Bye! a

Hi! Because super 8 is not crystal sync the best way i found is to have a slate clap at the beginning and a slate at the end of the shot, that way you could fix the super 8 lack of constant speed changing the image speed or audio. Bests! A

Looking for Larisa borns from two thousand feet of super 8 family films dating from 1970 to 1980 whiches include part of the childhood of Larisa, a little blonde girl, friendly, funny and very expressive in front of his dad's camera which during these years witnessed the life of his family, travels, work days, birthdays and other family events. Nearly 30 years after that, Andrés Pardo (aka General Treegan) purchase at a flea market in Mexico City those rolls. After projecting them he found part of the history of a family who for some reason get rid of his memories. Not understanding why someone throw his history and let it be sold to a stranger, he decides with his friend and cinematographer Santiago Cassarino begin a documentary project in search of Larisa and responses. www.buscandoalarisa.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Buscando-a-Larisa-Looking-for-Larisa/171442369549623

Why are you sure that is not camera? if not you could shake it with 3 simple keyframes in after effects, or even fcp. arent complicated shakes
