oh yeah, imagine 100t in super8 neg, looks likje we are getting a batch of it in ds8, any takers?

a couple of things, im harassing people into wanting to use double super8 because it makes using super8 neg not only better for mechanical reasons but becasuse itll make the cost of using super8 neg the way it should be...way cheaper than 16mm. those interested in ds8 can email me at bloopoid@yahoo.com and ill ad you to my group. tink about 10 minutes of super8 neg at the cost of a roll of bought and processed 100ft roll of 16mm film. thats cheap

ok, on the stock front im arranging for ds8 stock from kodak. they will ds8 perf any stock i want. i just have to make the minimum order of 50 400ft cans and im just getting enouhg poeple together to break the batch. secondly, im spoken to enough people in the asc in the states and oz and they came to the same conclusion: using high end optics like the zeiss, switar, etc and a fine stock such as 50D or 100T will look spectacular and they beleive it will easily compete with HD and have the organic nature of celluloid. for whoever sais its a minute long burn, you are wrong. with the 100ft load its 5 minutes a side. if you get a camera with the mag its a 20 minute burn, and thats per side. give it a chance, you would be surprised.

just in general, has anybody thought about 2 perf? yes its still being done and there are people that are not only set up for it but the costs can be very low (offer cash for work) www.multivision235.com.au

im wanting to bring as many people as possible to the attention of double super8. it has the potential of being far cheaper than super8, has a proper pressure plate mechanism, the ability of interchangable lenses and easier crystal sync. the modern stocks have finally caught up with the size of the film, especially for commercial productions or low budget projects. using a medium speed 8mm negative transfered to vieo is an amazing sight when using good optics. with the wide gate super8 application, the grain is even tighter. its also a lot cheaper than renting hd cameras or buying equipment that gets outdated as fast as your computer. i know it sounds crazy but its worth looking into for those doing pro work. i have started a web group of people interested in learning about ds8 more. if interested, please go to yahoo groups and join double super8 or email me personally and ill add you on manually bloopoid@yahoo.com
