    Film and the Environment

    in Film Stocks & Processing

    Posted

    Surely, the film industry is not really good for the environment because many chemicals are involved in the whole process. But it's nothing compared to a lot of industries, all the energy that transports need etc, etc...

     

    Sure. That's nothing when compared to many other things

     

    Sometimes you can see that film could be the most environment-friendly product if you look at many modern polluting industries

    no more 64t ?

    in Super-8

    I think there's nothing bad in this for today.

    Or maybe you need the 64T for your 35mm or M-format? :)

     

    Surely there can be a risk of Super-8 E64T discontinuation but I don't think that Super-8 will end on this.

    oh alright, how do i manaully notch it? is there a tutorial or anything that could show me that? and if i didnt notch it would using an 85b filter help?

     

    You have to just break plastic. The filter notch is not ASA speed notch. You don't need an exact actions for this.

     

    If you want to know more about it, please read this page:

    Or just don't break that plastic and use an external filter. Your choice :)

    Hello again

     

    These Canons have a good quality built-in filters. So you can use it without any problems.

    The 7217 200T emulsion is perfect for daylight if you want to go with Kodak color negative.

     

    Wittnerchrome 100D can be bought from Wittner Kinotechnik, Germany (www.wittner-cinetec.com)

    If you want another E100D choice you can get it from Spectra Film & Video in USA. Developing for that is the same that all E-6 films such as E64T. It depends on where you are.

     

    Best regards and good luck

    Shooting Super 8 at 24 fps or 25 fps - help appreciated

    in Super-8

    Posted

    There is absolutely no difference. Do 25 FPS and don't worry about this.

     

    So, as example, I always shot in 24 FPS and then did a 25 FPS transfer on a Rank.

    You can always correct that 'one frame' difference in post if you want

     

    AFAIK, the Nizos are the only cameras that will shoot at 25fps.

     

    And Leicina Special, of course :)

    Canon 1014 xl-s Shutter angel

    I see. Du you thing I can by a ordinare Canon rubber hood 67 mm, like this one:

    Canon rubber hood?

    In the instruction manual I find information about a 67 mm rubber hood and then 72 mm filters. I found a filter kit with ND filter.

     

    I think this should work fine. Maybe you can also look at Tiffen and other supplies of wide-angle hoods.

    what is the canon 1014 xls / 814, 814 xls like

    Hello

    Great cameras and lenses. I have my 1014 XLS since 2007.

    So exact and fast AE cannot be compared to any other Super 8 camera

     

    The lenses on these I think are better than Schneider 6-70 on a most of Beaulieus

     

    You won’t be disappointed with these

     

    Best regards

    Hello everybody

     

    You can see that I'm located in Russia, Krasnoyarsk

    And I filmed some footage in the 'Bobrovy Log' ski resort under -23°C with my Canon 1014 XLS... I never had any problems. That Canon was CLA'd a year ago.

     

    Be sure that you use good quality cells or battery pack and everything will be all right

    New Super 8 footage

    Thanks for your comments

     

    I was impressed by the brightness and vivid colors - has it bean tweaked or saturated in post a lot? It looks almost as though it was shot on negative stock because the shadows are so detailed. I noticed that you were scanning at 25 fps - are you going to add sync sound?

    Very, very nice. Could you tell us a bit more about the technocal aspects of the filming and the telecine?

     

    Hello!

     

    The clip that you've seen is without any saturation in post. I just captured some from the telecine tapes and uploaded it.

    Andec does a beautiful telecine work!

     

    I think that this compressed video doesn't look so good on Vimeo. But You can watch some stills here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34692908@N03/...57612923194527/

     

    The camera was frequently on AE mode.

    Unfortunately I didn't record sync sound with it.

     

    Thanks for watching
