how is the vision3 500t super8? have any uploaded footage? im not sure if this stock will meter correctly with a nizo 801 or canon 1014 xls, anyone know??

dont get me wrong i understand what your saying. i also agree with the fact that you will probably learn more about film as a format by starting with super16. i got introduced to, and started with super8, and i'll be honest, i'm very glad i did. i think if i started with 16, super8 wouldnt have had the effect on me as it did. it was the first film i was introduced to and have loved it ever since. i prefer super16 on a proffesional basis for obvious reasons, but for personal use, its super8 all the way for me.

i dont know. i dont think of it like that, theres not really alot of point in comparing super8 and super16 prices. 2 different formats for 2 very different outcomes. depends what you prefer. you can never really compare price on it.

i keep all my super8 in the fridge, some has been there since even last summer. i take the film out of the fridge and wait 45 minutes before putting it in the camera. wonder if this is why i get an unsteady image with lost of jitter?

thanks for the screenshots

good idea would to be to ring the closest lab to you, be polite and ask if they have any for free, might even pay the postage too.

saw this yesterday before your post, really enjoyed it. well shot, especially for a first time super8er, and nice editing. take it you used the tri-x for the indoor stuff and plus-x for the outdoor?? tom

offtopic but where do you get this super16 done 40% cheaper? i recently paid £199 for 3 X 400ft rolls from kodak, and have been quoted 21p per foot for process and telecine by a lab in the uk.

nice to get a reply from someone from SFL, i have a few questions as i couldnt find alot on the website. do you have a price list for super 8 stock, process and telecine? i am really interested in the quick turnaround time i have heard about, would it be possible to buy reversal stock from you, and have it processes and telecine if i send it from plymouth, in say, under 2 weeks? can you also to telecine to a memory stick instead of a minidv tape, if we provide it? thanks tom

i wouldnt say the super 8 in the perfume ad was rotten, was good for the ad, shame it was a shitty ad. i really hate that woman, and i have no idea why.

sounds great, got any uploaded footage?

looks great, what stock did you use? 200t? speaking of super 8 ads, i saw one with sarah jessica parkers stinking perfume on tv today.

thanks for the reply. i plan to overexpose about 1/3rd of a stop depending on lighting situations. would this be reccomended for both 200t and 500t? thanks again for any help.

faulty but NOT broken, braun nizo 801 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=120393020076

shooting only my second super 16mm short beginning of april with an arri sr2, just ordered the stock from kodak, will be shooting 800ft of vision2 200t for daylight exterior and interior, and 400ft of vision3 500t for nighttime exterior and interior. any reccomendations on how i should rate these stocks? (i will be using a sekonic l-358 lightmeter). read somewhere its a good idea to overexpose some negative by 1/3 of a stop? good idea? any other tips?
