  1. Auto Cameras will read Ektachrome 100D just fine. Manual Exposure cameras need adjusted. Watch here:
  2. Hi, I'm fairly new to the Super 8mm format. I've only shot color neg and b&w reversal, telecined on a Rank at Spectra. I've noticed that in many Super 8mm films, there is an effect where the film briefly turns reddish, yet not at full opacity. You can still see the footage as the reddish look dreamily passes over the screen and then vanishes just as quickly as it appeared. Almost like it was overexposed. An example of what I'm talking about appears at the start of the movie "The Game" which has about 2 minutes of Super 8 footage, seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGPix7kXwsY...feature=related I find this effect desirable as it lends to the imperfection look of the format. What causes this to occur? Also in the footage above there is some flicker, so I'm wondering if this was telecined using the film-chain technique? Perhaps this look is a result of the film-chain method??
  3. I've read some of the sync sound topics on the forum, and I think I know the best option for syncing sound in my situation, but I'm clueless on how to implement the strategy. [/left]I own a Canon 814 XL-S. I shoot weddings with it. I need a simple, economical way to record audio during the ceremony vows, as well as during the reception speeches. I never do longer than 15 second takes, rarely more than 10 seconds to be honest. I always shoot at 18 fps, but from what I've read so far it looks like for the carts where I need audio recorded and dubbed in during post, I'll have to set the cam to 24 fps. So...first, what type of digital audio recorder device should I use. I'm aware that some of my "Super 8 Wedding" colleges use DAT recorders. But haven't these been discontinued / no longer manufactured? Are there better, cheaper devices available for my purposes? Second, is there a way for me to connect the DAT recorder (or whatever digital audio device you guys recommend) to the PA system. Typically there would be a mic that the wedding officiant uses for the bride and groom vows. And of course at the reception toasts are given using a mic. So to tie into the DJ's system is really the only way. I can't spend time micing everyone who intends to give a toast! Third, what will my post workflow be like when adding sound to the footage. Remember, only select moments from the vows and speeches will be added and any takes during filming will be 15 seconds or less. I'm pretty sure that a crystal sync will NOT be necessary in my situation. Keep in mind that I'm fairly clueless on all this so please be specific in you instructions.
