Hi Any chance you could pm me when you have viewable pictures - like the others I can't see the picture

Really good, I like the tension between the two characters in the context of the relentless 'on going' work. There are really great opportunities for the sound design which (with the music) will make this film come alive. I hope you have good foley artist/s on hand also hope you recorded some nice atmos at the location. Looking forward to the finished article. Also really good to see someone using super 8 to tell a story, i think its probably more suitable to this story than any other format would be.

Hi Does anyone have experience or a manual to take apart any of the Zeiss moviflex super 8 camera's ? Or could anyone direct to buying a service manual for these camera's. I have 2 GS8 synchron, 1 GS8 and 1 S8 all in various working states. I would like to get the synchrons fully working and also to try and put the S8 lens on a GS8 syncron body. Also would like to try and convert to manual exposure if possible. The images i have gotten from the S8 and with the S8 and my Iscorama 54 are great and i would like to get my synchron's fully working to use with my nagra III (i also have the rare sync cable for this purpose). Thanks for any help in advance

Soho film labs only process film purchased from them ( at least thats what they told me). If price is a consideration then go to Andec, direct (quickest) or through the Widescreen centre .

Thanks for the info Aaniel i pm'd Alan about the 25fps crystal.

Hi I realize this is 3 years after you made this post but did you ever make any of these crystal sync kits for the Nizo 4080/6080 ?

Love this night time footage the colours are great, can really see this finer grain thing as well. Im buying 3 carts tomorrow ! Respect for being one of the first on the net with shots from super 8 V3 500t.

Yes Marc your right hobbyist/perfectionist's - Fred - seem to be able to take super 8 to the next level - better than most commercial transfers I have seen and received. I was just amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the footage and also the lack of grain. Thanks for all of the input, it all seems relevant and constructive. Im just gonna have to work alot harder on my own stuff .

I just wanted to post this link http://www.vimeo.com/1644000 and ask why many of the DIY super 8 telecine systems seem to produce results far superior to many of the commercial transfers I have seen. I realize this is K40 and it shows far less grain than many of the newer stocks but I still think the difference is so great that its worth commenting on. The example i posted also gives much more credibility to using super 8 instead of 16mm for low budget shorts.

I was impressed with how the dialogue stayed in sync did you have to break it down line by line or just pull up a couple of times when it went out ? Also the motion looked really good at 18fps which suprised me because ive been drilled from film school to 24fps or 25fps and usually i can notice 18fps.

Just found them again - must have been an old link i was trying to use

Thanks for the great links - are these cokin type filter holders much better than the screw on photographic types ? - obviously they are easier and quicker to change and like you say all of the shoots i work on(sound recordist) the cameras have these type on the matte box.

Hi i shot some super 8 footage with 200T and an 85b filter on a Nizo 4080 - I was very happy with the results apart from the sky being over exposed ( )- flagged up as too much luminance on final cut pro. Will an ND filter of some type help out or is there some other way ? Also I use the wide angle atatchment alot on the same camera (over 100mm diameter)- does anyone know of a suitable matte box or a diy solution - as much as i like lens flare i could do without it alot of the time.

Hi Ive been trying to get to the Film groups site because i need to get crystal sync for my Nizo 4080. I cant get to their webpage can anyone confirm weather they are still in business or not - also is there anywhere else i can get a crystal sync mod @ 25fps for my nizo ? (desperate for the mod -in the UK would be good) Thanks Lisala
