The clip for the song has been at last officially release so I am reposting the final result. I used the neatvideo denoiser plugin in most of the scenes to great results. Slight color grading with magic bullet but nothing major, colors were vibrant enough to begin with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QV4g4Na3Yo PS. try to watch in 1080p. it makes a difference, as even 720p is heavily compressed

I have a Letus 1st generation 35mm adapter. I removed the flip image mirroring system to make it more compact. Now I have access directly to the grounding glass but there is lot of vignetting and stuff so I will use an achromat. The question is, should I use a 72mm achromat and attach it to the Canon HF10 (37mm) with step up rings, or use a 52mm achromat and use step up rings on both sides? What will give the best results?

I have applied some magic bullet filters but nothing major, colors were more or less as vivid as this. I was really happy with the telecine done by Uppsala Bildteknik.

I recently shot a super8 film for the music track of a local artist. Concept was of a pagan-forest type little story so we shot in the woods over a cold January weekend. The clip was shot with a Nizo S56 using 100D film. The footage was not the best as we run out of time (it was raining/snowing and we had to interrupt shooting) and also the old Nizo was getting stuck (due to cold weather?). It turned out that it was filming at the odd frame rate of 14.5 (was hard to do the lip sync) Anyway, heres the almost finished clip password: snowdraft Let me know what you think

Brilliant work, well done

Has anyone tried using steadicam with Super8. There are some nice options like this some of which are relatively cheap for someone to experiment with. has anyone tried any similar solutions for stabilized shooting?

Well, it is not, I was running Windows with bootcamp and I loaded the script in Virtualdub as usual

I'd say that the scripts takes around 3-4fps to process on an iMac, which means roughly 15 minutes per roll. I have only tried this script with 8mm material but I am planning to do some experimenting with random footage that I get from youtube. its surprising how much better some clips can be

coming back to this old thread with some short film that has been "restored" with the avisynth script. pretty good results ORIGINAL RESTORED

the Putte script for avisynth is truly amazing! You can do a lot of fine tuning depending on the material you have to work on each time but even with the ready-made script the results are stunning. I am sure better results can be achieved if there is time to test different settings of the script. its amazing how much information is revived! this one looks less grainy when it is actually playing, but still could be denoised a bit with some tweaking.

I dont think that necessarily there has to be movement. I very much like the effect and feeling that the static shooting of those locations gives.

it looks very good. nice selection of images. i could easily imagine that as the intro/start titles for some movie

i am not really talking about the colors when comparing those two labs. i am satisfied with the results of the first when it come to colors, and they can be slightly corrected in final cut afterwards as well. the very weird thing though is the abrupt fading, why you think this might have happened? thanks

I got my first test roll few days back processed and transferred to miniDV by bluecinetech in london. I took the film for telecine to a local 'lab' which would do it for a really cheap rate just to check out if the quality was passable. https://download.yousendit.com/dVlvUGhld0FZY1NGa1E9PQ On that link you will find the same clips of work of both labs. 1 is bluecinetech and 2 the local guy. As you can see 1 is much sharper and looks better in general. 2 has washed out colors and most importantly at very bright scenes in the middle of the frame the colors are 'burned' because of the lamp which looks very poor (see 1'40"). I think that this guy might as well just capture from a wall projection. In case that helps understanding his technique the very first 1-2 seconds (before the butterfly scene) at the first clip are from the telecine of 2nd lab that got into the first clip by mistake. However 2 feels sometimes smoother. For example check the fade in/out test at 1'05". On number 2 is very smooth when on 1 looks abrupt. Why you think this might have happened? I would also like your opinions on the processing which for me looks ok, not many stains, dust, etc. what do you think?

thanks for the quick reply. i guess that yes, a cheaper processing might mean 'dirtier' results when it comes to the physical form of the film. if i understood well though, a cheaper processing cannot really affect drastically the actual quality of the material such as sharpness, colors, etc, right?
