Yeah, that was the one I watched today. It seems like quite a straightforward process, which is certainly not a bad thing! :D Thanks for all the help again!

Thanks again! I've been unsure as to what a spool actually is for a while, but I finally understand now that you've said. :) I also watched a detailed video on YouTube, which shows the process of loading a K-3. That clarified some things too. Oh, and cheers for the link to the iLab site. I bookmarked it, so I can contact them once I've shot some things. Is that where your YouTube footage was developed?

Thank you for all the help guys! Love this place. B) @Ian Cooper: I just checked out a bunch of your YouTube videos and they're pretty good. I like the warm colours on some of them, which is one of the many reasons I'm deciding to shoot on 16mm. I'd probably want to shoot on Reversal first, seeing as it's cheaper and I'm obviously far from experienced with film, so I won't get into Negative straight away. Would it be fine if I bought this stock, and have the footage transferred from this website? They seem to offer a good service.

Cheers man! So basically, the flashes mark a new take? For example, I record a chair, stop and record a wall. When played back I get the chair, followed by a flash transition to the wall? That's all I need to do? As for the burn effect, I was referring to the red and yellow 'flames' that overlap the image. I think it's called a light leak? I have lots of stock footage for this anyway, so I could always add the effect in post. Also, one final question that seemed to slip my mind. How do I film in different framerates? Would it be possible to film in 48fps on the K3?

Wow, thanks guys! I really appreciate you taking your time to write all of that. :) A few more things I'd like to know, if you wouldn't mind: How are film burns achieved? (The reddish/yellow flame effect. My guess is that it has something to do in the telecine process? Exposing light to the film, perhaps?) How are film flashes achieved? (The quick white flash transition. I can do this in post, but legit flashes actually seem visually appealing.) What is the 16mm camera alternative to a record button on a digital camcorder? Is it a trigger? How would I know when the camera is recording? Thanks!

Hello, After watching a bunch of videos filmed in 16mm, I must say, I'm really interested in shooting the format. Problem being, I'm a complete noob, not only with 16mm, but with film altogether. I've thought about getting a Krasnogorsk 3 off eBay, seeing as they're cheap and seem to be high in availability, but if I had the camera, I wouldn't know where to start. Basically, I'd appreciate it if someone could inform me of the process of filming something, transferring it (telecine I believe it's called), where I could get film and anything else that you think would be useful. Perhaps someone knows a website or article that could help me? Thanks in advance!
