  4. pretty cool idea please share your work when your done. I am pretty curious to see how it turns out.
  5. There is another one for 25 thousand online Stone Cine I believe is selling it looks nice if thats your thing
  6. Thanks Simon. I am loving your posts. please keep experimenting and sharing your exciting results. You should start a blog about it, and go into further detail. I am intrigued by your developing methods and the results. Keep up the excellent work! You have an audience
  7. There is also the Canon Scoopic which is totally easy to use and can be made crystal sync. I would get either an M or MS. Very good camera the M and MS versions.
  8. I would go with the spring wound one, yes it can be annoying but the wind up cameras can last longer than the electronics and like it was mentioned before, you can attach a motor to wind up R 16, finding a motor might be hard but if you save up some $ ask a tech to make you one, i don't know who but I am sure someone out there can for the right $$$ but that is not really needed and you can make a doc without sync sound,its been done and will continue to be done with wind up 16mm cameras. I say go for the wind up, also you can get K3 or H16 as a another wind up. THE H16 uses c mount so you can use the same lenses and the K3 has a nice sharp zoom lens that it comes with and a M42 or bayonet mount which opens the door for more lens choiceS ( m42 still glass or bayonet mount Russian 16mm glass which is totally underrated and AWESOME )
  9. Hi I have used DiJiFi and they are good, if you want you to see some of their work with regards to transferring super 8mm.. check out my vimeo( vimeo.com/idontspeakthatjargon) since all of my 16mm and super8mm was all done by them minus 3 uploads which I sent out to Colorado ( I think ...) because I shot with Kodak G. sadly the film was processed as black and white because I assumed the lab would see that it was COLOR film and process the film as COLOR but no, they processed it as black and white...I am still kinda bummed about that, but it was my own fault for not being explicit.. I would recommend purchasing a LOMO tank that can handle 100ft/ 30m, this way you can develop your own super 8mm. Developing your own super 8mm is fun and will save you $$$, you just missed out out on the ERA of 16mm and super8mm filmmaking in NYC with PAC LAB,( just about everyone here in NYC enjoyed pac lab's development services ) my go to lab for developing 16mm/super8mm. I am STILL depressed about PAC LAB shutting down! I can't express how sad it is for me to be walking by 2nd avenue nowadays.....those narrow stairs that used to lead to PAC LAB... I miss the lady who always used to accept my student ID...Pac Lab will forever be one of my favorite little corners in the world and it lives on in my my dreams. NYC really needs a lab like that, you would think there would be a few here but no... but there is MONO NO AWARE. check them out! They offer amazing workshops and have a great festival they put on in December, you can see projected super 8mm and 16mm!! You can submit your film on super 8mm or 16mm, its the closest thing in this day to that theater that Robert Downy Sr. mentions that used to exist in the city back in the late 60s Also while your in brooklyn check out Spectacle Theater they have the best programming in the city in my opinion! ( #2 = Anthology and #3 is FILM Fourm) I don't go to spectacle theater (in fact I went only once to see White Star and Supermarket a roland kilch double) but I always check out whats showing, and they play the best stuff in my opinion. I live too far away in Queens to trek to Williamsburg and if I lived closer I would go. ok so for super 8mm --- I would recommend you get a projector, I enjoy shooting on reversal film and once you get your film developed either by lab or yourself you can then screen your work, this is important because you don't want to just get your stuff developed and then automatically get it transferred, that can be expensive, and you might not want that roll transferred in the end. projecting gives you a chance to look at the film in all its glory, trust me, its not going to look better then when its projected! now if you don't want to get a projector, you can get a viewer, which is helpful with editing your film, or editing movies you can get off eBay or ETSY which is a lot of fun, you can hone in your skills editing by just buying super 8mms and splicing them up to create new and interesting things, you can also further manipulate the movies if thats your thing. Goko makes good editors, there is also Minette, search for Goko super 8mm--- projectors --- Eumig, Bauer, Elmo, AGFA. There are a lot of great projectors for super 8mm. so: LOMO TANK ( 100FT/30m version ) so you can develop your own film, a projector so you can watch your films or the works of others or old classics like star wars, and a viewer so you can look at your film before you edit, and also a splicer, there is Catzzo which are great but $$$ and the guillotine splicers which are more affordable, these are orange and black. some will say everyone these days scans, and the a lot of film from kodak is negative so you cannot view it on a projector, which is true but you can always collect some super 8mm films and re edit them and then view your creations. 50D film stock is a nice negative color film, I recommend using 200T as the highest,500T looks to grainy on super 8mm but thats me. If your shooting INTERIORS/LOW LIGHT or NIGHT stuff I recommend picking up some SUN GUNs, I have a few of these bad boys and they are awesome! You can also get REDHEADS which are cheap lights off eBay, stay away from the stuff made in china. Ocho Y Pico in Spain does some of the best transfers for super 8mm that I have see, there is also Film Discreet which I have yet to personally try but from looking at the stuff I have seen online, there stuff looks great as does Film Video Solutions and Cinelab. good luck and shoot super 8mm

  15. I have a few gates in various aspect ratios, this is for the IIC/B
  16. very interesting conversation here. @JohnJaquish big fan of your B&W cinematography, I can't wait to see what you have been working on. Hopefully you can find some technicians to service your 35 III.
  17. can you use rokinion lenses on 35mm film?
  18. I wonder about the following: Can you shoot with a 18fps super 8 camera (regular super 8 camera) and a super 8mm camera that has a crystal sync 24fps (mod by film group or some other mod) /// So all the stuff that is not dialogue is done with the 18fps camera so that you can get more out of the cartridge.Then the dialogue scenes can be shot with the sync'd out 24fps camera? In post ( be it old school viewer/splicer or digital scan/telecine) you can sync the dialogue with the images. Also when transferring your footage to digital is there anything one should consider when shooting sync or non sync super 8mm?
  19. So Igor your saying that you could develop negative super 8mm with the E-6 process which is cross processing or you can develop negative in B&W. Do both of these mentioned options allow for the negative film to be projectable without a print?
