My next project will be a short b&w movie (~15min) edited down. For cost reasons and because of the wide availability and aesthetic beauty of 8mm film / cameras, I'm taking this route. I'm not sure finding the best camera is best for this old look, perhaps there are a few 8mm cameras that would lend themselves to the gritty nasty look of the old 1920's silents, including Nosferatu and Haxan. Also, i'm looking to shoot at 18fps, to speed up to 24 in post to gain the awkward look associated with the old silents. Any recommendations on cameras, film stock, film degradation or telecine processes to help add to the old, gritty aesthetic would be greatly appreciated.
