Yes. The bride is checking with groom and photog.

My first Super 8 shoot since I was 16 years old. Camera - Used from eBay - Beauleau 4008 ZM II Film - From B&H - Kodak Vision III 50D Processor - CineLab Scanner - Gamma Ray Digital Color grading - Sony Vegas http://vimeo.com/97923837 I'm very pleased with the quality. I used a tripod in all shots so I assumed I'd have very stable looking images but I forgot there would be a little film-gate shudder. Still looks pretty cool. I could have spent more time grading the color but I was in a hurry last night after UPS finally delivered the long awaited hard-drive. I have 6 more rolls on their way and I'm lining up an outdoor wedding to shoot this Saturday - no charge to client - for the experience and for (hopefully) good sample footage.

Thanks. I may setup an auto eBay search.

I guess I'm trying to understand why you'd take a film with the wrong color balance - correct it - lose speed - have bigger grain - when you could have used something like 50 Daylight film?

I'm an experienced photographer but new to film-making. Can you tell me why you would choose Tungsten film to shoot outdoors? Thanks!

Is there such a thing as a wide-angle lens attachment for the Scoopic? Geoffrey www.chandlervideo.com

I'm leaning towards giving Gamma Ray a try which means I'll be color grading from a completely flat image. As recommended by Perry at Gamma Ray, I'm going to get DaVinci Resolve Lite installed and try my hand (and eye) at this art. So, here's a crazy question - anyone know where I can get some flat footage I can practice grading?

I'm in the US so I may have to look into Gamma Ray Digital. BTW, that is unbelievable quality! Both Super 8?

I'm new to small cinema (at least if you don't count my shooting experience at 12 yrs old with my S8 Bolex) and I'm wondering were can I go to get the highest quality, best looking 1080 HD images? Pro8 seems to be a solid, one stop shop and I've even called them with questions a couple times, and had very positive conversations both times. However I've also been pricing and reading about some other places like Cinelicious (they have a pretty high minimum order) and Cinelab (good prices). Is there a particular lab using a particular scanner or scan technique that is clearly superior? I'm very interested in having the best product possible. Thank you.
