Matt. Let me know when for film is finished and if I can buy a copy. I loved the film and want to support it. - Hunter

Thanks Anthony. I need to find a comparison video of the two stocks scanned at the same resolution! - Hunter

I'll be sure to ask them. Thanks. - Hunter

Thank you gentlemen. While we're on the subject, any recommendations where I can get a scan that will do super 8 100d justice? Considering its reversal would a higher res scan be advised? I've only had 1080 scans of 50d and I haven't been impressed. Thanks! - Hunter

Thank you Heikki for taking your time to respond to my question! Considering I will be scanning to digital and not projecting I'll probably go with the v3. Maybe put the 100D up on Ebay for $1,000 each like everybody else ;) - Hunter

Thanks Ted! There was definitely no shortage of content for this project as I've been using 8mm film in my skateboarding video's for years! Thrilled you were impressed :) - Hunter

Considering I'm about to shoot a short on super 8 next month this seems like a perfect opportunity to ask this question (even though it may be unrelated to the topic). I'm deciding whether to shoot the two cartridges of 100d that have been sitting in my fridge for the last two years or go with v3 50D which I shot for my previous project. I know there will be a tighter grain structure resulting in a sharper image as well as a wider dynamic range with the vision 3 so why is it that people miss 100d so much? I'll admit there's something about the warmth of 100d but by comparison it seems obvious that the superior quality is with color negative. I'm also aware that the reversal has a unique aesthetic with that classic saturated look which is why I'm torn. I guess what I'm wondering is that if both daylight stocks were available from Kodak why would someone choose 100D over 50D besides the convenience of in home projection? I was hoping to get some opinions on and differences between the two stocks so I can finally make a choice. Thanks you and I apologize in advance for the dumb question :D - Hunter

Thank you very much Bill! Means a lot coming from you. - Hunter

Thank you Logan! I'm thrilled it took the top spot for the action category and I appreciate the kind words! - Hunter

I'm about to begin production on a new super 8/16mm project and being that I live within driving distance of Video Conversion Experts I thought I could save myself the hassle of mailing my film out to another state as I've always done previously. VCE seems to offer great rates/services in scanning 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film at up to 4k but I am feeling a little cautious of their "grain eliminating technology". Any members of the forum have experience with this company? Thanks! - Hunter

This made my day :lol: hope this new camera has full manual controls and some solid registration! also could this mean new stocks in our future? B) - Hunter

I completely understand and I appreciate the kind words as well as the support Chris! Thank you Ted. Very nice of you to say and I'm so glad you enjoyed the film. The song is also one of my favorites of all time! "feathers"- electric president - Hunter

http://theaudienceawards.com/films/lights-and-shadows-oshea-brothers52174 Comprised over 6 years of shooting Kodak Motion Picture Film, "Lights and Shadows" is my love letter to film as well as skateboarding. Shot on discontinued plus-x and 100D reversal as well as the gorgeous Vision 3 color negative stocks. I really hope the members of the cinematography.com community will take the time to view my film submission and vote in my favor as I'd love to continue shooting film for all of my future projects. Thanks! - Hunter O'Shea

Matt, let me just say I genuinely enjoyed this film and found Revelations to be incredibly gripping. Voted for you today and I will again tomorrow! Would you please vote for my submission in the "action" category? "Lights and Shadows" is a compilation of skateboarding I have filmed over the last 6 years. I'd appreciate the support. http://theaudienceawards.com/films/lights-and-shadows-oshea-brothers52174 Again, great film and I cannot wait to see the full length. - Hunter

This looks great. Personally I'd be very interested in watching this film and the contrast on the b&w stock looks amazing! - Hunter

Looks great Chris. Possibly even better than the lomochrome. Well, I have an $80 roll sitting in my fridge right now. I'll post some results when I get around to shooting it. Again, good job. - Hunter

They are actually 100ft rolls Albion. :) - Hunter

Superb! Truly enjoyed this my friend. - Hunter

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate you taking your time to help me out. I will definitely frame within the tv guidelines on my scoopic and opt for a 2k scan so I have vertical room to crop in post. Glad to know the cinematography.com forum has some of the greatest minds in the world, saving the day (or at least my film) once again! - Hunter O'Shea

Note: I will be shooting on Kodak 50d fine grain stock using a canon scoopic. I cannot afford the ultra 16 modification or a super 16mm camera.

Hey guys! I Was hoping for some advice on a project I'm about to get started on. I will be shooting some 16mm and super 8 footage on unmodified gate cameras (4:3) The plan is to incorporate this footage with 16:9 footage in a 1080 timeline and I'm wondering what my options are for scanning/cropping the film for the hd widescreen aspect ratio with the best resulting image quality and without distorting/stretching the image. Is there a way to avoid a crop altogether with a method of scan that resizes the 4:3 footage to 16:9? Is there a way I should frame the shot within the viewfinder with a horizontal crop in mind? I live in Arizona. Where would be the best place to have my film scanned/framed? Should I scan the film at the same resolution as the video? (1080) or should I go for the 2k overscan option so I have some extra room to frame myself? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm obviously very confused as this will be a new undertaking for me :) Thanks! - Hunter

Great tutorial! I'm hoping to export to the same anamorphic aspect ratio out of final cut pro 7. I can apply the 2.35:1 letter boxing and export using quicktime conversion then preserve the aspect ration using crop but do I have to loose the image area covered by the black bars in final cut? I saw from the video its possible to scroll vertically but can I scale the footage without sacrificing any of the image area? Thank you! - Hunter

Thank you Anthony. I will try that. That sounds like a good solution considering all the factors. I will be using a frezzi on camera light for some fisheye shots and that thing can be very bright on some spots but I feel like locking it one stop under what the meter reads should work out well. Thanks again for your time my friend! - Hunter

Josh... You are doing some very impressive work of great importance. I would be very interested in a lower cost option such as this. Keep up the good work! - Hunter

I don't... I've always relied on the internal meter which I'm sure is insane to a most people on this board haha. - Hunter
