  1. Hey! I don't have more information about the mount, but I was wondering where are buying these t-bars? I've been looking for ages and can't find one!
  2. I'm currently experimenting with a Sony sensor I bought on Aliexpress, which outputs to HD-SDI. I'm waiting for the final parts to arrive before I can start properly testing it with a 16SR, but hopefully I'll be able to get a semi-decent feed out of the light sensor hole. Will post some pictures once I've got everything together and running!
  3. A few years ago, I watched a film at the London Spanish Film Festival that was fully shot on Super 8 (I have no idea about the other technical details, such as the camera or lenses used). The name in Spanish is 'La Reina de los Lagartos', which would translate to The Queen of Lizards. Quite an odd but fun film about an alien lizard that arrives to Barcelona and falls in love. Very quirky! These are the trailers:
  4. Hi all! I'm selling my fully functioning Arriflex 16BL with its original lens (Angenieux 12-120mm) and plenty of original accessories. Quite a unique collection of items that include: - 3 400ft magazines (two functioning - one untested) - 1 1000ft coax magazine - Blimp for prime lenses - Minilock for crystal sync (untested - motor in the camera is different) - Two motors (untested, one is 42v for use with power supply) - Camera top handle - Multitude of filters (can provide more details by email) - Plenty of magazine cores for the 400ft plastic cores - Remote control for camera - 4-pin XLR to D-tap for power - Original box - Power supply for 42v motor - Periscope viewfinder for when operating with a shoulder rig Most recently used for a short film that was shot in 2022 and 2023, no issues at all with the camera. Very stable gate, great image. I can ship to UK and maybe EU but collection in London is preferred. This is the eBay link for the camera: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374789398236 There are some pictures on the eBay listing too. Happy to receive offers through eBay or directly on here if you prefer. Sad to see this one go because I really love shooting on the 16BL, but I'm selling it to finance my next short film!
  5. Selling my old Bolex H16 to finance a new film project. Quite sad to see it go. Price is 425 GBP (open to reasonable offers!) I haven't run film through it in a while and I don't have lenses anymore to test with, but the spring works well and it runs for the expected time. If testing, remember that you have to run it at a low FPS or else you risk breaking the camera. It's been very well kept in my collection of cameras. Very good aesthetic condition. It comes with various accessories: handle, viewfinder, case, little paper manual. I can ship to UK, EU and US (when shipping outside of the UK, the buyer might have to pay extra VAT and customs). I've uploaded some pictures of the camera here: https://imgur.com/a/fziYCSn
  6. Just a reminder that this will take place in just a couple of days time, at the Regent Street Cinema in London. If you're interested in attending the premiere, we still have a few tickets available! Kodak have kindly promoted our film on their social media too, they've been very supportive. Really looking forward to shooting on 16mm again! You can find more information about the event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-holy-yield-16mm-short-film-premiere-tickets-632259333687.
  7. Hi Mark, Thank you for your quick reply! I will keep that in mind when looking for other adapters. I have my eyes on an Isco Ultra Star from eBay. If I end up getting it, I will give it a go and post results here. Thanks again!
  8. Hi all, Has anyone tried getting a Kowa 16H or something like a Sankor 16-D or similar on the Angenieux zoom for anamorphic filming on Standard 16mm with the 16BL? Although I like the frame size of Standard 16, I'd really like to get that wide image for a short I'm preparing and given the limited budget of our production, I'm inclined to keep using the 16BL I own (which isn't the most practical solution, but it's also fun to experiment!). I also have a few Schneider primes that are S-mount, but if it could work with the zoom lens, that'd be great. Would it work at all? Viewfinder-wise, I'm building a small light-weight video out with a microscope lens, but I haven't gotten a low-latency de-squeezable feed out of it yet (I'm getting quite close, though). Thank you for your help!
  9. Hi all! My name is Diego Collado. I’m an aspiring filmmaker from Barcelona, Spain, but I’ve been living in London for the last few years while doing my undergraduate degree at UCL. After graduating last year, I’m now working in film / broadcast here too. I hope I’m posting this in the right forum. I’m a bit of a lurker and less of a poster on here, there is so much to learn in these forums. With the knowledge I’ve gathered from here, I directed my first 16mm short film last summer, called “The Holy Yield”, and we’ve just finished its post-production. Consequently, I would like to invite any members of the forum that are in London to come to the premiere. It’d be great to meet some of you in person and talk about films and cinematography! The event will take place at the 175-year-old Regent Street Cinema, in London, on Saturday 3rd of June at 2pm. It’s one of the oldest cinemas in the UK. The Lumière brothers showed a film for the first time in London at this cinema, in 1896. It’s very exciting to be premiering our project here! “The Holy Yield” tells the story of Jeremy, an ambitious construction planner, whose morals will be challenged when he is ordered to build an apartment block over the ruins of an ancient monastery. Entirely shot on 16mm Kodak film (500T and 250D, with a couple of segments on expired 7222) with an Arriflex 16BL, the short explores the tension between tradition and modernity with a touch of dark humour. I first came in contact with this camera during my time at the UCL Film & TV Society, as this has been our 16mm camera for decades. The society’s camera was out of service for quite a few years, but after it was serviced in late 2020 thanks to Christopher Nolan, we have managed to produce one 16mm per academic year. It has been very exciting to return to analogue filmmaking! I ended up getting one myself after finding one on eBay belonging to a BBC engineer. It was also so much fun to work with and around its quirks and come up with little bodges to modernise it slightly. We even duct-taped a phone streaming MJPEG to a low-latency local server to have a remote monitor for when we wanted to get some jib shots, pure DIY! If you’re interested in watching the film, please grab a free ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-holy-yield-16mm-short-film-premiere-tickets-632259333687. If you can’t make it / aren’t in London but you’re interested in the project, please send me a DM! After the screening, we’ll briefly discuss its production and present our next project, finishing off with some drinks at the cinema’s bar. Thank you once again for the incredible resources that these forums provide to aspiring filmmakers. It’s a treasure!
  10. This looks really cool! Thank you so much for sharing it.
  11. This is a parody video, made from BTS footage from Interstellar and other interviews, as well as footage from other films. It says so in the description!
  12. Hello everyone! I've been lurking this forum for ages, but it's the first time I ever post! I recently acquired an Arriflex 16BL and it's been a lot of fun to figure out how it works. I've learnt a lot! I also recently purchased a Schneider 25mm f/1.4 Cine Xenon, which is listed in the manual as a compatible lens, but I've so far been unable to mount it on the camera. Although I can slot it in, it doesn't lock in place and I don't want to force it too much. I'm also afraid of it sliding off if I tilt the camera slightly. Is there a trick to how it's done? I've checked the lens and compared it with other listings on eBay, and it doesn't seem like it's missing anything on the back part. I've attached a picture of it to this thread. Thank you very much for your help!
