Pentaflex 16 Kodak 50D footage

[Gareth Blackstock]

G'day,

 

After recently buggering up my camera's shutter timing and shooting some ghosting footage, I finally got around to correcting the issue and after shooting some Kodak 50D with it I am pretty impressed. The scanned footage has not been stabilsed or colourised, basically straight off the scanner with ProRes 444. The footage was hand processed, one can tell here and there, but still a great job I reckon. The lens is a 12.5mm Carl Zeiss, the shots are around 10 seconds. I had to use VirtualDub2 to even play the footage.

Aside from the weight of the camera, I am liking it more and more, great registration, no torn film, easy to load, and cheap to buy. I am looking forward to shooting a bigger project soon.

Nice!! Especially liked shots 2 and 4.

The hand processed look is very cool. I always expect it to be matched with a hand crank exposure going up and down feel too.

 

The colors are for sure interesting, it looks more like 2 strip technicolor then Vision stock. I wonder if one of the channels is just low off the scanner.

Thanks for the feedback, I should have under exposed a stop, but I will enjoy altering the footage on fcp and virtualdub. I also have to test shoot some old Ektachrome to see if its fit for a project, got about 2000 feet sitting waiting...

Stil, I am pretty happy with the images from my pentaflex..

Cheers, Gareth
