It's not surprising that DVDs look better over HDMI, it's a digital format being sent over a digital connector to a digital TV, rather than being converted to an analog signal and back again which would degrade the image, but all those image enhancers are going to degrade the image too! So Roger, tu...

this is usually a default option on the TV, i think sony call it motion flow... i always turn it off every house i go to, even if i don't really know the people. remember hdmi is not to blame, it's just a harmless port, it's the software in the screen which is to blame. all those black correctors, m...

I really like the feel of lower framerates, 24 seems like a very normal framerate for me, dialing down the projector to 18 gives that magic super8 look for me. but i definitely agree that we should all experiment as much as possible so that we can be the most happy with our images. I was just today ...

Ok so i just got my leicina special, i finally understand what people mean when they say it's well built! There are a few things i've noticed after initial inspection The main thing confirms what i read somewhere on this forum before, when you switch out the 85a color correction filter another color...

MovieStuff i get your point about S8 camera options, i'd not really thought about it that way before. However it very obvious now that i think about it, and i guess (if i'm totally honest with myself) I apply the same level of consumption urge that i criticize digital for encouraging, to my own purc...

I've often thought about this idea of cramming a digital sensor into a super8 cart. I reckon it would be really awesome and really useful. there are two ways i can imagine it being done without modifying the camera to be used. method 1 you create a cart that records a video stream, this cart can onl...

I mean, let's be clear: There is really no practical , commercial reason for the digi-film companies to make their product any better than it currently is. They could simply wait for film to die on the vine and then we'd be "stuck" with whatever state that digital looks. That's a pretty a...

wow 6 iso? crazy, you'd need sooo much light!
yeah i know it's not c41, but you might be able to process it in c41 chemistry as there is no remjet to worry about.

looking at the kodak catalog i came across this: "KODAK VISION Color Print Film / 3383 / VCP628 / 16 mm x 2000 ft roll / On Core / Super 8 (1-3) / 2R-1667 16 mm with Super 8 Perforations" assuming you cut it up into 100ft rolls, would you be able to shoot this on a DS8 camera? if so what w...

is this the only NEW S8 projector on the market?

I still reckon it'd be cool if someone came out with a projector that is also a camera.

i was just wondering if anyone's tried using something like a canon HV20 in 24p mode filming a 24fps projection?

another issue is that the exposure of each frame can vary slightly, so when you watch the movie back it kinda pulses (or at least so i hear) apparently this has something to do with the aperture, and can be remedied by using an all manual lens or by tricking the camera by obstructing the contacts be...

i spoke to wittner a while back and they said that they'd be happy to put the DS8 perforations in if you sent them some unperforated 16mm. the only realistic way of acquiring unperfed colour neg 16mm that i could find is to slit it down yourself from 35mm. it is possible to order it direct form koda...

i think in recent years TV shows are often much more interesting than their cinema counterparts IMO heroes is miles ahead of all the super hero movies made in the last few years. with TVs getting bigger, TV shows can be shot more like films, with more than 1 wide shot per episode. and 16:9 being th...
