Filmshooting

In my experience selling second-hand cameras over the last 15-20 years or so the "cult following among younger folks" always seemed to focus on SX70s and similar. Since that film was discontinued a couple of years ago the demand has been dropping, and these days (before this latest announ...

Beaulieu 4008ZMII Zeiss Moviflex GS8 Electronic Canon 310XL The other 9 got let go. Interesting how things change, now I have four: Canon 1014XL-S (used more than the rest...) Beaulieu 4008 ZMII 8-64mm (Still my favorite but less ergonomy than the canon) Minolta XL 400 (timelapse camera) Nizo 148 M...

Also, with the normal 16mm projector, would you see 4 images projected? sides A and B above sides A and B respectively just one frame behind? exactly. does the Elmo shoot in reverse like that with the R8mm back? Perhaps someone out there knows which 8mm cameras can shoot in reverse? (I'm pretty sur...

What I want to do is film both sides of the film and then project it un-split. The easiest way to do this is with R8mm (not DS8) as it will run through an unmodified 16mm projector. I'm sure if you did a forum search you'd come up with some more info. People when doing this usually shoot the first ...

In theory it sounds quite simple get a reflex bolex h16 and swap in the movement from an H8 = wide 8mm (or half height 16mm). It's been discussed a lot here over the years but other than the people already mentioned I don't know of anyone who's actually done anything like it. I wonder how much use i...

DVD Infinity has come up before on this forum. My opinion (not having used them and not planning to either) is that it is somewhat flakey. They go on and on about how special their machine is but won't say what it is or how it works. I like to know what I'm getting when I pay for something, not a wh...

Pointing out an ebay auction to me doesn't spoil anything, no matter if you suddenly whisper it in my ear or yell it out loud. It's a public auction, not a private deal that is being spoiled by revealing its existence. Again, you seem to be operating on the notion that if you find an auction first,...

It's not unethical to post these auctions here, but it can be annoying. Cameras/accessories that people might not find or know about suddenly become very expensive. [Of course no one has a right to a bargain, but we all like to get one now and then. Posting here or on the other forum reduces the alr...

There is a guy Bernie near Boston

He does beaulieus too.

The ftp service was shut down more than a year ago (could even be two or three years ago I don't remember) due to abuse.

Try Super8.no or Super8 Aid.

Vignetting on the right side at certain focal lengths. Harder to set up aerial image for transfer without aberration on the edges. Can be worked around. And the zoom doesn't track straight (unless the lens is recentered). [Can't see the full frame through the viewfinder, although some people have p...

hey nice work.

Some nice shots. The biking shots are cool. (You're lucky in the states to have such cinematic strait roads.)
Good use of lens flare as the zombie wakes up.

While this doesn't cause any issues, it's kind of bizarro, and I don't like it when random things malfunction! Sorry I don't know how to fix this but it'll probably right itself next time you do a fade or dissolve. The lap dissolve feature can't be used at the beginning or end of a cart [see page 4...

Congrats on actually doing it. :!: I didn't watch the whole thing (nearly made it to 5mins)... Most of the comments so far I agree with, but you asked what stands out as cliched: the biggest cliche is the main character, how many times have we seen the character of the husband who loses his faith af...

Let me say it differently...the shots/scenes used in Miami Vice are capable of being recreated on super 8 and inspire shooting with film. Modern shows are "filmed" on a computer. Nuff said. I've been watching Miami Vice this past week, it is really grainy but not quite in the super 8 leag...
