Filmshooting

I'm guessing if I just file with good technique pushing down away from the film side only(as to not create burrs towards the film) and polishing with a dremel or something I will be fine, but I would love any input. I have done this twice on my R8 Eumig and on my S8 Eumig. Like you say, remove the ...

It works fine now

Thank you! :oops:

Because I'm averaring several frames, I make detail visible that otherwise would be lost in the grain.

I have a nice collection of old 8mm film by now :D And I would like to share some pictures with you all. Please right click on the links and open them in a new window. 1974, Maroc, probably on K40. This film was shot by Rudy, a talended amateur filmer, with top equipment. http://www.facebook.com/alb...

Good morning Andreas, I have started with Vimeo a few years ago because then it was offering much better quality. And I liked it because of the layout etc... Today Youtube is offering the same quality indeed and you can reach much more people with Youtube. But this is for watching the clips only.. A...

I can't resist. Same shot, 2007. Not film. http://retrothing.typepad.com/james/LOC-today.jpg It's the sharpness. Digital pictures are often way to sharp. And the DOF is the same on the entire picture. This removes all 'depth'. A bit of blur will make it look more like real film but I agree that not...

Where can I find the newest version of RemoveDirt ? Hello Rob, http://www.super-8.be/avisynth/01_film_restoring_script_removedirt.avs http://www.super-8.be/avisynth/RemoveDirtMC.avs And which version of Avisynth are you using ? I can not check this now, but it's a recent and stable version. Fred.

Fred, You have an online example of the Fuji stocks. Not the best telecine, but Ignacio makes the coolest home movies in the world: http://vimeo.com/groups/s8travels/videos/10891939 I'm impressed.. Very nice colors indeed. Anyway, if you want footage of Velvia to scan, I can send you some. That wou...

Just one thing. I mostly work with 24fps and 25fps films. In the script I see that it's made for 16.666 and 18.75fps. If I want to render the final output file to Ie. 24fps or 25fps, what do I do then? Good morning Andreas, The script can change the input to any play speed and convert it to any fra...

Fred's script will then render it back out as 25fps using interpolation instead Yes, but this can be disabled by setting play_speed and numerator to the same value. Denumerator must be set to 1 then. Rendering back to the needed FPS can be done with changeFPS() then. For those who do not like the i...

Hi Fred, Just playing around with your script here and I've never used AVISYNTH before so here are 3 newbie questions: Nice! You have the newest RemoveDirt version I hope? Also, I suggest to use VDubMod because there's a build-in Avisynth editer. 1. If I want less contour correction/sharpening. Wha...

Well... I realy would like to examine some Fuji on my transfer unit. And also some of the new E100D. You can always send me some.

Fred, I've tested Wittnerchrome 50D (Fuji Velvia) on super-8 cartridges and it worked like a charm. Wittner lubricates its stocks, so that transport problems are a thing of the past... Yes, I know about the lubricating, but it is good to hear that it works in practice. Can you not show some results...

I'm tired of Kodak problematic reversal stocks...

Have you already used Fuji film in a Super-8 cardridge? Wittner is warning for possible problems with the film transport, in certain camera models.
