The world looks great thru a Super 8

[TheOutspan]

I'm thinking of buying an nizo s480, I've found one for about 15 bucks :) it's a pretty good price huh?

[mrtreve]

yes. yes it is.

[stevedexteruk]

Nice. I like it.

[simiantooper]

Mrtreve; I would just like to say that I enjoyed that a lot mate. It was a very, very cool.

[mrtreve]

Thank you sir.

[straight8productions]

ever thought of trying straight 8??

[mrtreve]

i have actually... my crushing fear of commitment has stopped me in the past, but i may well give it a go next time.

I like the night traffic timelapse. Do you remember what interval you used to get the light trails?

Also, would I be right in saying some of those are shots taken in Stafford?

[mrtreve]

haha you have an eye for deprived midlands towns. the light trails were shot by road next to asda and all of the other clips were taken in various locations around stafford. look out for the sign that says 'lichfield - delays'.

i took a light meter reading to work out the interval for the light trails, i think it was around 30 secs. i was amazed when i got the film back and it came out.

[jollywhapp]

did you shoot at 18fps or 24fps on the tri-x footage

[mrtreve]

18 mainly. you get extra shooting time and that old school look.

[KojiRecords]

That Tri-X footage looks simply fantastic, thanks for sharing. Makes me rethink doing an upcoming shoot in Tri-X.

hey mrtreve..was wonderin..did you use a filter while shooting outdoor? what type of settings did ya use?

[mrtreve]

hey there, i had a screw on 85B warming filter which i used for some of it... i later realised my camera had one built in so i didn't always use it.

in terms of general use i shot it in auto exposure a lot and sometimes manually locked it if i thought something would throw it off, e.g. if the the sun was going to come into frame.

[bumdealkurx88]

one of my dreams is to own a super 8 video camera

but how did u upload it on to digital?>

[amydbabe1]

hey they're pretty cheap to buy off ebay. it's really the film and processing that gets expensive.

to get a digital copy you need to get the film scanned (telecine) or project it on a screen/wall and film with a camcorder.

[TurtleVVisperer]

Awesome footage!

[RamosArt]

very cool!!

[coving26]

superb. who did the music?

[mrtreve]

Thanks. The music is 'Mountain, Molehill' by Uzi and Ari. They're awesome.

I'm gonna upload my newest super 8 in a minute so check my profile!
