More Super 8

[Clarkthek]

I'm in love.

[voodoosandy]

very cool footage. nice work

[NelsonBCarter]

I wish my life was a super 8 movie

[stevedexteruk]

Yes a nice film. Well done. I cant believe how good that 500 stock looks in low light. How dark was it? or was it twilight?I am thinking of doing a super8 short soon and will give these two stocks a try. Nice idea using them to go from day to night. And yea the red coat is nice.

[iliketea333]

very nice

i was wondering which parts are 200 and which 500

also did you use a filter to compensate for the film being tungsten balanced but used in daylight?

[mrtreve]

hey thanks.

the 500 was used on the low light stuff, i can't remember shot for shot...

i used the built in correction filter apart from the for some of the really dark stuff where i needed the extra exposure.

[iliketea333]

so your camera has a filter for filming tungsten balanced film in daylight?

i would like to know because the colors here are very nice and the vision films especially the 500 would be very usefull in dark outdoors shots. like at sunset

[mrtreve]

That's right. A daylight filter or 85b filter if you want to get technical.

I really enjoyed what you've done here.

[sheriff937]

Wow, that looks great.

I have recently purchased a beaulieu 3008, never used film before and shot a few test rolls to varying degrees of success.

When using 200t and 500t stock, inside and out, typically what should i be setting the ASA dial to on the camera(i realise conditions will affect this, but is there a rule of thumb or starting point)? I have been leaving the auto exposure on for now until i get more adept.

many thanks

hey mark, my camera actually automatically registers the sensitvity of the film.

if your camera has an ASA dial then just dial in the speed of the film (ASA 200 for 200T and ASA 500 for 500T). So you change it to match your film not the conditions.

if your camera has a built in daylight filter it should compensate for any light loss automatically.

setting the ASA just tells the camera how sensitive you film is.

make sense?

A nice film, full of joy and poetry. Great soundtrack !

[musicaminauta]

Gracias, Thanks ¡¡¡

[thefuturehour]

That was lovely. Even more so for being shot entirely in Stafford. I used to go to college there many years ago. Nice to see the familiar locations. Good work!

[iliketea333]

does the built in light meter register for different ASA

for example if you put in 500T after 200T will it recognize that and meter correctly for the 500?

[mrtreve]

yep the camera automatically metered with the correct asa. it did a really good job with all the kodak stocks.

[iliketea333]

when is it good to use 500 or 200

what lighting situations?

[mrtreve]

200 is good for brighter conditions - either sun or a bright overcast day

500 is much better when it's getting darker. in this clip you can see it in all the evening stuff; crossing the road wih the cars, the bridge, the tunnel, the phonebox etc. it can function in very low light.

you kind of get a sense for how much light you need for a certain stock after a while, but that said a light meter is great if in doubt.

That telecine occupied thanks

[Stephenjamesbland]

looks great. Have you tried using the Pilotone to sync sound? ... and just out of curiosity, where'd you get your tk done?

[mrtreve]

thanks. i haven't tried that, i kind of like cutting super 8 to music anyway.

my tk was done at the widescreen centre, but i further colour corrected in fcp.

[CitizensNotSubjects]

That is freaking beautiful footage (and a good song, too). Good choice having your model wear that red coat and black boots. Very cheeky.

Brilliant. That is the whole purpose of Super 8 film right there.
