hey, what street was that hubba spot on?

Hey, i love the render of your film, and i thinking about bying a super 8 camera. I would like to know with whath film did film the color part ??

[geejay]

All the colour parts were shot in Kodak Vision2 200t. To be honest it can look so much better than this - I've since colour correction this footage and it looks 10 times better.

I was wondering where you had the film developed or if you did it yourself?

[geejay]

Processing and telecine was done at the widescreen centre in London.

why is he 200T footage so dark? i thought, nizo 800's would overexpose a 200T, as they read it as being a slower film.

[geejay]

not too sure. only thing i can think is that its because I failed to compensate with the aperture when shooting at 56fps.

[mrtreve]

could just be the 200t struggling to keep up with the overcast lighting and high frame rate.

i kind of like that it's murky though... the choice of music helps to sell it.

What Camera model is that shot with? I'm really thinking about getting a Super8.

[geejay]

the beginning and end were shot on a Eumig Nautica and the skateboarding and b&w footage was on a Nizo 801.

[bonedaddyskate]

Thanks. Those Eumig's are waterproof, huh. They are pretty pricey for a Super8.

[geejay]

Yeah thats right. Great camera, shop around and you'll find one for a decent price. Well worth it!

[CmOnEy618]

pretty sick.

[mrtreve]

That was cool... what's the song?
