A super 8 kodachrome summer weekend in Rome, Italy.

[masterbutan]

Nice! Its 2003 but it looks 1960s. Super 8 is cool.

[nzoomed]

that beautiful kodachrome red!

[Bighairyballz]

I was wondering, how did you get this on the computer?

[gyedc]

@Bighairyballz The super 8 film was scanned via flashscan direct to HDD.

[DJarkham]

this is beautiful. im a analogue photographer getting my first super 8 soon. this is perfect. i what i wanted ot ask though was how many roles did u shoot to get the final thing? i think im under the illusion that im gonna take one maybe two rolls on a weekend holiday and get nice 3 minute clip edited at the end of it! i have a feeling your gonna tell me thats not the case!

[gyedc]

@DJarkham Many thanks for your nice comment. The clip is edited mainly to fit the music track length from an original 10min holiday short. I seem to remember x6 rolls shot in total = x4 K40 & x2 Tri-x (b&w) & only the best scenes used here:) Best of luck shooting your holiday!

[louisthegoose]

really nice! did you use a b&w film for those bits or did you change that in premiere?

[gyedc]

Many thanks! Kodachrome K40 film - which is now sadly no more...:( Other film stock used here: Kodak Tri-x (B&W).

[ELENDsun]

Wonderful atmosphere!

[Katana2040]

This is simply amazing!

[leerichard]

Beautiful

[jamandersen]

Spetacular!

[BANGONEM]

Classically Beautifull.

[cavstarr313]

Nothing touches your heart the way a super 8 can.. This is truly beautiful.. i felt alive the whole time.. thank you

[CosbyMayhem]

i just ordered my super 8 cam, does all super 8 film cartidges fit all cameras?

[PintoPonyProductions]

Great shots, super 8 is beautiful!

[Michelleheighway]

these are really great quality images almost unrecognizable as 8mm in sections!

[AWV34]

Wow. What a work of art. Can you still get super 8? I was doing standard 8mm for a while and processing it myself. Came out with some beautiful footage of my kids. I left that hobby, though. Wife got made at all the time I was dedicating on it. LOL

[pat1981lux]

Ektachrome 64T is still being produced by Kodak.

[Nosferatumiamor]

Wonderful ! RIP Kodachrome K40

[17Valjeans]

This is brilliant and all, but did you edit it digitally?

[gyedc]

Thank you! All footage edited using Adobe Premiere Pro software

[pat1981lux]

how did you capture the images from super 8?

[FedeeeSylvie]

This video is fantastic,good music and good recaptures!

[mcgovernmatt]

I'm sorry, but as good as HD, and DV, and all the new technologies are , NOTHING will ever beat Super 8 Film. The look, speed, quality, it's all just great!!

[pat1981lux]

Yeah but Super 8 films are expensive. Developing makes them even more expensive.

[akanathan]

@mcgovernmatt

The unique quality has never been produced digitally very good imo.

[fromgozowithlove]

what is the music? Sibelius?

[nannidapisa89]

The music is part of the soundtrak from the Werner Herzog movie "Nosferatu the vampire"

Music by Popul woo.

[gyedc]

The music is Das Rheingold by Richard Wagner

[jazzclarinet2006]

This is so cool! I want a super 8mm camera sooo bad! (That and a Speed Graphic 4x5!) Digital be damned, for me it's film all the way

[dieterlaser]

soooo nice !

[LumierexCosmic]

Brilliant, really lovely! I think I've just been inspired to buy a....

;)

[atheistunicorn]

Thank you fo sharing your beautiful journey. So sad that this film is gone.

[riawise]

That came together perfectly. It's lovely!

[joeepperson]

how many minutes does a 50ft film last?

[gyedc]

A single super 8 film roll at 24fps = 2.5mins or 18fps = 3.3mins (approx.). Regards.

[Moledmc]

Just lovely. Warm and lovely.

[derekf138]

I don't see a reason to shoot a vacation any other way. I wish I could afford to use my super 8 more

[Slim5819]

Thanks for sharing this. I didn't realize that people were still shooting Super 8 and it brought back wonderful memories for me. I also liked your choice of music.

[swallowsrh]

beautiful!

[fox1701]

hey thats a great video, so what was the process used to get it into digital format for computer

[gyedc]

Many thanks for your comment! The processed super 8 K40 film was telecined via a Rank Cintel Mk III TK machine/unit to DigiBeta and MiniDV tape formats for digitizing into a PC for editing. Good luck with your filmmaking!

[kickdown6]

was ist das für eine melodie?

[kickdown6]

hallo, mit was für einer kamera wurde der film gefilmt?

[Liface]

es steht in der videobeschreibung...

[popartpill]

Beautiful colors, Beautiful shots.

Try doing THAT with digital.

[xdeeben]

ahhh i love the super 8 look

[slystoner]

beautiful video! which song is that?

[ginkelvanmichiel]

it's GREAT!

this summer (4-7 july) I've visited Rome as well, with my kodak instamatic m4 - super 8 camera. The film isn't digitalised yet, but it looks quite similar :) the film I made has been shot on a kodak plus-x 7276. as well out of production :(

[wvshriver]

magnificant!

[astronomicafilms]

Super 8 and Italy work well together. Nice job. R.I.P. Kodachrome, how we miss thee.

[randy25rhoads]

Fantastic footage!!

It really is a shame that Kodachrome won't be produced again. It's always been my favorite.

[LeonSzillard]

Nice video. Thank you for posting this, brought back some good memories of the places I've seen about 5 yrs ago. I think Italy's one of the coolest places in europe at the moment, and you seem to have captured that here.

[creamofclapton68]

Wat kind of Camera did u use?

[Rolistem]

Excelente, gostei muito dessa forma de mostrar um fim de semana diferente, elevando à filmagem uma categoria profissional. Particulamente falando também gosto muito do SUPER-8.

[roscoegino]

too bad youtube quality sucks the way it does

[mrpurpleslug]

3it;s great but weird woohoo

[schmoe56789]

this was great! I was just in Rome for a day and it's amazing how different it can look on film

[awkpidgin]

and now paul simon will have to create another song called "ektachrome"

[billtotolo]

Awesome.

[gloriouskodachrome]

why, oh why did kodak dump the greatest filmstock on the planet, wonderful vid, the reds are to die for, thanx for sharing.

[schoft]

Because the proccesing of the stock was very polluting for the atmosphere. Yup, no joke.

[biz4m]

I love kodachrome...
