i have this in my favorites and i stop by and play it frequently. i just realized i didnt leave a comment to thank you.... i just like little things like this. its clear the crew were messing with some of the stand ins as they were smiling and laughing. pretty cool stuff. would love to see ore of this type...
@marctronixx Thanks! I'm obsessed with it too. I miss the old archive of 16mm educational films we transferred over the course of 2 years. It's owned by someone else, otherwise I'd post.
@jackcatfish i didnt know you responded. thank you! is there any way i can contact this "source" to see if i could view? i am completely stoked on this type of material. words can express my excitement and awe...
I have a few 16 MM SMPTE test films, but I'd never seen this one before. Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was hysterical! At least, the color has held up great over all the years, amazingly.
It's Kodak Print stock from the 60s. The color holds over time, but is insanely saturated. That all changed shortly after. Remember the print stocks from the 70s? The green layer would fade with time leaving mostly red and blue. Everything was magenta.
Yes, that sounds like the notorious "Eastman"-brand stock that Kodak made in the '60s-'70s. Everybody used it because it was cheap, and it was such because Kodak skimped on making the dyes in the film base stable, IIRC.
Correct me if I'm worong, but I thought it was the cyan layer in a positive Eastman print that would fade, hence making it the much-despised red hue (from teh magenta & yellow layers, which seemed to hold up longer).
That's more exact, I got it all mixed up. Positive prints had cyan, yellow, and magenta... All this is leaving my head quickly as we speak. RIP, Eastman Color.
Im not sure of the use. It was something I found working as a colorist on a telecine back in the 90s. I love it. Maybe it was used for some kind of balancing on a film chain. Not sure.

despite everything you all might say this is one of the spookiest AND geekiest films on YouTube today..

That character in the fawn coat is obviously a transvestite. I bet she murdered the vicar in Act 2.

Sorry, YouTube seems to be acting up today. No double post intended.

I'm finding it can happen these days. You need to record on a data rich medium. Just add color and contrast. Effective lighting range helps.
