K40 vs 64T Ektachrome super-8 8mm. www.super8camera.com

It's funny, i actually have this video on an old cd-rom that I downloaded a few years back. For some reason, nothing will play it. I remembered "staying alive" was actually the music in the background. 64T always had that horrible blue overcast, They should of gone to 100D a long time ago.

[PARRAVISION]

64T is too blue! every clip I watch it has blue blue blue! its a blue raw stock! I dont like it.

[shamoogyboogy]

Listen to reticulan5, they know what they are talking about. If you take tungsten film outside everything will be blue. they should have used the ektachrome 100D or something.

[garrettanderson983]

why does it look so bad?

[pookie67]

you just need the Sat Night Fever theme over the beginning

[combatphil]

@pookie67 That's funny, the original clip actually had the sat night fever cover to it.

Wow! If this telecine is real, then Kodachrome looks natural and very beautiful, just like I remembered it from the 80's when my dad was filming us. Ektachrome looks too saturated, I hope this is real data and not exagerated to make Ektachrome look bad... However, I think that this extreme saturation could be corrected with some filter, but I'm not sure. It can certainly be corrected digitally after telecine, but the whole point of a reversal film is to project the original on a big screen!

[saullouis]

Gonna miss that Kodachrome. It was the best.

[KEAUQ]

wow thanks for the comparison, what a huge difference the 40 looks amazing the e64t is nice but looks less super8 and more video tape color.

[fredNielssen]

I think a colour chart test probably would have been a better way to go, but, of course is far less entertaining than a biky clown walking around town

[parachuteclubbed]

It would be instructive to compare the two both in overcast conditions (like here), against direct sunlight and also indoor tungsten situations.

Kodak stopped making K40 in about early 2006. I have two rolls in the fridge i can't wait to use this summer. The only other way to find it is, is to buy expired stuff on ebay, but its usually really old and won't look this good.

[StriderXGP]

what filters were used when filming these??

[super8camera]

I think only outdoor filter 85.

[randytate]

The exposure is definately flatter on the 64T - this is would appear to offer more details in the shadows where the K40 (at least with this telecine) crushes the shadows. A lot of variables at play - too many to be sure this is a straightforward A/B comparison. I like certains things about each stock in this clip. K40 will certainly be missed.

[KeyFilmation]

I agree with jippo. k40 definitely looks better, and I like the distinct warm feel that sets it apart from other stocks. 64t could look pretty close with a filter, but will never have the same feel as k40.

[Alessandro110]

Well I kinda liked the E64t better, the Kodachrome feels just too warm for outdoors, although the Ektachrome makes it look kinda like a cold winters day. But the last shot definitely doesn't look good in K40.

[jippolippo23]

k40 definitely looks better, but with the right filter, 64t could look pretty close.

[pasgro]

hi! did you use a filter while shooting this outdoors?

[AmazingShoestring]

weird how ektachrome looks better than kodachrome here. Both, however, look terrible. I think it has to do with exposure. And is that kodachrome expired or something?

[betheopian]

the kodachrome was warmer. the ekta looked like blue shit. could be cause this footage is shit. wait for the epic light then do a test. stupid clown.

[reticulan5]

I,s say the 64 which is a Tungsten balanced film was shot outdoors with no filter correction.That will always give a to cold or blueish tint.E.g look at the movie Gladiator where the Romans are about to battle Germans.

[sde999]

nice, and thanks. do they still sell K40, i kinda like the colour better. the 64t seems to bleed blue everywhere. what did you transfer on?

[pedroluque]

keep your motor running.... headed to the highway!! looking for adventure...

[Kinematographer]

What camera did you use? Was it left on auto-exposure? fun-ky!!

[jemof]

ATA, yeah!
