I like the vintage look, that's what I aim for when I make movies. It seems like everyone's trying to be HD, but I much prefer the warm, grainy look of film. What kind of 16mm film do you recommend for a vintage/filmic look?
if i make movies when i grow up i want them all to be in black and white and like the old talkiies. thats where the real hollywood magic is. not all the money seeking crap films now a days (with an exception of the dark knight :))
That's kind of a fallacy. While most movies are not good, particularly in Jan/Feb, but this has always been the case, we simply never saw the crap from the previous decades.
man i have 1 question. Please answer. What kind of film do they use in most big budgest movies today? Is it 35mm? Thanks in advance! Your footage us very unique! Has an artsy feel!
35mm is the standard for Movies today. However, with movies like The Dark Knight, some scenes were shot on IMAX, which is much, much, larger than 35mm. 35mm goes thru the projector vertically, but IMAX is 70mm film turned sideways, so it is a very large frame. 35mm film is equivalent to about 9 Megapixels, while IMAX is about 35 Megapixels. 16mm is roughly equivalent to HDTV, at 2 or 3 Megapixels
im 14 interested in these camera i really want to buy one i know its heaps expensive but what should i be looking for in a 16mm from the 70's?? and where can i learn?? (web)
Do you mean the krasnogorsk or the Kinor?? Both are from the 90's. However the Kinor is not that expensive, it can produce perfect images as it has side pressure and registration pins. But-needs to be well serviced. The lens are very very good, but many are being converted for use on modern cameras, so get one quick.
It is way cheaper at about £15 for 500ft. But it is labour intensive and fairly specialized. I charge £10-15 per 100ft, however im making a dev machine which should cost about £450 for a basic example if you are interested?
Not immediately, but I will be dabbling in film eventually (hopefully). I think film is fascinating because what you're seeing are organic, physical images, not bayer interpolated filth. Although video can be nice enough, the color and texture is soo wrong feeling. I've seen filmlook examples done by pros and they all stink. I have found good places for film/telecine (I even found a place that's moderately priced if I wanted HD). I like that film can be pushed to amazing quality, unlike video.

FYI, movies, since the invention of the technology, have always been about making money.

the hand processing came out great! what type of system do you use?
kidandacamera 4 years ago
Lomo, Morse and some home made systems using C-41 and e6

Where could I find out how to do this home developing? Is it significantly cheaper than lab processing?
