16mm test reel

[bumtownv2]

How much does the film cost and how much does getting it into a computer cost?

I was just wondering, what is Tobin crystal sync?

[BurningtunaDC]

@jera3 Tobin crystal sync is a device that you can purchase then attach to your 16mm camera so that it is crystal sync at a certain speed usually 24 fps.

nice video. can you tell me how did you made it digital video? i don't know anything about film cameras. thanks

[thepaulbmoore]

Really nice film although I'm sure the original projected would be much higher quality. Best regards, Paul

[rayisyourlover]

man this is the reason why I love film so much. it's the actual picture. it's the actual light going onto the piece of paper. digital is just a replication of it. argh the quest for what is real never ends!

[nigel101]

Where about you from, how much is a stock and process costs?

[nigel101]

why dont you buy your self a super 8mm it be cheaper and you'll own it out right.

[csselement]

Great advice for those interested in getting started on a budget. Make sure you do some research before buying the camera as some are unfortunately a bit limited when it comes to control (frame rate, focus, exposure, lenses, etc).

@csselement get a bolex 16mm. they're extremely durable and offer pretty much every feature you could hope for.

[anndapanda]

This looks great. I've only worked with black and white film. I hope to use color next. I wish it wasn't so costly though. The look beats digital on any level.

[csselement]

Thanks, anndapanda. I couldn't agree more!

[tellingtheworld]

looks great...I also love film it just has a special mood about it...you film was good and if edited a bit would even look better...was that a 50 foot roll or 100 foot roll?

Nice video! You can order 8mm and 16mm movie film online. I have a collection of old movie cameras, and I've shot about 5 rolls of double-run 8mm film so far. But I haven't tried 16mm yet. I want to do that next. 16mm is a lot more expensive though.

[nigel101]

if your in uk its insane. You can buy a tank and chemicals to develop it yourself, it takes some skill though.

[redcorncob]

film > video

[csselement]

I agree with you 100%. Even with today's 24P HD cameras complete with 35mm lens adapters. Nothing quite matches the magic and mystery of film.

However: film price > video price =)

[ct92404]

...I have to agree too that there is just something special about film. Whether it's still photographs, or shooting with movie film, it just has a really cool, unique look to it that you just can't get with digital. The color saturation and tones are a lot better. If anyone wants to try shooting with 16mm or 8mm film, I'd recommend Ektachrome 100D. It's a great film that's daylight balanced, so you don't need a filter. And you can easily order it online.

Dust gathering?

[DasKapital]

i think he meant nobody was using it for a while.

[thebaldwinbrothers]

This is really great looking footage - you have a great sense of composition. It's amazing how some test footage of two guys running around in a ditch plus some well-chosen music would wind up looking so cool!

[adsonsilva1981]

ok, sir.

but....i thing there are 2 songs in this video.

you gived me the first song.

now...whats the name of second song ?

thanks, sir.

by: Adson Silva.

[csselement]

The 2nd song is "It's All About Right Then" which is the following song after "Andrea Loves Horses" on the album.

[adsonsilva1981]

whats the name of this music ???

thanks.

[destructorcreator]

Andrea Loves Horses by Ghosts & Vodka. Get the album Addicts & Drunks, it's so insanely beautiful it makes me sick just thinking of all the people that will die without hearing it.

[csselement]

I have no idea what stock I used for this. I asked my school for a camera so they dug out a Eclair NPR from the depths of the equipment room. They also gave me some older (refrigerated) film, so I just used what they gave me. I may be able to find the canister if I look around, but it's been a few years and I have no idea where it is now.

[combatphil]

I would like to know what kind of film you used as well, it should be on the label on your returned reel. Did it happen to be a super 16 camera?

[nicmctaggart]

I love the ghosts and thee vodka, we need more ghost and vodka vedios out there

[planetpimp]

As an immense Ghosts and Vodka fan, I approve of this video greatly.

[Theorem]

It's really nice for what it is.

And good musical choise too.
