Kodak Ektachrome 125T (7240) Super 8 Cross-Process Tests

Originally tests for a short film, this is a single roll of Kodak Ektachrome 125T VNF (7240) Super 8 reversal film(now discontinued), cross processed (x-proc) in colour negative chemicals (ECN-2). Filmed in London using a Nizo 156XL camera. Film ASA rating & Exposure = normal & Development = normal. Note the film grain increase, film base burn-out as well as the increase in vivid colour saturation chroma(with a bias towards mostly greens & yellows). All footage 18FPS (with some undercrank 9FPS) & Single light/pass Flash-scan Telecine 18FPS to DVCAM tape.
**WARNING** Never look directly into the sun through any camera viewfinder as it will damage your eyes!!! (this camera was carefully modified for sun-viewing purposes).

also, how do you modify a camera for sun viewing purposes?

[gyedc]

Many thanks for your nice comments! I have a special custom built sun-visored eye-piece for this Nizo 156XL Super 8 camera. Otherwise never look into the sun through any camera! :)

the quality of the digital conversion, or the upload is getting in the way of the natural film effects :C

Digital will NEVER match film! Great "test" and film.

Also never point a digital camera into the sun for more than a short moment, as the lens focuses the sun onto the sensor, wich is rather expensive to change. A lot easier to change film in an analog camera, and in an analog movie camera the film is continously moving so it wont get burned.
