DIY 35mm Adapter Test- B&W

Footage taken on 1/7/09 in downtown Wilmington, NC. Shots are just a test for a project that Chase Horton and I are working on over the next few months- That's why we used b&w. We used a 35mm adapter that I built. (Thanks to Daniel Schweinert for the great tutorials!)

Overall, we were very satisfied with the results even though we didn't use a tripod and shot under extreme low-lighting conditions.

During the first part of the test, I had to boost the gain to 18dB (hence the graininess). For the rest of the test, I only boosted to 6dB (with the exception of about 10sec at 0dB- You'll notice the image get very dim).

In case you're wondering, I used a Canon Ee-S focusing screen, Daniel Schweinert's Static GG-Holder, and a Canon 50mm prime lens.

The music is "String Theory" by Foxes That Fight. Check out their music at http://www.myspace.com/foxesthatfight
