What labs develop 500t?

@DanGoedeker There is a slew of them in the U.S., but the ones I have used are Cinelab in MN, Spectra Film and Video in CA, and Pac Labs in NYC.

My uncle just gave me a Canon Super 8 Auto Zoom 814. It's in mint condition and came with the case. I know nothing about this camera. Wonder what kind of kool stuff I can do with it. My uncle was dying of cancer and he gave the camera 2 weeks before he passed.

@klpinvestments The Canon 814 AZ requires two separate batteries for the auto exposure meter. They are called Wein Cells and can be bought here: wwwDOTweincellDOTcom..model no. MRB625..you will need two. Or you can also get them at B&H Photo. The Canon 814 AZ Electronic uses 4 AA batts and does not need them. Check to see which is your camera. Both cameras can use all of the S8 films available today, but you'll have to decide if you just want to project it or have it transferred.

Looks fantastic! I've been shooting reversal but I am really itching to try this negative stock. How did you create a positive image? Is it as simple as inverting colors or do you have to do more advanced color correcting? Do most telecine places do this? A few questions but thanks for any input you have!

@silber99 Many thanks!! For negatives I have a friend who is starting up a transfer business, so he does the initial transfer and inversion, then I get it in digital form and colorize it further. All telecine places do this, but have different pricing, from a basic one light transfer, to a scene by scene color correcting transfer, to a supervised transfer where you sit with them and tell them what you like..this option being the most costly.

@x05e Thanks for the help, and keep up the good work. Your videos are great.

@x05e Thanks a bunch. I think it is the electronic one. There is a compartment for 4 AA batteries.

@MREVANURY The 310Xl only shoots at 18fps (bummer), with a 220 degree shutter angle = 29.45 shutter speed. It also has an F1.0 lens. Thanks for the comments. really. I love using this little camera with high speed film, and every time I think I'm going to get underexposed images it proves me wrong!

Again, this is some great looking footage and you're using a Canon 310! I haven't seen a Beaulieu with an Angenieux lens take footage like this. If you have the manual for the Canon, see what the shutter speed is at whatever fps you shot this. 18 or 24. I'd be curious to know how far off it is from my Beaulieu! A lot I'd bet. A whole lot! Great looking stuff!
