you seem to have a penchant for the traditional chinese music and they superbly match the clips.

[MichaelRogge]

Thanks. Sometimes I spend more time on finding the right music and effects than editing the images!

[MichaelRogge]

When out of stock I took some other makes, like Agfachrome. They are all effected. My last movies in the Far East were on Ektachrome Commercial, which also withstood time very well.

The color photos, were they shot on print film or on slide film?

[MichaelRogge]

On Kodachrome slide film

[maidestone]

I would dearly love to know the location of the photo at 0:21 (BTW, that particular print is reversed horizontally).

Thank you, again!

[MichaelRogge]

So would I ! Thanks for letting me know of the reversal, but alas, it would take me too much time to correct,

Great color old pictures, great Chinese old music. Thanks Mr,MichealRogge.!!!

[maidestone]

First class photography.

Sincerely thanks.

Again great pictures. The one from 0:20 - 0:25 is reversed though. Just a note.

In fact the music in all your clips were Cantonese music from 30's to 50's.( which fit the old Hong Kong images background perfectly ) Every time when I watched your clips with the music, it really brought back a lot of sweet memories from the old days. Thanks for the good work.

I think Kodachrome going to discontinued soon, now only

one lab in the World process Kodachrome

[dickdickgohome]

another good example of analogue stroage media beats digital

[Polybun]

I kind of thought so. Just the fadeless nature of kodachrome really stands out. I'll never have any photos that live so long. I don't think any E-6 or C-41 film will last 50 years without fade.
