Kodak Ektachrome 64T Super 8 sample clip

A few quick shots of flowers and foliage in my back garden in Chester, England. Exposed on E64T with an 85b filter in bright sunlight. YouTube compression has softened the footage considerably and blown out some of the the highlights - the original film, when viewed on a projector, looks razor-sharp with spot-on exposure.

hi gareth

could you explain why you used the filter...because of the daylight situation ?

[GarethFromChester]

That's correct; Ektachrome 64T requires an 85B filter when filming in natural daylight, otherwise the resulting footage will display a strong bluish cast. You can sometimes get acceptable results by just using the camera's built-in 85 daylight filter, although this can result in a slightly "colder" tone.

hey man

nice contrast/saturation

is this cross-processed ?

[GarethFromChester]

No, it was just developed using the normal E6 reversal process. The vivid colours and the high contrast are due to bright sunlight at the time of shooting.

i love the way the old colors look...

[GarethFromChester]

I believe that K40 can now only be developed by Dwayne's Photo in the USA - apparently, they won't be offering the service for much longer :( You might like to take a look at their website for details of their services and prices.

I have some rolls of Kodachrome 40. Do they develop that there too?

[super8sooty]

Very nice colours

Nice footage, glad you know how to use a camera and can hold a shot, every video of super 8 footage on youtube is a pan after pan, finally an artistic well shot test with super 8 as opposed to these "watering the garden" beginner pans, you know how to shoot, nice one mate.

A fair comment, thanks for the feedback! To be honest, these are just a few random shots which I took in order to use up the last few feet of the cartridge - the film had some holiday footage on it which I was looking forward to seeing, and I was really itching to get it sent off to Andec :) My other Super 8 clips usually feature a bit more motion than this :)
