  • This film was inspired by 1960's and 70's films that used Bolex 16mm cameras to document incredible adventures in the natural world, most notably Mountain of Storms and Filmmaker/Naturalist Richard Proenneke. Throughout 2022 I brought my Bolex camera along to document some of my own adventures and created this collection of serene images. Footage from 1:34 - 1:44 was captured on Super 8mm film with a Canon 814xls camera.

    Kodak 50D | 250D | 500T
    Kodak 50D Super 8 film
    Processing by Pro8mm and Mono No Aware

    For me, nothing beats film. This is 16mm on an old, old Bolex and still, its specific warm feel and texture are unmatched by digital tech to this day. Congrats.

    The difference IMO between this and most digitally shot videos (even with some real high end cinema cameras) is that Kodak color film has life in it. It looks organic and natural to my eye.
    I'm also amazed by how much detail can be captured in that tiny 16mm frame. I've shot on my Bolex and have found that with a 2K scan, some shots rival any HD video camera, with the exception that the film also has a superior amount of latitude in adjustment. Currently I'm debating whether to shoot a feature on 16mm (which would be very expensive compared to digital) or to just try to fake film with a decent digital camera.

    Wow. It is only rarely that I comment on TH-cam Videos but this video (that was for some reason recommended to me on my homepage) has really struck a chord inside of me. And it's such a beautiful melancholic one.
    I have been into film photography for over a year now and watched lots of content but this video was somehow different. The footage in and of itself, the editing, the sounds which you put underneath, the music, the scenes which include some areas that I myself had the privilege of being at like Pisa for example.. Its just marvelous.
    You have honestly done a fantastic job at capturing the beauty of life which honestly is an almost impossible job but precisely what I want my film photography to be all about.
    This video has really touched my heart. What a privilege it is to live, isn't it?
    Thank you very very much. You did an incredible job here.
    Greetings from Germany.

    It is so beautiful with such a nostalgic feeling that make me want to cry like I'm missing those experiences I never lived, but is not a bad sensation. In portuguese we call this nostalgic and melacholic feeling "saudade".

  • @StymyParsley
    @StymyParsley ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Outstanding job Ryan. Great use of occasional over cranking, and I love the occasional addition of sound mixed in with the music for specific scenes. I definitely try not to over-romanticize film but something about this and some short films like this on 16mm just speak to the soul. So beautiful. If I was rich I'd love to shoot all my home videos on 16mm lol. Actually, screw that, I'd shoot my home videos in 70mm.
    I barely every subscribe to any photo/video channels but this just swayed me immediately, and I can't wait for more of your videos.

      Lenses, 5k scanning and color grade. It honestly can look much better than this - the color grade is intentionally minimal to achieve a more dreamy kind of a look. Take a look at a modern film like falcon lake, shot in 16mm, looks incredible. Search “the beauty of falcon lake”
