Thank you for this great film. Good concept. The filmstock is brilliant. The camera has such a steady film transport/gate (Beaulieu is high-end after all)
Big love thank you ❤️ I did yes, I kept it minimal and the camera itself isn’t bad, I’ve had much worse but I do give it a little aid in steadiness to lessen the distraction where I can
Hi Thanks for sharing this too :) Please can you say which ones are 50D shots? This is an amazing work for a super8 film there,, better than many many 16mm filmed out there in terms of details and colors :)
I’d have to go back through the original scans to confirm but I believe most of the beach and water shots may have been 50D but I think there were a few exceptions depending on if I wanted to shoot higher frame rates like the bees flying or waves lapping in credits, they are definitely 200t
Thank you very much. Not hugely involved, I tend to grade for a short while then return the next day to see it with a fresh perspective. I do that a lot so that’s probably the most tedious part, is the time combined, but it’s pretty easy to grade film
Thank you 🙏 These are all done in post, I’m never sure how I’ll place anything in an edit until I’m in it, so I like keeping my shots long and clean so I can do this stuff later
Thank you ! I added an almost unnoticeable amount, just to tighten it up a little, But I also don’t want to overdo it, it’s 8mm and the softness is something to be embarrassed I think, same with colours and imperfections, I want things to look as natural and realistic in all its characteristics as possible
@@ssimplefilms thanks for the answer. I agree that super8 should be chosen for it's specific aesthetic qualities. I just think your footage is really sharp and crisp, for super8. I mean this in the most positive way. What kind of scan did you use?
@@ssimplefilmsthose beaulieu lenses man, I’m hoping to catch some footage of sunny France with my Nizo, I have only tested it with the 500t so looking forward to 50d
Hi, I'm an 18 year old looking to shoot my first full feature film. I was astonished by this footage. Like it doesn't feel like Super 8, feels more like 16mm. May I ask if you did any additional color grading or adjustments for it? And where did you get the film processed and scanned? Much appreciated and keep up the great content!💕
Cheers mate ! I do colour grade all my footage but I try to keep it looking as natural as it did in person, it’s not all that difficult grading film, although I’m sure many could do a far better job then I. And I have my film processing done at Neglab in Sydney Australia and the 4K scan done at memorlab in Melbourne. Hope that helps ! Good luck and thank you for the kind words !❤️
The music I’ve used I’ve found just be listening to a lot of different stuff as I’m in the edit, trying to find something that I feel suits the flow of cuts ect.
It is yes, I brought the image in slightly to remove the original frame lines and inconsistent edge roundness, so I had to bake it slightly more boxy, but the original is around 4:3 Thank you btw !
@@ssimplefilms Is the 6.5K worthwhile or overkill? What do you usually choose? Because this film looked exceptional and I'd want this level of quality out of my scans
Thank you and Not at all!, I really wanted to keep the movement’s minimal to allow the subtle changes within the environment to be more apparent, I do see what you mean though 😊
4k in super 8??????????????????? super 8?????? less than 8mm?? but in 4k??? HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO SCAN 8MM ON 4K AND NOT BLURRED LIKE VHS TAPE? (sorry for my broken english.)
Legend, Thankyou ! I believe it was sent to björn Anderson in Europe for a professional refurb a few years ago, I had purchased it from a local here I aus who had a few and was willing to part with one… I paid for it though, wasn’t cheap haha
This is the best looking super 8 footage I’ve ever seen
Thank you very much, although the camera did do a lot of the heavy lifting in regards to sharpness haha
This is the best transferred, edited, corrected and stabilized Super8 footage I've ever seen.
I cannot stop watching this, I have never seen 8mm look this amazing.
thank you kindly !
Very beautiful and inspiring. There's nothing like film...
Greatly appreciated ❤️
Stunning 8mm footage. The colour and composition are incredibly well done
Big love mate !
Cheers 💗
Very clean. Impressive.
Thanks 🙏
Incredible, never seen Super 8 so crispy! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, it can deliver some truly remarkable stuff sometimes
Stunning footage
Big love, thank you 🥰
Beautiful as always. Truly inspirational.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is art, so calming.❤
That means a lot !
Thank you 🙏
Magnificent cinematography
Appreciated as always !
Thank you for this great film. Good concept. The filmstock is brilliant. The camera has such a steady film transport/gate (Beaulieu is high-end after all)
And Thank you for the kind words !
It is an absolutely beautiful camera that is a joy to use !
This is brilliant!
💚
A masterpiece
🙏
👏👏👏 Your work is very good. Love the super 8/16mm film stuff.
Thanks a lot!
Really incredible.
🧡
Beautiful images thank you. Did you add some image stabilization for this?
Big love thank you ❤️
I did yes, I kept it minimal and the camera itself isn’t bad, I’ve had much worse but I do give it a little aid in steadiness to lessen the distraction where I can
I can't believe this is super 8. I'd wage it 16mm
I was just as shocked, especially with the 50D results
@@ssimplefilmswhat kind of scans did you have done? The footage looks great!
Too beautiful to be true
Big love, thank you 🙏
Looks beautiful. Especially the water at 2:19 absolutely stunning.
Was there much post processing done besides colour grading?
I appreciate that thank you !
I did add a little post stabilisation just to remove a little gate jitter, but not a great deal extra
Love it
Cheers !
Beautiful images. Where did you scan this material?
Hi Thanks for sharing this too :)

Really beautiful footage. How intense was the grade on this?
Thank you very much.
Not hugely involved, I tend to grade for a short while then return the next day to see it with a fresh perspective. I do that a lot so that’s probably the most tedious part, is the time combined, but it’s pretty easy to grade film
This is so beutiful. What lens did you use to achieve such sharpness? Was it the optivarion 6-66?
Appreciate the love!, this was shot with the 6-70 version
Superb, a great piece in any format, amazing for super 8. Would love to know if you were shooting at 18 or 24 fps.
Cheers Kent !
I almost always shoot at 24, but sometimes a higher speeds if necessary. I think the last shot with the water ripping was at 70fps
Fantastic. Question: dissolves.. in camera? Or post? Thanks for all of your films!
Thank you 🙏
These are all done in post, I’m never sure how I’ll place anything in an edit until I’m in it, so I like keeping my shots long and clean so I can do this stuff later
Thanks for being my favourite TH-cam channel❤
I can’t thank you enough for that kind of feedback, deeply appreciated 💗
Lovely footage! Did you sharpen it in post, in any way?
Thank you !
I added an almost unnoticeable amount, just to tighten it up a little,

this is very nice to see and ear, the music and images goes so well together. Did you use the optivaron 6-66 1.8 or the 6-70 1.4 ?
Thank you 🙏
This was with the 6-70
Is the sharpness down to the camera? How does one get such beautiful results?
The camera and lens definitely go along way, especially with 50D super 8. Can look very crisp !

Well done. Where do you get your film processed?
Thankyou!
I use a lab in Sydney called neglab
Where did you get your Beaulieu serviced?
It was done by björn andersson, works beautifully!
Do you use the same tripod for Super 8 as you do for 16mm? And where do you find your music? It’s always so calming.
I have a miller tripod, I use it with both my 16 and 8, it’s a good size for both
The music I’ve used I’ve found just be listening to a lot of different stuff as I’m in the edit, trying to find something that I feel suits the flow of cuts ect.
Amazing!
What aspect ratio is this? It looks a little smaller than a 4:3?
It is yes, I brought the image in slightly to remove the original frame lines and inconsistent edge roundness, so I had to bake it slightly more boxy, but the original is around 4:3
Thank you btw !
Amazing! Did you shoot this at 24 fps?
Thank you !
I shot this at various speeds, 18/24 and occasionally 80fps for the bees and fire
@@ssimplefilms Epic. Thanks!
What lens? Did you have the lens collimated to the camera?
I haven’t had it done, it may have in the past as it has been serviced.
This camera has a Schneider-Kreuznach Beaulieu-Optivaron f: 1.4 \ F: 6-70 mm
Top qualität.
Cheers🙏
Amazing. What resolution did you get it scanned at?
I guess 1000000k….
I believe they scan at 6.5k and deliver it in 4K
But I’m not entirely sure
@@ssimplefilms Is the 6.5K worthwhile or overkill? What do you usually choose? Because this film looked exceptional and I'd want this level of quality out of my scans
a 2k (2048 pixels across) scan would capture all the grain and details
Beautiful footage, but so little movement that you might as well use photos. Hope I don't offend you
Thank you and Not at all!,
I really wanted to keep the movement’s minimal to allow the subtle changes within the environment to be more apparent,
I do see what you mean though 😊
Have I mentioned how much I hate you enough times? 😉😂 always wonderful work
I’ll take the hate any day 🫡
The support goes a long way mate, thank you 🙏
4k in super 8??????????????????? super 8?????? less than 8mm?? but in 4k??? HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO SCAN 8MM ON 4K AND NOT BLURRED LIKE VHS TAPE? (sorry for my broken english.)
I guess scanning technology has come a long way, it is impressive from something smaller than a fingernail though !
@@ssimplefilms and what do you think about film technology? enhanced grain?
Big fan of your works mate! Follow you on Insta aswell! I’m looking into servicing mine, wondering where you got yours done?
Legend, Thankyou !
I believe it was sent to björn Anderson in Europe for a professional refurb a few years ago,
I had purchased it from a local here I aus who had a few and was willing to part with one… I paid for it though, wasn’t cheap haha
