I am a film aficionado since 70-ties. Oh yes - 8 mm of course. To these days I have tons of "8 mm memories on reels" Anything "higher" than 8mm was only a dream back then. I was living in Poland. 16 mm camera I could only see on store display with price tag equal 6 to 10 months of earning. Bygone era? No! Suddenly you are coming with bunch of your wonderful videos. Thank you so, so very much. It is really like time machine comes true. With all magic wonderfully preserved. I wish you all the joy, you gave me!
Thank you for getting a bunch of experienced veterans together and showing us how they work. It's absolutely awesome to see years of experience on the set, one can learn a lot from this irregardless of the fact that they are using old equipment.
What a gem of a video. I'm 25 years old, I've never seen a film camera in real life. But I've watched old TV programmes shot on films and they look so much better than those modern digital monsters. This is fascinating
awesome to see these gentlemen setting up a set in 25min with 5 men crew. how nice, relaxed and focused everybody is. i had to this with a crew of me and the camera assistent in less then 10 min. the assi doing the sound also and me doing the ligthing and camera prep. while the director having a cuppa tea with the protagonist. from beta sp to hd. would die for had been doing it back then.
Hi, very interesting video...i listen 2 people about Eclair NPR camera. One said to me to be enthusiast. The other one said to me that Eclair NPR 16 it's a good camera, but not to work, because the magazine is difficult to load and the claw damaged the film. Is it correct? What is your experience? Many many thanks :)
Back in those days you worked with what the production company, in this case the BBC, supplied. This isn't the channel for your hobby support where you don't have the time, focus or patience to not learn how to load a 'difficult magazine' that pros used day in day out for years.
Next part of this session: th-cam.com/video/C7ik39EY1cg/w-d-xo.html and there's a multi-angle version at th-cam.com/video/BDlKVGtxXpo/w-d-xo.html . Hopefully the 16mm is digitised soon.
