i found one at my step dads junk removal and wanted to make a last day of school short film for fun but didn't know how to work it, so thank you so much!!
Cracked up at the squeaky door sound effects with the reviere!! Michael, you're like everybody's favorite kooky uncle, You know, the one that when you're seven years old at the Fourth of July party says "hey I've got that two bucks I owe you!" And hands you a piece of folded up paper and watches as you gleefully open it it to find out it is literally, a picture of two buck deer on it. I loved it! 😂
As an "Older Adult", many years ago I took cinematography in college waaaaaay back in 1977. We used NIZO Super 8 cameras. LOVED IT! We also learned how to edit (by hand splice the film) and then later add sound track to the Super 8 film. I am so glad they still make the 8mm film! Can't wait for the color film to come out. I just found a Kodak Brownie Movie Camera Model 2 at an antique store. Only $20.00! It is in PERFECT condition. I want to try it out as soon as I can. HOW MUCH IS PROCESSING of the FILM????
I took videography but learned on beta. Still learned to manually splice...1995. Used midi and Tascam for audio. I honestly don't remember laying audio down to video
I just love your videos, thanks for making them again and again. They are informative, they get me excited about things I have yet to journey into, like video, but all the sounds effects and little ideas that go into the videos are great. Thanks again!!
So when ppl use hi8 or 8mm video was that supposed to be equal in quality to 8mm film? I worked with beta, 8mm and hi8 but never film. I'm falling in love with film. Still trying to learn about it though
its the size of the tape which makes the cassette smaller- the other main option is VHS-C which uses tape the same width as regular-sized VHS limiting size and runtime. Ironically its VHS-C you could say is more akin to the 8mm stuff that uses film because its "best" use at 30 mins is a series of videographic photos.
I love it. I have that exact camera and just came upon some extremely expired Kodachrome II film. Can't wait to give it a go. Any advice on how many stops to push expired film? 4 stops?
Unless you're home developing there are almost no options for getting old Kodachrome developed + BW is the only option. Why not shoot a fresh roll? (Old Kodachrome as BW - www.filmrescue.com/old-movie-film-developing/)
@@FilmPhotographyProject So funny you mention FRI. They're less than an hour's drive away from me. I just came upon the old Kodachrome. Thought I'd see what it looked like. Def going to purchase some fresh though!
I recently purchased "Kodak Instamatic M2" camera, just because someone at an antique stall was selling and the motor wasn't working with the shutter, but I still bought it in the hopes that I might bring it to life. Any ideas? Im supposed to get it delivered by tomorrow, along with Bell and Howell, which works. Im completely new to motion picture filming, only because I never got to have any of the cameras until now. Back in the 90s, I only got to shoot other people's automatic still cameras and I hated those because I never liked the idea of automatic. Anyway, recently, I started searching on local online shops and found some motion picture cameras, mostly 8mm and a super 8 and I purchased some, including Bolex 8mm. So i'll be trying to buy a lot of film from you, send you for processing and maybe scanning too, but I also want to buy a few projectors, but wont I have to edit the film physically for it or do I have to reconvert digital images edited back to film? Anyway, if you can do a video on how to make this thing run, I'd appreciate that. Any questions, I can answer once the product arrives. Thanks
If vintage movie cameras are not working there are no known fixes unless you can repair them yourself. We do not offer film prints from digital files - too expensive. If you plan on using a projector, shoot reversal film. Blog - Negative vs Reversal Film - filmphotographyproject.com/negative-film-vs-reversal-positive-film-whats-the-difference/
pretty much all the ones you had posted videos about haha the brownie Revere 88 or 80 or any decent cheap camera , although a focus free would be is the main interest I don't like to scale focus
@@briansegarra9312 Also keep an eye out for the Yashica 8 - like this model - www.ebay.com/itm/Yashica-8-cine-camera-8mm/233016039304?hash=item3640d69788:g:DkcAAOSw4KVbzDfc
Also very excited about the colour film coming! You mentioned it's reversal negative? Is it an actual negative film or Ektachrome? I got an old bolex I wanna fire up
Informative and funny video-film. I am just curious , since the double 8mm cameras are often cheaper than a spool of new film, why choose the simplest one, there are much better cameras to soot with?
some people like to step up and learn from the ground up to gain a better appreciation for the equipment and format instead of just storming through the proverbial game from square one with a lv 100 Mewtwo. they also make good propmaking bases when they wear out! y'know, props for your films!
The Electric 8 Zoom takes 25 foot spools of Regular 8mm film that you load into the Duex 8 cartridge that comes with the camera. However, this particular Kodak camera is plagued by a faulty plastic gear that almost always disintegrates making the camera inoperable. I have yet to come across an Electric 8 Zoom that works. I would recommend trying to find a different camera.
A question if I may. I would like to make super 8 overlays to use with digital video. They are used to "fake" the super 8 look with modern digital cameras, thus saving the processing costs. They are layered on digital footage then blended. I want to learn to do this. Are you familiar with what I am talking about? If so maybe you could steer me in the right direction to do this. Thanks.
Hey Michael, how can the shutter be at 1/30th of a second when silent film is at a frame rate of 18 frames per second? Also, how much does it cost to get 8mm developed? And who develops 8mm film? I still think super 8 is a better choice all around.
Regular 8mm is 16fps - 1/30th sec shutter The FPP offers Process/Scan Services - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/products/process-scan-service-super-8-regular-8mm-50-ft-rolls We have a few lab partners nation-wide. Super 8 for some, Regular 8 for others (Regular 8 cameras use beautiful D-Mount manual lenses)
You should license various sound tracks to people for use on their videos made from film. That would go along well with selling the film. Sound tracks make a big difference. Offer some compendium for download.
and I ordered one of them. the 4/60 one. no fun saver.. I bumped into a 215 brownie but I don't like how the spring jolts around. so figured **** it I'm going for the FPS camera they got.. shoulda done it first time round.. except it kept sitting around so I went and got the thing. I think transferring it to dvd would be better than USB but thats up to FPS. I've converted dvd's to mp4 easy. and vice versa. just easier with a disc (disk ) oh our spelling has gone to pots
I have a few rolls of undeveloped, very expired, Kodachrome II that needs to be developed. Is this something you guys could help me with? Heard caffenol can work as a substitute for the old K-12 process.. Or do you have any better way of doing it?
Hey! This is @antoniobourge I just finally got one after some years of using my bolex 8mm this is much more fun to use and less combersome i have 2 rolls of color and one b&w film coming ill post on my youtube later this summer, we have a big cast and as always im directing!!!

I wish film weren't so expensive. It's so beautiful. You just can't get that quality on anything else
Getting into the home video scene. Really excited to get this and do some stuff with it.
Great video! Just got a brownie and this video helped me learn a lot more about it!!
super helpful thanks for making this vid!
This video has been super handy, thanks a ton. Just picked up an old Funsaver at an antique store and can’t wait to try it out.

Informative and funny video-film. I am just curious , since the double 8mm cameras are often cheaper than a spool of new film, why choose the simplest one, there are much better cameras to soot with?
I've found the Kodak Brownie 8 cameras to be the most reliable and give the "widest" picture for folks looking to fill the 1920x1080 HD frame.

That may be a hot topic, but not here. We're only about shooting film.
@@FilmPhotographyProject gee I could have sworn you mentioned digitizing your film product.
@@steveloudon7491 Hi Steve, we always talk about digitizing movie film. Very different from adding "film look" overlay to digital footage.

Might give this a try at some point. I have a very old Nikkorex double 8mm camera. It actually has a motor inside and takes AA batteries !
