EUROPE ON 16MM | Shot on Krasnogorsk-3 Ultra16 | The Sights and Sounds of Europe

A collection of my favorite shots and moments captured in 16mm with Kodak Vision3 50D, 250D, and 500T. Complete with original sound design to help bring a more realistic portrayal of what was encountered. I spent 8 weeks traveling around Europe stoping in 10 countries and shooting 18 rolls of 100ft film.
Shot with Krasnogorsk-3 converted to Ultra16, f/1.9 17-69 mm zoom lens Meteor-5-1

Incredible footage, but your use of sound really ties it together. Brilliant stuff.

[@RoderickPhilipp]

awesome

[@thehydroblade]

Outstanding footage. I don't care how much you post-process 4/6k video, it never looks as "real" as good old 16mm film.

Absolutely beautiful man!!!

[@jacobpiller]

Thank you!

[@kraftpunk6654]

Absolutely gorgeous. Did you use a LUT?

[@southeastsomewhere]

How did u cut the edge of the frame ? What aspect ratio was that at 3.05? Look squary i like it

[@omarbazaldua7380]

Magic

[@johnwalbolt]

This quality is amazing. Did you use a light meter? Overexpose? Color grade?

[@jacobpiller]

Thank you! Yes I used a light meter app on my phone and always overexposed 1 or 2 stops. I got it scanned flat and brought out the colors through postproduction color grading

[@LordJagd]

@@jacobpiller Which light meter app did you use?

[@kenkamara]

Lovely vignettes. Just a question. The shots in the dark or near dark environments; what's were you settings ?

[@jacobpiller]

For the night time (near dark) shots I just opened my aperture all the way (f1.9) and had 500T in. I also raised the levels in post if it was super super dark.

[@kenkamara]

@@jacobpiller sweet. What did you rate the film at. The 500 t I mean?

[@jacobpiller]

@@kenkamara The 500t film is 500 iso film, so thats the iso I have to work with. The only settings this camera has are aperture and shutter speed. The shutter speed was 1/60

[@nicholastoo858]

Which roll did you use to record 4:15? I'm guessing night is 500T, overcast 250D, day 50D. Film is just beautiful. How it handles light, makes it very smooth.

[@jacobpiller]

I believe that was 50D. Thanks!

[@gavrill00]

Awesome! No need to say anything else

[@jacobpiller]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@jonasnavickas3904]

Some of the best k3 footage I’ve seen. Where did you develop/scan?

[@jacobpiller]

Thanks! Developed at Kodak Atlanta Lab, scanned by The Negative Space

[@Schneeeulenwetter]

so did you record it while you were there with a mic?

[@rothellecooke7425]

How did you pack the film for travel? Did you use any Film Shield Lead Laminated Bag Airport X-Ray Security?

[@jacobpiller]

I made them hand check every roll. However once in Europe I didn't fly so the only time for airport security was on the way there and back.

[@dancechaser]

So gorgeous. I can’t wait to capture the world in 16. I notice some shots you have a light leak on camera right. Do you know what causes that?

[@jacobpiller]

Thank you! Most of it was from the roll ending or starting. Usually the first and last 20 seconds have some light leaks.

[@myyutu2011]

Very nice! Which lens and film you used for it?

[@jacobpiller]

Thanks! Lens: Meteor-5-1zoom lens, f/1.9 17-69 mm. For film stock I used 50D, 250D, 500T
