I've been using Sophocles for story/script development and Celtx for collaboration. The workflow is a little more manual than I'd like going between the two, but Celtx is pretty cool. FWIW, I really like the tools Sophocles provides for structure/story/character development. Final Draft may have sim...

Maybe this has been mentioned here before, maybe even in this thread, which I can't claim to have read all of... But this seems to be a feature documentary shot at least partially on Super 8: Mississippi Chicken showing this weekend at the Austin Film Festival. I think I'll be seeing it Saturday, so...

http://www.rg4n.org/ That's my neighborhood association fighting the development of a new, 24-hour gigantic supercenter in my freaking neighborhood. We're suing our fair city for violating their own permitting process. There are actually many city council members who think we are right, but they're ...

I think you'll get at least 500 on ebay, maybe more with a really enthusiastic ad. It's my favorite S8 camera and I'd be tempted myself if I didn't already have an 801 and 801M in beaten but serviceable condition...

It can easily be done in your bath room (or anywhere with a sink). If the room is not light tight you can buy a dark bag for £10.00 (in the uk) to load the tank in and the rest can be done in the light. I agree with all that, but... have you really loaded a lomo spiral in a changing bag? Maybe I...

You don't need B/W to be hot -- that's for color. For B/W chemistry, room temp (68-72 F) will do. I use a thermometer to make sure the water isn't too hot or cold, but B/W is forgiving of temperature over/under.

A quick update on this purchase... I have moved the Angenieux 10x12 B, which is in amazing condition, over to my non-automatic R16 that Bjorn serviced a couple of years ago. I have the reinforcing turret plate attached to deal with the additional weight of the lens. For whatever reason -- maybe b/c ...
