yeah i never export master tapes to dv either. i just archive my projects and any non-tape based media involved therewith. and camera originals of course. if it's something major, i'll break the un-transcoded mov into segments of 15 minutes to throw on data dvd's, which are far from archival, but at...

i have a 4080, with the box for the 6 1.2 vbatteries. i have a length of bolt, approx 1/4" in diameter, cut to the length of a aa battery. wrapped gaff tape around it until it's the width of a battery. when i use aa's (1.5 v,) i use 5, with the bolt thing as a "dummy." that drops the ...

yes. they are the old fashioned version of a depth-of field preview. the aperture (f stop) you set determines the depth of field. the orange dots will line up with one of the distances on the focus ring. the smaller your aperture (f22 being the smallest,) the deeper your depth of field. the orange d...

if your original reference stuff will be done in video, it's really easy to output your movie at 12 fps. usually with animation i shoot on twos-moving the cel/object/etc once for every 2 frames exposed. for most animation type stuff, (especially rotoscoping,) 12 fps is usually good enough. the major...

What I am proposing is to cut the notch on the 64T cartridge deeper so that it runs the same length as a notch on a 160asa cartridge (there is information about notch length available online.) By the way, I have seen this done before - someone has extended the length of the notch in the plastic of ...

well, we have the right to get abortions, for the next few weeks anyhow. we have the right to launch un-declared, preemptive wars against sovereign nations whose tyrannical dictators we armed in the first place. (well only a very few of us have the right to initiate these wars, but almost every adul...

a decent 35mm prime in that kind of focal length would cost you about the same as a sync-sound s16 camera with a lens.

i think they may be sending it off to the guy in the uk who does these mods. someone help me with the name... also, i don't understand the bit about the lens not being wide enough. a nikon bayonet mount is much bigger than a c-mount. not to mention it's designed to cover 35mm film. am i missing some...

well there are 2 versions- a reflex and a non-reflex. i believe there are 2 slightly different shutter angles also. the reflexes (preferable) are usually about 3-6k depending on lens, mags, seller, etc. comparing cp16s to cams like bolex, filmo is apples to oranges. the latter cams are strictly m.o....

yeah that show has been on forever. it used to be on the travel channel and it was then called "lonely planet." they kept the same hosts and the same super8 cutaways and moved it to pbs and changed the name. the girl kind of annoys me. there is (was?) another host who was a brit and wherev...

it's funny i just checked out this thread and i'd been fantasizing about this digital back thing myself. i guess great minds think alike. what got me started on this line of thought was that i've been really eagerly following progress on the kinetta. as we get closer to shipping time, it seems like ...

it'll be wound very tight- there shouldn't be any spaghetti problems. the core adapter in your mag is what the core goes on. (you will need a takeup core.) if you take off the core adapter, you can stick daylight spools in your mag. (why anyone would do this i don't know.) well, it would make sense ...

there is some really nice contemporary super8 skate footage on this: http://stores.musictoday.com/store/product.asp?dept%5Fid=1205&pf%5Fid=PXAM02&band%5Fid=444&sfid=2 the same guys did a few others i haven't seen yet. actually plexifilm has several titles with beautiful super8. they're t...
