Filmshooting

Thanks Al - what you have said makes sense. I suppose I'm most curious about shooting at 54fps and then transferring at 12fps. I wonder if the same problems of jerkyness would persist if the transfer was made this way...(??) Does that mean you would also play back at 12fps? or just transferring at ...

I've done this sometimes (film at 24fps & slow down at transfer / edit stage) & it will never look as good as filming at a faster frame rate. movement will look more jerky because you end up with 2 identical frames then a jump to the next. If you know you want a certain shot to play back in ...

what about in the UK, is the widescreen center the only place.? I loive in the Channel Islands of Jersey. The only place I've used is widescreen ctr (who mark up & send to Andec). Doesn't seem to be any links to UK processing labs on the onsuper8.org page, which is otherwise pretty comprehensiv...

direct to Andec in Berlin?

looks to have lots of good feedback & prices from the US are great because of the exchange rate.. 4x tri-x for under 30 quid + shipping

good luck

Any recommendations for a nice audio card w/breakout box for line-balanced input to the PC from the Nagra 4.2 (or whatever)? I've got a friend with a ProTools rack and I've been using that, but would be nice to have the capability at home... M-Audio do a good range - this one has balanced ins http:...

the 514xls manual lists the settings as:

artificial light: ASA 40 160 250
daylight: ASA 25 100 160

It's probably the same on the silent version?

Thanks,

I guess I'll just get a cart & do a quick test with each cam. I shoot more tri-x than K40 these days anyway..

Wondering if EKTACHROME 64T work with auto-exposure on most super 8 cameras? If not it's bad news for dumb-asses like me who rely on the auto exposure controls on their cameras! Anyone know??

looks like a eumig to me!

...Is that silver body aluminum like the Nizos are? hi Santo, No the body on the 881 seems to be more plastic type material to touch, not sure exactly what though.. ...How does it stack up next to the other cameras? I've still got my Nizo 3056 as one of only two super 8 cameras I own and think it's...
