There is double perf 16mm, and Double 8mm which is double perf 16 with an extra set of sprocket holes such that if split it becomes Reg. 8mm. Yes Double 8mm could be shot in a 16mm camera or in a Reg.8 mm camera. Then it could be spit or not split, yielding several possible "special effects":
1. shot in Reg. 8 camera, not split= frame quarters seen, one side upside down unless anticipated in shooting. 2. shot in 16mm, then split = flicker effect, alternate frame quadrants. See example below. 3. shot in 16mm camera, projected one sprocket displaced= half screen effect, horizontal split, top and bottom of frame. 4. shot in 16mm camera, double exposed in 8mm camera, then split. Any number of possible variations or possible multiple exposures with this kind of thinking. 5. who knows what you might come up with. Here is a film that was double 8mm film stock shot in a 16mm camera, meant to be used simply as 16mm, but I accidentally slit it, so there ended up two rolls (the two halves) of Reg. 8 with the flicker effect of alternating quadrants, then, after telecine, I juxtaposed the two halves side by side in "chronological shooting order" in fcp, yielding this double screen effect with the rather mysterious connections between the two halves. Note that one half of the split double 8mm had to be telecined as A-wind, the other half B-wind in order for this to properly work out. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=l4cNZLv5o9M&list=UUhNv2f1M4EKeyTB68E_n5dg&index=8&feature=plcp Myron Ort On Jan 23, 2012, at 4:03 PM, Steven Gladstone wrote: > On 1/23/12 6:21 PM, Myron Ort wrote: >> double perf versus double 8mm > > I always thought you could shoot double 8mm in 16mm, and when it was > processed you would just have an extra set of unused perfs (might be a > problem with frame lines if you were off by a perf.)
