[Frameworks] Super 16 - Bolex H 16

2012-12-25 Thread Shumona Goel
Dear Friends, I have a Bolex H16. I have always used normal 16mm stock to shoot with this camera. However, Kodak (India) says that they can only import super 16mm black and white stock. I wanted to make sure it is possible for me to use Super 16mm stock with my bolex before ordering the same.

Hi Shumona, Yes it's the same - it's just single perf (so a super-16 camera can shoot a wider picture to the edge) Pip At 15:54 +0530 25/12/12, Shumona Goel wrote: Dear Friends, I have a Bolex H16. I have always used normal 16mm stock to shoot with this camera. However, Kodak (India) says

Thanks, Pip. In case I need to blow up to 35mm, how much picture will I lose? Is it possible to get the full normal 16mm frame in the blow up? On Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Pip Chodorov framewo...@re-voir.comwrote: Hi Shumona, Yes it's the same - it's just single perf (so a super-16

You don't have to lose any. The 16mm stock will capture a full 16mm frame. When you blow up you can choose how you frame it - whether the image remains 1.33 with black on the sides, or if you zoom in to make a 1.66 or 1.85 picture with the top and bottom cut off, or if you choose an academy

Ok, I just wanted to make sure before shooting. Do you have a lab you can recommend for processing 16mm and blow up to 35mm? The blow up is not yet confirmed (depends on sound issues) but would be good to be prepared from now. There are no labs in Bombay that are processing black and white

I'm sure many people on this list can recommend labs they have worked with. I work with Jack Rizzo metroj...@hotmail.com in New York. He is a good technician who can find solutions to problems and he is experimental-filmmaker-friendly! At 16:17 +0530 25/12/12, Shumona Goel wrote: Ok, I just

What they mean is that it's single-perf stock, so just check to see if your Bolex can run it-- the really old ones cannot (pre 1950 or so). There's a specific serial number cut-off which I can't recall now, but it can be easily found at many Bolex websites. Dear Friends, I have a
