Re: [Frameworks] a question about negative film stock for s-8mm

Hello, The colorist said that my material was not excellent, but well within the normal-to-good range for S8mm. He said I should have worked with reversal film, because Super-8 cameras were never designed and calibrated for negative stock and cannot thus yield good results on negative

Dear Florian, Your post is very inspiring and helpful, as was Buck Bito's. The guys at Nova Rolfim, the lab that was recommended to me, had indeed said that scanning negative would be more difficult and expensive then reversal film. Maybe they should have been more upfront and state that they

Dear Frameworkers, I have a question about film stock for Super-8mm. I am back from a scouting trip for a 16mm film project. I did all the location filming in Super-8mm because I wanted to use the material in the film as well. I worked with my Leicina Special with a Schneider Optivaron 6-66mm

Hi Marco, I've never been happy with Super-8 neg. and the loss of Ekta 100D spells the end of color Super-8 for me. Even on the most serious Super-8 scanner I know of in the U.S. at Cinelicious I see what you are complaining about when it comes to the skies and other areas that should be 'fluid'.

Hi Buck, Thanks so much about your reply. Sharp and really informative. I will wait for more replies but already want to react to your email. I had a look at the footage you linked. Yes, the sky looks terrible when shot with 200T and 500T, even when scanned at Cinelicious. Consistent with what I

Hi Marco, I just did a quick search and found a very promising test roll of S8 Vision3 50D on Vimeo. It seems to show that the fluidity you're looking for is possible with this stock: http://vimeo.com/62358313 -I'd love to see the comparison with Velvia you propose. --Good luck! ---Buck Lawrence
