The Super 8 film format is back with a vengence! Fantastic new Super 8 test film footage shot by German filmmaker Friedemann Wachsmuth with the first new Super 8 camera in 30+ years !
Unbelievably sharp registration for such a tiny medium. I kept staring at the corners seeking weave. I believe the previous benchmark set by the 40+ year old Leicina Special with the same Schneider 6-66mm zoom lens has been surpassed. Bravo to the Danish team of Lasse Roedtnesand and his dad for a very impressive implementation and engineered transport. Kodak V3 50D color negative, 2K scan, Logmar S8 camera, Schneider 6-66mm zoom (C-Mount). Apprently there was some minor post processing by Friedemann as per his comment on Vimeo. https://vimeo.com/87243287 Logmar Camera Solutions: http://www.logmar.dk/ scan: Perry/GammaRayDigital and the LaserGraphics ScanStation (2K): http://www.gammaraydigital.com/ ----- OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY LOGMAR http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=62603 Posted Today, 04:36 AM Hi there! This morning I received some awesome footage from Friedemann, who has been out filming with our original prototype camera. I think it's worth sharing even though the camera used, is not the final production model which we are still waiting for our subcontractors to deliver parts for. The footage has been 2K scanned by the good folks over at GammaRayDigital in Boston. Head over to our webpage at www.Logmar.dk and visit our sample video section to have a look, but please bring your comments back here for everyone to view and enjoy! we would like to thank the following people for their support: The users of Cinematography.com and Filmshooting.com for their endless amount of good ideas and valuable feedback Friedemann Wachsmuth for writing the great article at Filmkorn.org, and volunteering as a beta tester.
