Guest Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Kodak makes good super8 film. Call any Kodak shop and see if they can refer you to where you can pick it up and who can process it. I think it's a lot more common than you'd believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$360 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 im glad you started this thread i have a question of my own. i got a camera(which dosnt work) off of e bay. when the camera came there was a half used roll of super 8 in there. i shot the other half in rhode island and took it to be developed. heres my problem, the chemicals used to develop are now obsolete, and have been since the late 80's. its KODACHROME 2 by kodak and i dont really kow what do. the guy who works at the developing company told me a story of when he had a roll of this stuff. he said after searching for about 3 months he avenually found a branch of kodak that would develope it. so he sent it in and the waiting began. it took them a year and a month to get it back to him, after he call them almost every month asking about it. when they sent it to him they told him this:the film is almost obsolete, so we have to make a special batch of chemicals for it. we waited until we have enough of the film to make a batch, which take a while because again, its almost obsolete. so im wondering, does anyone have a roll that we can send in together?or maybe a place that will develop it quicker? let me know it kind of looks like this: http://www.bavaria-cinehome.de/Super8/Filmmaterial/Kodachrome40_16.gif'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 dont trust walmart. you only want kodak professionals foing the work. and besides... it's not like you've got a air date and need the turn around that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloc131 Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 would it be a wise investment to purchase a light meter so i can have an idea of what will come out and what will not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 a light meter is a good investment because you can use it in all of your photographic projects. They take a little bit of work to learn but it's a great tool to have. I still think the best thing to do is just to shoot a roll of film as a test in all types of lighting and screen the results just to make sure the camera is working and that you'll get the results you want. even with the perfect exposure and a good light meter, a registration problem or a light leak or even a hair in the gate can send your project to poopsville.

Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I dont really have much personal work. Almost everything I do is for various production companies that own the rights to the final product. I haven't made a personal film project since I was in film school. I should just go out and shoot some shit and make something. Fun over function.

Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 work is all function and little fun so it's important to swap the priorities. good to hear you were taking notes mang. It might be a good idea to shoot slates every time you make a major change in exposure or anything. Slates are the best way to keep track of the footage. However if you're doing the whole edit in camera then slates wont look so hot. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
