We are getting started on film-making with black and white "retro film". We are trying out cameras and film stocks. This is our best so far.<br />"Fomapan 100 negative" Standard-8mm aka Double-8mm<br />DIY processing with "Rollei Supergrain" developer made up with water at 1+15<br />Developed for 8 min at 19 degC<br />This is a basic digitisation without any computer editing visual effects apart from "inverting" from negative to positive.<br />Most of the video editing work is in framing for presentation in a 16:9 format.<br /><br />First up is the Crown 8 camera. This extends the image into the sprocket hole areas so I have used that for a kind of semi-widescreen attempt.<br />The Canon Zoom 8 produces a more standard standard-8 image giving a simpler "pillarbox" presentation.<br />We have attempted a little lip sync sound with the Crown 8 and a separate Tascam sound recorder. The film needed a speed correction of 8 percent to give an approximate fit.<br />That means that on trying to set the Crown to 18 fps we got something more like 16.5 fps.<br /><br />More about us, the IAFilm Collective - (Independent Alternative Film) at:<br />https://iafilm.co.nz<br /><br />Music credit:<br />"Carefree" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)<br />Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License<br />http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
