It was on my porch when I got home! Immediately opened it up, tossed in the goodies and ran it twice to get some high PPM H0Cl and the SPRAYED THE SHIT OUTA THE BUDDHAS CANE!
Gonna see what it looks like in the AM and if thereās no weirdness (aka: i didnāt have such a high PPM H0Cl solution that something bad happens overnight) Iāll hose down the rest!
Ooof if you want to send another envelope with one or more master primes Iād be down to trade more beansā¦
Cool to see someone else here is in the video production realm. What kind of work do you do? Iāve always wanted to try one of the Davinci controllers but never could justify it.
Iām the senior technician of the largest Canadian non-for-profit artist-run centre for motion picture and video production. Optical printers, wet/dry darkroom, digital edit & colour correction suites, animation stands, non-linear flatbed editing.
Basically your one-stop-chop-shop for all things involving motion picture for screen, web or gallery.
Iām a big responsible child with expensive lego that has near infinite permutations allowing for near any form of creative expression.
Well now Iām reaaal jealous. Iāve been freelancing for a few years after a 5 year stint with CNET filming automotive material. Being near Detroit I get work from Ford, GM, Dodge, Chevrolet, Chrysler. Lots of content for internal use or new vehicle buyers. I enjoy it but that work is mostly for money. I love my film cameras and personal work is usually done on film. I havenāt touched them much this year but I recently pulled out my super 8 and geared her up with an anamorphic attachment lens. 4 rolls of Tri-X ready to burn
@ABushOfKush this makes me SOOO HAPPY as this is exactly the kind of shit I do at work!
The fact that youāre using a ābelly-boiā Nizo for your S8 beyond the anamorphic attachment lets me know you know your shit.
My rig uses anamorphics for 16mm projectors; only 1 stop loss and much smaller as itās less glass. First one used a 35mm theatrical scope which was a workout!
Last fun ātraditional training projectā I shot on super 8 was in a mosh pit, got it scanned as a 5k uncompressed image sequence and holy shart Iām never doing that again. (105gb of JPEGs per 2.5min reel )
The most fun experimental and screened work is this:
And I accidentally owned a workshop I was participating in where the technique involved applying resists to a single strip of film where through selective removals when processing results in either colour neg, colour pos, b&w pos, or B&w with Silver Hailide contamination.
Each participant shot a roll in advance to bring to the classā¦ so what I did blew everyoneās mind as most of the footage folks shot wasnāt actually planned outā¦ and I shot 1.5x anamorphic 16mm.
Love it! My anamorphic set up is a 2X 16mm projector lens housed in a FM focus adapter. Super sharp set up even wide open at f1.2. My digital set up for personal use is a trusty Blackmagic 4K Production camera. Canāt live without that global shutter!
Iāll share some links later but we should definitely keep in touch.
LOL! We had one of these in our Telecine (film to digital) room for this exact reason!
It died on us so I contacted my buddy at Blackmagic Designs Canada and he talked to his boss, who happens to be the head of the Canada side of things and we got donated their demo URSA classic as a replacement in support of the film centre.
I was floored, but they were up front: āthis camera was over designed, and WAY to heavy for folks these days so weāre just very happy itās going to be used and appreciated instead of sitting in storage gathering dust.ā
I bought mine about 7 years ago from a Lithuanian company called AnamorphicShop. Their website seems to be gone now. Was pricey but not for one moment have I regretted it. I also use the global shutter for film to video transfer. I need to get a better macro set up as an old 70-200 with diopters pointed straight into the projector without its lens is a bit rudimentary. Makes a really cool looking recording though.
Projector modded with dichoric filters behind the film gate with lens aimed at a front surface mirror which redirects the image through 1 diopter located near the mirror into the lens of the URSA which has yet another diopter.
The image focus is at the 1st diopter point so we match focus for the projection/camera lens at this point.
Itās basically what happens when you have someone that designed aerial optical printers and translated that workflow to video
Whatever it takes to record it in real time! Sure beats the hell out of frame by frame scanning in both time and money. Boy do those frame by frame scans look amazing though. I had my first roll through that nizo sent out for a 4k scan and if I had done a better job focusing, wow is it sharp. Some of the 5k and 6k scans Iāve seen on youtube are just gorgeous. Do you follow Adrian Cousins work on youtube? I could watch his uploads for hours.
Haha I guess by follow I mean Iāve been subscribed to his channel for a long long time. My online presence is here and digging through cool niche stuff on youtube. Thatās awesome that he submits work around. It certainly seems like youāve more than dipped your feet into many aspects of the visual arts!
