My super 8 short has a life of it's own.

[Greg Crawford]

The most important shots of my short film (the graveyard scene were filmed last weekend. )

Some of the more important shots, I shot with two types of film stock.

Ektachrome T125
Pro-8's T200.

It will be interesting to see the comparison I might post some still frames from this test.

I still need to film the "front story" of the older woman coming back home to visit her parents in Michigan. I am considering shooting these scenes, mainly driving shots in 35mm! ( I also own a old Arri 2-A .)

Cost 2-1/2 min. of Pro 8 film $35.00
2 min of the same film from Dr. Raw Stock in 35mm. .15 per foot. development running around .15 cents a foot brings me to .30 per foot x 200 (little over 2 min.) $60.00

I would be doing this to give the film a different look.

Would this give me a 35 mm short with super 8 flashbacks? Or would the quality differences be to extreme?

I'm just going to focus on the cost differences. Have you compared new Kodak 35mm to new Super-8 film? I assume Dr. Raw Stock is selling you recans?

I have not. It's not totally a cost think, but I would not even consider 35mm the new unopened price of .95 cents a foot. (I'm guessing).

For the driving scenes I am waiting for the leaves to fall of the trees and more of a foreboding winter look. The car turns past a mortuary a type and shadow of the things to come.

I am also thinking of desaturating the color. lighting the INT car with a 1/2 CTB and correcting with an 81EF to give the EXT a more foreboding colder feel.

I would think that not many super 8 filmmakers have thought about the price differences with 35...maybe 16.

On one posts I read a while back, their was a discussion going on how to shoot a difficult
night EXT scene from a car. Without lighting it and bags of grain. Super 8 has it's good points but at some point it might be an easier fix to think of shooting in another format.
