best way to keep super 8 cartridges before and after shooting ?

[Xuoan]

Hi,

I will shoot in a few days my first super 8 short movie in Paris, France. I interrogate myself about how to keep my super 8 cartridge before and after shooting...

Some guys from the crew are telling me that I can keep them in the fridge or not... that doesn't really matter. But in fact, I want the best condition for my super 8 films not only what is decently working.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've put my Tri-X cartridges in a closed tupperware in the fridge which is around 10?C. Should I keep them there ?

Each day of shoot, a buddy will bring the exposed film to the lab. But I may shoot other cartridge after this time, as the lab is closing early. Should I also keep my exposed film in the fridge before bringing them to the lab on the next day ?

Thanks to anybody who may have the patience to read my message and also to those who will help me ! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers from France

Keep the film cold before and after shooting if/when possible.

One thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to shoot the film while it is still cold. Let it warm up for about 2 hours before up put it in the camera.

Good Luck
