16mm stills

I posted some stills from a 16mm short I made.

I posted the stills here at exposure's community fotki.

The film was not telecined. It was the poor man's transfer - video taping the projected footage. Not too shaby, but certainly reduces the quality.

None of the footage of the posted stills has been color corrected.

The images, for some reason, seem to get slightly squeezed when posted on fotki.

Thank you.

They look good...

What are the details on the stock and moreover what are the details on the project??

Good Luck

those look great. Some techy info would be good, if you can be arsed - such as stock, camera, lighting?

Nice one

...and expenses...

looks really good.

Looks like a really well exposed negative to me. Maybe you could get someone to put up the telecine funds based on the strength of this?

All of it was Kodak 7239 EI160. It's a daylight film, which means I had to gel the lights for indoors, although I didnt always gel the lights, there were times when the redish orange worked out, other times when it did not.

This was just a simple little short, no crew, just me, except for one shot, I had one friend help me with.

All shot with the Angenieux 12-120mm zoom lense, which sometimes had to be opened up all the way, zoomed in to 120...I had no Focus Puller. Many of the shots came out a bit soft, you can see it in some of the stills.

It was shot with a very old wind-up Bell and Howell two-forty.

This is what the camera looks like. This is not the actual camera I used, I found this image on the web. The lens is not the same as I used. Yes...it is an antique. But quite solid.

I will not be professionally transferring this film. This is the end of the line. Its got too many flaws.

I've edited a rough cut, but am redoing it. Maybe when it's done I'll put it up. I'll probably screen it with Flicker.

Im in the market for a nice new camera. Nigel, you still sellin your Aaton? I'll give you fifty bucks!

How much Nigel?

I was trying to get $15,000 USD for it but that may not happen...I don't think I could go any lower than $11,000 USD.

Why you want it??

Good Luck

Hopefully you will shoot some more film and help push these video junkies onto the real stuff.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Especially since my footage was transferred cheaply. Poor man's method. And the results are still damn good. Also considering that you an get the same camera I used on ebay for as low as $20!!!! The Angenieux zoom lens goes for anywhere from $300 -$800.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Still working on the edit. Planning my next film, which I expect to beging shooting in about 2 months, on 16mm.

I will let you hold it for 10 minutes for fifty bucks...

Actually, I am still open to selling it but I haven't been actively trying.

The stills look good. Hopefully you will shoot some more film and help push these video junkies onto the real stuff.

Good Luck
