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.
"Fomapan 100 negative" Standard-8mm aka Double-8mm
DIY processing with "Rollei Supergrain" developer made up with water at 1+15
Developed for 8 min at 19 degC
This is a basic digitisation without any computer editing visual effects apart from "inverting" from negative to positive.
Most of the video editing work is in framing for presentation in a 16:9 format.
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.
The Canon Zoom 8 produces a more standard standard-8 image giving a simpler "pillarbox" presentation.
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.
That means that on trying to set the Crown to 18 fps we got something more like 16.5 fps.
