Welcome to Cinema Repository, a place we dump our filmmaking content because unfortunately, someone already has the name narrow gauge films reserved. We discuss shooting on film, from Super 8 and 16mm, all the way through 35mm and large format. Our channel goes in depth discussing pre-production, production and post production. We also have a series all about film restoration and servicing film cameras. So please, check out this channel and don't forget to visit our company at www.narrowgaugefilms.com for more info! Thanks
ORWO NC400 Initial Test
This is our first test, of the slightly more orange layer OWRO stock called NC400. It's a 400 ISO stock similar to the NC500, however it has a more orange emulsion layer, making the colors be more vibrant and closer to other stocks from Kodak. This test shows two clips at the beginning, off the scanner and then corrected, the other clips are only corrected. The common perforation issues and wobble we saw with NC500 are present in this stock as well. There is no difference, thus we didn't bother showing the perforations.
Stock was shot at 200 ISO because several other tests by. other people, conformed 200 ISO to be the best density wise and we agree with this initial assessment. NC500 was improperly rated as well, so we shot everything in this test at 200 ISO and it appears to be good.
We will have a more comprehensive test shortly, we are still shooting that part of the test.

Film should not drag on the floor
waiting for the ARRICAM video, cheers
@@4maccie Yea sorry, been super busy. I’ll work on it next.
So glad you replied. Another super interesting one you should do, is a proper video about film camera prep (steadiness, charts, frame.leader exc). Thanks you re the man. Best from Italy
Where is the film?
Here ya go! We will have it posted once we have the package ready. vimeo.com/658164874
Epic movie.
So cool to see this older formats in use.
Would you rate the NC400 as a 200asa stovk for the best c colour rendition and dynamic range?
@@Lenox-bp3lu I rated this test at 200, I think it works well.
Any idea how loud an Aaton 35 II is?
34db when tuned, it's 2db louder than a 35III
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS, HOW DO I GET AHOLD OF A FLATBED EDITOR
Let us all be very thankful for Christopher Nolan's use of IMAX on Oppenheimer! And also thanks for this video man, and for the whole series. I wish I had discovered all of this a long while ago!
I've been flirting with the idea of 35mm recently. Fundamentally its prohibitively expensive for me at the moment. Also I find the 16mm just looks more filmic and is more reminiscent of some of my favourite 80s and 90s films. I think for independent makers the 16mm setup is a lot more manageable on set. Honestly I'm so grateful the 16mm format exists and is at least somewhat accessible for independent film makers. I love it !
@@PeterConnell90 Yea, I have been working on a bunch of personal 35mm projects and ya know, I kinda gave up and sold all my 35mm gear in 2022. Value of all of it was high and I got out. 16mm is easier to deal with and has a more filmic look. 35mm almost looks digital with a good scan and presentation. It’s almost like you’re spending money on something that is indistinguishable from digital so why bother? Only one of those projects is worth watching or available at this time, if you wanna check it out; vimeo.com/658164874
@@CinemaRepository yeh i know what you mean. I have found that with 70mm too, can almost look digital. There is a sweet spot. I guess 35mm scans back in the day weren't as good so almost looks like 16mm, I'm thinking of cape fear for example or similar. Though the close ups of cilian murphy on 70mm oppenheimer were still incredibly filmic. I wouldn't say no to the opportunity. I'll check out that vimeo link thanks
oof the steam around that train at 3:38, thats just made for film
@@PeterConnell90 Yea it was such a fun shoot moving engines around all night and placing lights, woooo yaaaaa!
gorgeous footage, what a luxury to see
@@PeterConnell90 Thanks so much. Lots of hard work and patience, did lead to a nice product. Our 2nd film is complete as well, just waiting for final VO. We have 5 more in various states of pre production, production and post production. All shot on 16mm. So stick around, lots more coming in the next year or so.
@@CinemaRepository I've subscribed and am looking forward to seeing them. Going to watch some more of your stuff now, its excellent

What lens u used on this camera, looks so amazing just like 16mm
Why HDR when negatives are 2.5D/0.3 = 8 stops not 15. Velvia is 4.2D/0.3 = 14 stops.
@@jzagaja Velvia is like 4 stops. We shoot it a lot, very narrow DR.
what you refer is exposure latitude. I'm talking about dynamic range of film - density range. To read shadows of Velvia you need 15 stops scanner. Drum scanners could deliver very organic scans. Velvia compress everything into shadows. It's good for darkroom projection or HDR.
@@jzagaja I will have to try multi exposure capture.
I had macro capture of Kodak Vision through Redcam. It has good color response. You just needed to apply log curve, invert and set white points. Colors were great without corrections. You can do scanner yourself using digicam and good lens. It's all about soft to properly register frames.
To me an ideal cine scanner would be line DMD panel and PMT sensor with 16 bit ADC. Not to slow and not the fastest. In drum scanner it was scanning every point and you could set resolution by varying aperture and drum speed that's why nice look but there was encoder register error. CMOS scanners must oversample to not mix film grain with Bayer sensor or aliasing.
Awesome, that means I will develope my 135 rolls in E6!
@@v-g-z3689 It’ll come out weird but you can fix it in the scan.
@@CinemaRepository Erm... sorry, but fortunately, I'm not one of these analogue and digital mixing scanners, I use slide film for the exact purpose of not having to deal with all that stuff. The question is, how clear is the base, and do they use the same for 135 still and 16mm motion picture? Maked color negative film of course is not very usable for slide developement. Unmasked film is much more likely to work, I don´t mind a warm tone at all, but it really depends, I´ll have to give it a try. The projected film looks good here in the video but of course I´m quite a fiew meters away from the source. In case someone didn´t get it: I don´t scan film, and especially slide film. By the way, I don´t scan film... .D
@@v-g-z3689 Hmm, you may need to test what filters you’ll need to help remove the orange layer. I’d probably think an 81A would be fine for outdoor 5600k, you’d be fine. We didn’t test it further because it still looked like crap.
@@CinemaRepository That´s what I was thinking. The 81A might just be it, I have to give it a try, I don´t mind if the colours aren't quite right, and I love the grainyness of the material. Having 24 DIN sensitivity is also a good perspective as there is no higher speed slide film avaliable, just 18 and 21 DIN. And 9,50€ per roll I´m not complaining ;)
Skin tone is better than NC500. Perforation still imperfect. Grain is huge compare Kodak Vision or even Ektachrome. They should improve it or make it twice cheaper than Kodak, maybe it is not possible for small factory. But they trying to restart motion picture production and community respect and support them for that, cause it better than nothing.
I wish the emulsion was consistent. It's very bad, pulsing non stop.
@@CinemaRepository Are you able to compensate for that in color correction or no?
@@koekje00005 Well you saw the video, that's about the best I can do. It's very wonky. I have been wanting to do another test on NC500, but seeing as our stock is now over 2 years old, IDK if it's worth it.
So what do you expect from it as a reversal? Will it behave similar to your already tested NC500 in need of even more blue filtering because of that even stronger orange layer?
@@michaelpetersenfilm I think it would come out the same a as the NC500
Thanks for the hard work you put into this. I'm going to stick with the Kodak family for my Bolex Rex and Cine-Kodak Model K cameras. 🤭🤭🤭
Ren'em spoons!
I would just be happy with single projection cinerama today in 70mm.
Grear to see you on set. So cool, calm & collected. The shots looked really nice.
Thanks!
What scanner?
We use a Film Fabric HDS + for scanning. Check out our instagram @tye1138 and you'll see more about what we do. Thanks for asking
Nice Elmo.
Hello! would you be interested in selling the camera?
where you have developed the film?:)
Прекрасно!👌
The close ups at the end were a nice touch. Great shots
Great shots! Since I am a fan of old trains, I love the shots with the steamers. Looks like narrow gauge. The NC 400 still looks pretty rough on Super 16, especially considering that it's actually more like a 200/250. I trust ORWO will be able to refine it and hopefully bring out 200 and 50 ISO box speed films with finer grain. Colors look nice after your grading, which of course brings out grain. ORWO should pay you, since you are an unbiased, professional tester providing feedback. Thanks for uploading. I look forward to the upcoming test.
Very interesting, I think this is the beginning of this emulsion and that the dominant ones will be removed, subsequently
Yea, NC200 will be next. I bet it’s even more fine tuned. They may figure it out eventually, but this is better than NC500 for sure.
@ 2:20 Oops!
Great test, I did the same with my Bolex Rex 16mm and with 4 of my Bolex B8, B8L, D8L and L8 8mm models. I also use Spectra Film and Video for E6 develop only and send out my negatives film to other labs for processing and scanning. Thanks for posting. Hope you fixed that camera...
Shooting home movies on Super8 in 1990? I wonder, why. Late 1980s - early 1990s were all about camcorders. SVHS launched in 1987, Hi8 in 1989, and Hi8 looks pretty good, in fact good enough for some professional productions. You would get a 120-minute cassette for about $15, it was re-recordable and watchable on a TV. Hi8 camcorders were expensive though.
It was a transition period and I was poor. The film camera and projector kit we got in 1987 was the only thing I had to shoot with. So when we bought a bunch of cartridges cheap, I just kept shooting until they were gone. At the time we had a junky mono VHS machine and a 19” Trinitron from the late 70s. Some of the Kodachrome stuff I shot is far higher quality than Hi8, which I did use quite a bit in the 90s.
I think Ektachrome Reversal is for me in 16mm
I remember vividly seeing How the West Was Won at the Denver Cooper Theater in 1963. I was 15 years old at the time and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. What an incredible experience it was, from the assigned seating, the intermission in the lobby with no food or drink in the theater and the overall ambiance of that wondrous Cooper Theater with unbelievable 7 channel sound.....all lost today. I saw several movies in that Denver theater and was able to see the three-strip How the West Was Won twice in 1963. Wonderful memories.
It is a cool experience. Very unique for its day. I wish people cared about the cinema like that today.
Quick Question: did you ever do a video on how to replace the super capacitors?? I’m doing a shoot soon with this camera and I need to get these batteries changed 🥵 Or if you have any good resources please let me know🙂 Thanks again for these episodes. SUPER helpful
On the 35III body or on the mags? Feel free to hit me up on instagram @tye1138
Thank you so much. Literally so helpful
A magnificent motion picture experience
So, it stayed sort of in sync for 40 seconds and it started to diverge at about 20 seconds, not something you would use for journalism. I've been reading on the topic lately, and the invention of a sync sound system that allowed to have picture and sound in sync for a whole roll while recording the sound separately, it was a very big deal back in the early 1960s. There is a 1960 film called "Primary", which was shot kind of in sync, but not really, so it took them serious efforts to more or less sync it in post using whatever primitive tech they had. You may want to delve deeper into the issue of sync sound as it is a fascinating topic.
It was for sure not usable, because it doesn’t just get slower, it’s not consistent enough in its speed. So even if you corrected the shot, it would be wrong in multiple places. I’d say you’d get two sentences of dialog before it’s out sadly.
@@CinemaRepository To clarify, I meant the Bolex :)
@@TinLeadHammer Yea it falls out too fast.
Hi, I like the 8/16/33 mm look. But is there cheap alternative? Getting the footage developed and digitized is hardly affordable if you want to shoot a full length analog film (and dont want to use pseudo-analog digital filter.)
Not really, gotta raise the money and do it for real sadly.
@@CinemaRepository thanks for the answer
I shot Agfachrome 160 as my only color 120 emulsion in the Pacific Northwest in the 1990's because the vegetation was correctly rendered. Kodak and Fuji were garish by comparison. Im going to have to try a 35mm roll of this @ 160 and add different filters to see how well that works. If anyone thinks skin shouldn't have a greenish brown cast in nature, they've never shot portraits in the Hoh rain forest.
incredible restoration work. Im amazed you were able to bring back so much of the original color
Check out Fresh Ground Pictures channel, the guy made a scanner out of an old film projector and a digital camera, no fancy computer stuff, just a pin activating shutter on the camera. He then processes in DaVinci Resolve, and the result is impressive if time consuming.
Hmm, the emulsion number clearly has "7" as the first digit, not "6" :)
Thank god our audience can see! Clearly I can’t lol 😂
Great info! As for Super 8, I don't even want to know what you think about the $4.5K Kodak camera :)
$5500 + tax and limited quantities. We will have one at the end of April to do a full test. I’ve already used it, not impressed. I’ll have to be nice about it in our review tho.
Wow, can you imagine...? Three rolls same time and change it chapter by chapter and on what a huge Film it is? Its big and long. Its so great that modern technique can bring and show this without stripes on BluRay, and i am glad that i watched this with my beloved dad , a huge Fan of classic Westerns two times shortly before he died. I have a BIG Flat TV 75 " (or so) and it was real Cinema feeling, it is the only Movie where i had to move my head from side to side to see all the details left and right. A friend of mine isnt in Westerns but THIS Movie is one of his favs.
Loving your whole channel right now!
What an achievement. Excellent job. I have been getting back in to shooting motion picture, and this is the kind of stuff I really admire. Hey, may I ask how the credit "cleanup" is defined? What roles are handled during "cleanup?"
Well, kodak released a batch of bad 7203 50D stock. We had 9 400ft rolls of it, which made the majority of this film. I was livid getting the film home and seeing it full of micro scratches. I talked to my reps who confirmed it was a problem. They graciously gave me new stock but it didn’t solve my problem. So we used Phoenix restoration software to do an automated cleanup pass. If ya look carefully at the pro res 4k 12 bit 444 file on a grading monitor, you can still see the issues. However, it’s way better than it was. All the dark areas were horrible prior to cleanup. Luckily, we haven’t had a lick of issues since. We have 5 more of these films in various forms of production and post to be released in the next two years. So stick around!
Hope you actually put out that K3 video.
Someday!
