such a vibe especially at night
This is beautiful! I have a question. At 1:38 what causes the film exposure raise and the frames ramp up right before cutting?? Is there a technique to this or does the footage just come out like that, I've always wanted to do this for transitions between clips
Thanks so much! So from my understanding, this quick exposure jump is actually caused by the camera's motor and shutter slowing down when you stop running the camera. Especially on 16/35mm cameras with crystal sync, their motors take a fraction of a second to start running an exact 24fps, and then take a fraction of a second to slow down from that speed as well. When the camera slows down, it's still exposing footage, but it's at an increasingly lower framerate; so each frame that gets exposed until the camera stops gets more and more light exposure, thus causing the exposure ramp up. Cameras without crystal sync motors (or at least electronic motors) don't usually have this happen because they don't have to have precise speeds, so they can just stop and start more instantly. I think Super 8 cameras also don't have this happen as much because their motors are much simpler and don't take as much work to get running. Since it's basically just a brief moment of being overexposed, you could probably simulate this really easily in like Premiere/After Effects if you wanted to by just keyframng the exposure for the last couple of frames to have them become increasingly overexposed. Hope that helps!
@@CollinJacksonfilm Thats amazing, thank you so much for taking the time explain this! And again beautiful work on this :)
Very nice! I also own a CP-16 film camera I bought on ebay but it was butterfly shutter and I learned gate couldn't be converted to super-16, but regular 16 is fine just the way it is. To make this footage even better and cleaner I recommend using Davinci Resolve's denoiser and dehaze functions but only conservatively as to not destroy the grain. Best Regards :)
Thank you so much! Yeah, I believe the non-reflex CP-16A cannot be converted to Super 16 while the reflex CP-16R can be, which is kinda odd, but oh well. I'm completely fine with normal 16mm as well, I've always had a soft spot for 4:3. Thanks for the suggestion! I usually just like keeping the film the way it is without cleaning it up or dehazing it and just doing some color correction to make the scan look more like if it was a print, but unfortunately UA-cam's compression did a number on this particular roll of film (I think the 500T's grain does not mix well with the YT compression), so that has made this particular film look a lot less clean and crisp than when watching it via the file on my hard drive. Oh well, best regards to you as well and thank you for watching!!
500T looks pretty damn good when you give it a big enough gate to see through. 16mm film handles the grain a lot better than 8mm. I would have no problem using 500T on 16mm not so much on 8mm. It still also maintains that 1970s aesthetic people go for.
hey man did you correct or use a filter for 1:04 or were all those lights tungsten? they look white
This was essentially a short end of a 400' roll from a project I had shot and I needed to "waste" the film before I sent it to the lab, so I just walked around campus and shot the rest of the film, so I didn't bother with any filters or anything. It also isn't the greatest color correction (I can't even remember how much I tried color-correcting with this short end), but I've since done a better color grade in Resolve, although I just realized I haven't uploaded it to UA-cam with the re-color. I might re-upload the better version!
Fun to watch! Nice to see people shooting film. Question though...Have you shot footage with that Canon Scoopic 16 (Gray) that appears in one of your videos? I have that camera, but need batteries re-celled. I was just wondering what your thoughts might be on that camera.
Thank you! Unfortunately, I had a very similar problem - I was never able to find a battery for it while I had the camera, so I ended up selling the Scoopic in order to help pay for the CP-16 that I shot the footage here with. I never was able to shoot any footage with the Scoopic unfortunately… all the footage I have seen that was shot with it looks great though. Best of luck to you with your Scoopic!
