How to Shoot with Super 16 Film
Вставка

- In this video I walk through the process of shooting super 16 film. Not going to film school made the process seem intimidating as there are a lot of things to learn. However, once you have someone walk you through it, it's not too bad. Join me as I walk through my process of setting up a super 16 camera for filming.

Great overview Arthur. The last time I shot a film on 16mm was 1974! I’d love to try it again. I would for sure if I had an Aaton like yours!
Thank you very much for making video on film cameras
Please make more videos like this sir....
On film cameras, film stocks, film lab process
We are waiting for this kind of videos
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yeaah man !! Make more videos !!!!
Great video. I shoot Super 8 but 16mm terrifies me. I chuckled at the end because your 'peace' sign with your fingers reversed means 'up yours' where I come from.
Man I'd love to have the money to work with one of those
Work -> save -> repeat then buy lol. It’s how I did it
I've been yearning for these types of videos; I'm getting ready to shoot a short film later this year, and every project I work on I want to be shot on film. Please continue to make these videos, I beg of you!
What else would you like to see?
@@arthurwoo I would love to see the difference in using 50D vs 500T, what benefits and disadvantage of using each. Also, the different filters used for 500T in daylight. Maybe the process of pushing and pulling the film; I've pushed and pulled b&w film stocks for photography, but I'm not sure how the process works when shooting films. Also, reviewing different lenses for 16mm if that's possible. I'm just really passionate about shooting film but there just really isn't anything out there about the process of doing it. Sorry for long reply, just a couple things off the top of my head.
@@TweetBomb Thank you! I will keep these in mind.
This is a wonderful video.
Thanks!
this was a great! Man, I'm dying to shoot some Vison3 500T. I'm going to use some for my photography shoots.
Just catching up on messages, thanks! Film is fun!
Im working up to getting a silent-crystal-sync 16mm. Right now im at the Bolex Reflex stage. I love it. I keep saying that I'll sell my Bolex for an Arriflex, or Eclair... but i love it too much.
Great Info, thanks for Sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
This just answered so many questions I had about film. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
Glad your back!
Also thanks for removing the video about certain lenses. The prices on eBay have skyrocketed
Which lenses?
Great video. I shoot Super !6 on an Arri Sr2 Highspeed. Film has a certain look that can't be duplicated on digital
Thanks for watching! Agreed on the look. Though Steve Yedlin ASC has an interesting thought on that - check out his website for 'display prep demo'
arthur woo thanks I’ll check it out. My film is developed at the same lab in NYC. Metro post. I’m very excited about trying out Kodak’s Ektachrome 100. Can you recommend any workshops that teach film in NYC? I’m only an hour outside NYC
@@michaelhunt1368 Awesome! Metro Post is great. I can't say I know of any workshops in NYC. People I know who learned film either learned it from someone else, on set, or in film school. Then going out to experiment with it and finding people online to talk to about it!
Thanks for the vid. It will be nice to see some footage!
Maybe in a future video!
Why is everyone shouting!
No but seriously great video ;)
I so want to get into 16mm. That is a awesome camera. I know what that is. I agree I need help.
Usually you have planned your shots interior or exterior and therefore you have decided what film(ISO) will be in the camera for that particular shot. If you are changing the ISO during this time even on digital it means you didnt plan enough for your shoot. Unless you have a crazy idea out of the blue... most DP and crew have everything all planned out because usually with film you have a pre-light session where you are already taking exposure readings and figuring out where all of the lights are going to be placed so you arent wasting time on the shoot day with all of this preliminary decision making. its all decided all accounted for. Even the lenses are placed in order. A camera crew is amazing group of coordinated efforts everyone knows their job and executes like a clockwork..
Here's a perspective to look at it from: Film in all sorts of environments is fairly regular amongst a bunch of people I know, as well as myself. Commercial, doc, branded, etc. I carry 2 ASAs when shooting doc or branded, one for day, and one for evening. Because we don't always know where we'll end up.
There's nothing like good old fashioned film.
Totally agree!
Can't wait for the next vid!
*hats off*
Thanks! What other types of videos would you be interested in seeing?
@@arthurwoo I would glad if you make a video about how the 70mm film works. But maybe about the camera mechanical is good enough for the next vid 👍
Great video, thanks for making it! :)
Thanks!
Great video. Those are amazing cameras and hard to find. Expensive when you do!
Totally agree!
You're the best!
Thank you very much for the tutorial 🙏🏿
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hey Arthur. In this video you mention a 16mm camera discussion/comparison. Curious if that is posted yet. I took a shooting on film class at the local independent filmmaker society and shot on an Arri SR1, and am looking to maybe get an Aaton XTR or LTR. Curious if you have used each of these. The instructor teaches at SAIT and says the Aaton is pretty sweet. Thx.
really useful video, thanks:)
Thanks!
Very Informative. Thank you!

That was an excellent video
Thank you!
thank you!
Thanks!
Hello, what do you say, about buying, a Bollex 16
MM camera in a second
Hand store?
I personally would only buy a used camera body at a reputable dealer who is able to get the camera inspected and would know what to look for to make sure it works properly.
How long will raw stock last? I still have my 7293 sitting in my Freezer for the last 17 years unopened, I think Kodak discontinued this stock.
Just getting around to these questions - no idea how long they last. Wow 17 years, that's crazy!
@@arthurwoo thanks.
Excellent! Thanks very much. Question; do you Clients expect you to shoot in video? Or are you hired because of how and what you shoot? Thanks
Most of the time, the people I've worked with expect digital as the format that will be used on their projects. I've used film for a few directors who wanted that specific look of 16mm.
arthur woo Thanks. Looking forward to your next video.
Hello, I have some , 16mms films that my , Grandfather shot. I'm worried
That there shinking, is there away to fix it ?
I'm not sure about that! Try giving my preferred film scan place in NYC a call to see if they can give you any advice, Metropolis post: metpostny.com
Thanks! Would you please do a video on color correcting/grading a scan with practical showing it
Check out my channel, there’s another video “deconstructing a color grade” using super 16 scanned footage
@@arthurwoo awesome, thanks!
Hello
Haha. The Aaton xtr is not on the market. You can't find them anywhere and if you do they are expensive as hell.
I recently discovered that. Just 3 years ago they were still around and weren't super expensive. Unfortunate, it's a great camera.
@@arthurwoo What do you think about the Canon scoopic 16m. That's more in my price range and they seem to be readily available right now. Only downsides that I see are it's 100 ft magazine and the lens can not be changed. I've seen footage from them that looks incredible and footage that looks worse than super 8 so I'm not too sure about it.
@@yeahrightbear8883 Not familiar with that one. I'm always hesitant about systems w/o an interchangeable lens. The quality could be from the quality of the scanning device used after the film is developed. From what I've heard, it's why people only go to certain places to get their scans done, because a lower quality one can produce less than optimal results.
so how much did it cost per roll of film to be processed?
I bring it to a local place in NYC that sends it off for development + scanning in-house and it's added onto one bill. I forget what the rate is off the top of my head, I think around 0.63 cents per foot if I remember correctly. So multiply that rate by however many feet of film is shot and you have your cost.
arthur woo thank you 😊
