Hey everyone! If you’ve gotten into 16mm film and want to learn how to color correct your LOG scans, I have a new tutorial up now: ua-cam.com/video/kPvrAfpgaQc/v-deo.html
Its worth it if you can put a crew together, also you can get movie companies like Lions gate, you send them a 15 min, ersion of your movie, and theyll finance you, Judging. y all the dogshit horrorfilms and such on netflix right now, any dipshit can make a movie. 16 mm is making a come back, its oldschool quality and it looks awesome, givesyour movie a lot of character.
I love the look of 16mm film so much… I don’t know if I have it in me to take that leap but you make the process feel so accessible! Thank you so much for this video.
This is fascinating! It’s not likely I’d ever do this myself, I just don’t shoot any serious video anymore, but I love knowing that there are businesses that still support these tools and film formats as an art form.
Great video! Thank you. I'm an old (retired) Medium Format (Mamiya 645 / 120) wedding photographer. There's nothing like shooting film. You have to really know what you're doing. Thanks to people like you, it's not such a lost art.
This video was so well done and so informative. I don’t think people understand the amount of work that goes into compiling and editing footage like this for a UA-cam video…I appreciate the time you put into this.
Brother thank you so much. You gave me again faith in this adventure. I just developed my first short film in ColorLab Rockville (awesome people also). But I was kind of frustrated because I waited too long to do it. It took me 12 years to developed after shutting. You showed that we can do a digital color correction in post. Thank you so much
I have these comic books from the seventies from when I was around five or six years old. The illustrators used a specific color table that looks exactly like the colors you see in a typical 16 mm film. Reds and yellows really pop out and the greens are really soft, olive kind of tone. Depending on how careful you shoot , it seems that there are no true blacks and whites in any picture which is also a thing that colorists seem to have taken advantage off (yeah, I am not a native English speaker... yet I hope you get what I am suggesting here, hypothetically) Somehow I really hope more and more people will reinvent this way of filming again. My parents and uncle did it (16mm),y grandparents (they did 8mm btw) too. It was pretty basic in the seventies till approximately somewhere in the nineties. It gives off something specific that really adds to the story you want to tell. Maybe that's also because one has to be very considerate during the process, like you're demonstrating in your video 😏
Just got blessed with a K3 today. Your video was an immense help and full of great info. Not sure if you're in LA but if so, let's get up and shoot. I shoot 35 and 120 too.
@@BraeHunziker just got my camera. So stoked on it! Thanks so much for the tutorial. How do you set the shutter speed? And use the asa knob? I’m not sure what it’s saying lol
I’m an animator looking to get into the aesthetic of 90s anime, which uses 16mm film, giving it that grit and beautiful colors. My expertise is more related to the animation side of things, and figuring out how to make traditional cels has been a fun process. However, transferring those cels to 16 mm film has had me scratching my head. I’m completely new to cameras, but I figure they just took photos of the cels frame-by-frame in consistent lighting. Is there an affordable camera (and a good tripod that can hold it in place) to that uses 16 mm film that I can shoot my cels frame-by-frame? Thanks in advance!
Hahah oh no... I feel like it is mandatory to bring this camera along every adventure of mine now lol ps: hope your trip was still fantastic aside from the lack of 16mm 😉
Wow, I have to say before seeing your video I thought the idea of shooting on film would be too complex or too expensive for any of my projects. After watching this you have convinced me that it is 100% possible, thank you so much for this incredibly informative video. I'm even more excited to begin my current project with all this new knowledge. Thanks a ton man!
this is such a helpful video oh my god! i have a character in the 70’s who’s an uber film nerd and looking for camera models in that era has been such a chooooooore. great video ^_^ !❤️
Thank you so much for making a video about this. I bought a modified K3 from someone in Russia (maybe it was Max lol) a few years back but never actually tried shooting with it because it seemed overwhelming. I shot lots of Super 8 in the past and finally wanted to take that next step. I kinda pushed it off after trying to find the best value between buying raw stock and dev+scan. I even reached out to some of the bigger labs like Pro8 and others for advice but never got replies. So, thanks for the great lab and scanning recommendations as well. I think I'll finally try it out!
Heck yeah dude no prob!! Video and film solutions is great and Nicholas coyle is super helpful with answering any questions. Hope ya get a chance to go out and shoot it 🤠 thanks for watching the vid!
@@ChurchsPinkfuzzy I still have it sitting on the shelf behind me, still works and is like when i got it but would rather sell it versus risk it getting damaged sitting around. I was going to get a 16mm camera with crystal sync but prices went sooooooooo high that I couldnt afford it anymore and gave up on the film project even digital cameras soared in cost to be out of my budget right now.
I was the last film only class in my college back in the early 2000's. We used to use an Ariflex SR2, and damn if I still know how to load that film can with my eyes closed. The reason why you're seeing it resurge into the discussion is that the camera costs are all in the secondary market, and there's a glut of them... at least for now. But with the UA-cam hype market working it's magic, it probably won't be long till they're like the Contax T2, The Leica M6, Xpan, Pantex 6/7, etc. If you want it, get into it now.
This video is an incredible resource man. My K3 just got delivered from Max. So excited to get started thank you for such an in depth breakdown, giving away insane gems here. Props to u for doing the opposite of gatekeeping
I am from the analog age and worked a ot on 16mm and 35mm. It´s great that people like you keep the spirit alive!!! I don´t want to be a smart ass but I think the reason the lens has no problem is that the frame of your camera is basically still 1:1.33 normal 16mm with the left removed. The black part on the right was used for sound with regular 16mm and used by S-16mm for picture. Since the middle of this new frame moves to the right the mount of the camera has to be refitted. I checked your frame by measuring the frame on YOU TUBE. S-16mm has a ratio of 1:1,77 it was the analog 16:9 format. Normally enlarged to 35 mm and slightly cropped for a 1:1.85 release.
Welp, I used to have blissful technical ignorance as an excuse not to shoot 16mm, but having watched this I know pretty much everything I need to to get going. Gonna have to find a new excuse lool 💸
I’ve been getting into film pretty heavy recently and your channel has been of great help and inspiration! We all appreciate what you do, keep doing you homie ✌🏻
Thanks for the excellent information my guy, I've been wanting to try my hand in cinefilm solely because I love the aesthetic and vibe of it; this has changed my mind from super 8 to 16mm. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. Thank you.
Dude great video, you virtually described my exact trajectory in entering the 16mm world too! I also built a relationship with Max from k3super16 when I bought mine from him. Aside from the always awesome @Kyle McDougall's video, I didn't see a tonne of good media on starting out on 16mm. I then came across the also awesome @Lewis Potts - who is an incredible DP - and an Aussie (represent!) who along with Kyle, I think have the 2 best youtube channels on both shooting and also film making. No BS, strong, short no-filler, and after shooting for 10 years, I still learn things from both of their videos (also big shout out to @wandering DP). I thought that I would make a K-3 16mm 101 video, to give back to the community but you've done a far better job than I would've ever done! Sub from me, keep up the great work, man.
Wow! Examples of shots are magically beautiful, so much air, the atmosphere of a warm evening, the breath of a pine forest. I love the presence of the divine error in the structure of the emulsion. Such an image cannot be obtained by Alexa or any other digital camera. Very professional video, thank you very much.
I recently just got into medium format film photography and I found an old super eight in my grandma‘s basement and I thought it would be cool to maybe get Hey there! I came across your video and it really inspired me. My camera hasn't been working because of something to do with the motor, and I kind of gave up on it. But after watching your video, I'm feeling really inspired and now I want to shoot some super cool stuff too!
Going to use all these guys !! Services I have like three projects coming up!! Also bought my camera with Max! I recommend buying with him, he is super help full!
I bought one 10 years ago with my roommate from a guy on a offers website. At the time was really cheap. He told us it was modificated to what I called "Double 16mm" (I'm French Maybe this is used for Super16 with a 1.66 ratio ?). We planned to shot some things, at the time, there was almost no footages of this camera on the web, only a few tests and a -good- short movie about two guys in a blue old car on the beach)... But we never did anything and the camera, in a really good shape, is sleeping in a closet. Seeing much more videos about it on UA-cam today makes me want to make it live ! 10 years ago, only ONE last lab in France was able to develop the film, in the case of the "double 16" (guy told me they need a machine to cut the film in half on all the tape length, does is sound normal ?). Plus film was already expensive. Thanks for the video
Awesome video! The K-3, if you get one in perfect working order, is a fantastic camera and by far the best bang for the buck. I own and use a K-3 and despite its limitations, I love it to bits. I personally prefer the Super 16 format, which can be quite the hassle. The available re-centering rings are cheaply made and can cause focus problems. The widened gates need polishing and the viewfinder is more difficult to use. BUT after fixing these issues, the results are stunning. Anyway: keep on shooting 16mm film, it looks fantastic!
Thanks for the comment! I actually watched all of your videos on the K-3 leading up to my purchase. They were very informative and helpful, so thank you!
@@BraeHunziker Thank you! Glad you find it helpful. Inspiring people to grab a film camera and shoot real film is the reason I make these videos in the first place. PS best of luck for your future projects!
@@michaelpetersenfilm yep. You need to take out the baffle plate and the gate. Make sure you have the correct screwdrivers. You polish the gate with very fine sandpaper (1000 and then 2000 grid or higher) and fine machine oil. The idea is to take out and burr and sharp edges. I can post the links to great YT videos on how to do that. Please let me know.
@@truefilm6991 Thanks Christian, was it in one of your great ones? I saw them all but it wasn't necessary at the time. And I even had bought this K-3 "scratch free" ha ha! There is a little dirt spot at the top and bottom of the gate where it was widened. Will get that sandpaper! And I have fresh sewing machine oil. Do you know who does S-16 conversion of the Bolex Reflex at the moment? They offer full S-16 viewing when converted, with the K-3 you have to guess more image to the right.
I finished the video and immediately went to researching 16mm development costs in the UK. Should've really expected to pay the Hunziker tax when I watched the video, but hey, great video, man!
Interestingly enough, I do a lot of scanning work for international clients as well. Some of them will send the film out to VFS for processing and then have them forward it to me for scanning and online delivery. Even with shipping it ends up saving some money
at old school film supply shops they sell gate cleaning toothpicks. Its a small pack of little wooden sticks you use to rub on the metal gate of your camera. This absolutely grabs any hair/dust clinging to the gate.
Loved the video! I’ve had my k3 for almost a year now and I still havent shot a single roll (even tho I have 5 rolls waiting in the fridge) but this video made me wanna go out and shoot!
Thank you so much. I been wanting to make a short film on 16mm, didn't know how to go about. Your break down was very helpful. Thanks again keep up the good work.
To top it off, the Krasnogorsk-3 actually looks like a cinema motion film camera vs the other ones that look like a piece of hardware for a refrigerator! Unfortunately, prices have been going up for these cameras too. I want to start shooting film for one of my channels, and I'm looking at this camera or also old school Arriflex 35mm which are about 2k sometimes. Good to find a channel that talks about this. Everybody is trying to make digital to look like film, and I like that, but would like to shoot actual film too!
Hey, I didn’t know that .. am contenting myself with an H8 REX .. 8 .. reflex the go 4 sure. My instrument now CLA’d & fitted out with the 3 primes. Looking 4 the Vario Sweet 36 (no Electric Eye). Still exploring mine.
This is amazing information. Thank you so much. I acquired a couple older 8mm (including a Bolex) and some lesser known 16mm cameras that I have never used but always wanted to. The Krasnogorsk looks like a nice option too.
I am incredibly impressed that you lugged the K3 all the way through the Enchantments! Just followed both you and k3super16mm-let me know if you want to bop around Seattle! I just got a K3 in *rough* shape but I have a much better one on the way.
Dude. Loved this. Absolutely amazing (and informative) work as usual. Looking forward to you shooting all of your interior talking head shots on the Krasnogorsk from now on
I love that you advertised max s page! And so glad i found your page as well. I just bought a super 8 camera on a swiss page/side. But 16mm sounds so cool as well! (Also random, but was your family originally from Switzerland? The last name Hunziker is quite frequent in the region lucerne/argau where i live) 6:36 just saw new snippets and love the colours grading. Am amazed
Man, you are the best! I was so scared to even try and shoot 16mm, but after watching this, I think I am just gonna dive straight in and give it a shot!
8:41 I was always taught that the shutter speed should be double the frame rate. So, shouldn't the 24fps options be shot at about 1/50 instead of 1/60?
I believe it just has to do with the shutter angle of the camera. Certain Bolex models are the same way with different shutter speeds based on the shutter angle of that particular model.
Stoked to see the vids, Brae! I'm about to send my Beaulieu 4008ZMII footage to be developed and scanned. Not 16mm but excited about motion picture nonetheless. And thank you, i was debating it and it just confirmed that i'll tick the 'LOG scan' for my scans. Can't wait for your next motion picture films! ✌🏻
I bought this camera from Max 4 or 5 months ago, i shot 2 rolls with it, films still in the fridge because idk which lab i can send it to! the problem is! i live in Saudi Arabia, no labs here, sending a film outside is too expensive. this video got me exited i guess i'm gonna send them next month.
@@BraeHunziker FINALLY got the chance to develop it from Video & Film Solutions also scanned by Nicholas Coyle, had to send them all the way from Saudi! shipping cost me 150$..... i came up with this: ua-cam.com/video/J0fzVU4rdGU/v-deo.html
Excellent primer on the world of 16mm shooting. The detailed and clean, wide shots provided visuals that made this easy to follow along with and appealing.
200T is probably ideal for your ND situation. You'll get an aperture of f8 for bright sun light shots with a 3 stop ND and you can still shoot some tungsten light indoor scenes with it.
I have a "keystone A-9 Criterion Deluxe". It is a wonderful camera, just make sure you get a single-perf one! the A-12 is also excellent, it just has a dual lens turret.
I still own a Canon Scoopic camera and made an adapter for the Panasonic 7200 anamorphic lens, I should try to get my old indie films scanned thanks for the tips !

Uhhhh, thank you god of 16mm - this is so thorough it’s nuts. Incredible work.
Haha thank you dude 😌
Seconded. This is absolutely everything I was looking for!

Agreed Bob! So cool that there are efforts to keep it alive.
What cameras do you prefer
The colours look just incredible
16mm doing its thing!
I’m going to need to use this thing when I come out. Was already looking at Super 8 and now I just want to skip over that 😅😅😅
Same…
Haha just do it honestly 😆

My new K-3 Super 16 does make the common scratch at the widened gate :-( How and with what do you polish? Unscrewing the gate with the 3 screws?
@@michaelpetersenfilm yep. You need to take out the baffle plate and the gate. Make sure you have the correct screwdrivers. You polish the gate with very fine sandpaper (1000 and then 2000 grid or higher) and fine machine oil. The idea is to take out and burr and sharp edges. I can post the links to great YT videos on how to do that. Please let me know.
@@truefilm6991 Thanks Christian, was it in one of your great ones? I saw them all but it wasn't necessary at the time. And I even had bought this K-3 "scratch free" ha ha! There is a little dirt spot at the top and bottom of the gate where it was widened. Will get that sandpaper! And I have fresh sewing machine oil. Do you know who does S-16 conversion of the Bolex Reflex at the moment? They offer full S-16 viewing when converted, with the K-3 you have to guess more image to the right.
Just started looking into getting a 16mm camera so very happy this video came out at the perfect time :)
Let’s go!!
the guide i didnt know i needed but now i wont stop thinking about
Haha let's go!
Wonderful video. I've had my K3 for about a year and a half now and have never come across a video as useful and extensive as this one.
Thank you! Such a wonderful camera
Just found this channel and I’m pretty new to all of this but I think this channel will be an easy to learn guide for me. 🤞
I finished the video and immediately went to researching 16mm development costs in the UK. Should've really expected to pay the Hunziker tax when I watched the video, but hey, great video, man!
Interestingly enough, I do a lot of scanning work for international clients as well. Some of them will send the film out to VFS for processing and then have them forward it to me for scanning and online delivery. Even with shipping it ends up saving some money
Yooo, shout out to Tallahassee skate park. 02:56
Love my Krasnogorsk-3
Great cameras!
at old school film supply shops they sell gate cleaning toothpicks. Its a small pack of little wooden sticks you use to rub on the metal gate of your camera. This absolutely grabs any hair/dust clinging to the gate.
Loved the video! I’ve had my k3 for almost a year now and I still havent shot a single roll (even tho I have 5 rolls waiting in the fridge) but this video made me wanna go out and shoot!
I think the time has come! 🤠
man, get out there and shoot.
Thank you so much. I been wanting to make a short film on 16mm, didn't know how to go about. Your break down was very helpful. Thanks again keep up the good work.
No problem!
This is such a helpful video! Thank you for your insight & for keeping it straightforward!!! 🙌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for in-depth essay and links to where to buy the professionally converted camera
I just got a K3 from Max, too and could not be happier to start shooting after seeing this vid 🔥💪🏼😄🎞
Wooo let's go!!
cool bro !!!
@@k3super16mm max, you’re a legend!
Always amazing. Tell speedy e to open up in the UK
Haha now there's an idea!
Waitttt $18.00!?! wow! my thesis is about to look soooo good! so glad I found this video!!
This is very informative. Thank you so much for the effort.
No prob!
As someone trying to learn more about shooting on film, this video was very informative and helpful. Thanks Brae.
Glad it was useful!
To top it off, the Krasnogorsk-3 actually looks like a cinema motion film camera vs the other ones that look like a piece of hardware for a refrigerator! Unfortunately, prices have been going up for these cameras too. I want to start shooting film for one of my channels, and I'm looking at this camera or also old school Arriflex 35mm which are about 2k sometimes. Good to find a channel that talks about this. Everybody is trying to make digital to look like film, and I like that, but would like to shoot actual film too!
Very true!! Fun to shoot even if it’s only a couple times per year.
Nice one man, your footage looks great!!
Thank you sir! Thanks for the great info on your channel as well!
Hey, I didn’t know that .. am contenting myself with an H8 REX .. 8 .. reflex the go 4 sure. My instrument now CLA’d & fitted out with the 3 primes. Looking 4 the Vario Sweet 36 (no Electric Eye). Still exploring mine.
good video i really liked the look of those recording with the 16mm, and overall the quality of the video is incredible
Thank you!
This video alone makes me want to get back into film photography, or buy a 16mm camera
Can't recommend it enough!
This is amazing information. Thank you so much. I acquired a couple older 8mm (including a Bolex) and some lesser known 16mm cameras that I have never used but always wanted to. The Krasnogorsk looks like a nice option too.
Glad you enjoyed! Congrats on the recent pickups!
Watching this because I just snagged a Krasnogorsk-3 from eBay! It was only $570 too, which imo is a pretty good deal
👍👍👍
I am incredibly impressed that you lugged the K3 all the way through the Enchantments! Just followed both you and k3super16mm-let me know if you want to bop around Seattle! I just got a K3 in *rough* shape but I have a much better one on the way.
Yeah man it was brutal haha, worth it tho! Will do! Thanks for checking out the vid :)
Dude. Loved this. Absolutely amazing (and informative) work as usual. Looking forward to you shooting all of your interior talking head shots on the Krasnogorsk from now on
Haha I mean at least it would force me to nail my narrations on the first take 😅
I love that you advertised max s page! And so glad i found your page as well. I just bought a super 8 camera on a swiss page/side. But 16mm sounds so cool as well!
(Also random, but was your family originally from Switzerland? The last name Hunziker is quite frequent in the region lucerne/argau where i live)
6:36 just saw new snippets and love the colours grading. Am amazed
Yeah, 16mm is an amazing format!
My family name is Swiss! It originates from old Swiss tribes.
Thanks for watching!
need this one day
Great cameras
This is an unbelievable video man. I can't wait to try it myself.
Thank you!
I've watched this video too many times to count. Thanks for starting me on my 16mm film journey! Cheers!
Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!
Man, you are the best! I was so scared to even try and shoot 16mm, but after watching this, I think I am just gonna dive straight in and give it a shot!
Let's go! Love to hear that. Glad the video helped.
Beautiful work, I just uploaded my first test roll with my Krasnogorsk-3 Ultra 16mm. Thanks!
Just checked it out, looks awesome!! Heck yeah man
This video is just what I needed man. New sub, love your content!
Glad it helped!
8:41 I was always taught that the shutter speed should be double the frame rate.
So, shouldn't the 24fps options be shot at about 1/50 instead of 1/60?
I believe it just has to do with the shutter angle of the camera. Certain Bolex models are the same way with different shutter speeds based on the shutter angle of that particular model.
@@BraeHunziker Thanks for the info!
Stoked to see the vids, Brae! I'm about to send my Beaulieu 4008ZMII footage to be developed and scanned. Not 16mm but excited about motion picture nonetheless. And thank you, i was debating it and it just confirmed that i'll tick the 'LOG scan' for my scans. Can't wait for your next motion picture films! ✌🏻
Aye lets go! That's gonna be awesome dude.
I'm certainly contacting max!
Max is the man!
Dope! Thanks! Just got a K3 from a friend. Time to git some film.. Now i just have to git the lens cap off. It’s stuck.
Great video about the K3! Keep on shooting!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏻
I bought this camera from Max 4 or 5 months ago, i shot 2 rolls with it, films still in the fridge because idk which lab i can send it to! the problem is! i live in Saudi Arabia, no labs here, sending a film outside is too expensive. this video got me exited i guess i'm gonna send them next month.
Damn dude! Wish I had a solid recommendation for those outside of the US :/
@@BraeHunziker FINALLY got the chance to develop it from Video & Film Solutions also scanned by Nicholas Coyle, had to send them all the way from Saudi! shipping cost me 150$..... i came up with this:

My favorite 16 mm camera is a 28 v P-51 gunsight aiming camera...
I randomly came across this Video, I quite enjoyed it. This type of film is very interesting, I might look into it. Thank you!
Glad you found it interesting! Cheers :)
Love intro whisper sound
Hehe thanks!
Excellent primer on the world of 16mm shooting. The detailed and clean, wide shots provided visuals that made this easy to follow along with and appealing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I have a K3 super16 and the film always jams at the end of the reel. Any advice?
Thanks for this, my friend! Awesome Work! 🙏🏾
Thank you! Glad it helped.
@@BraeHunziker Very welcome! :)
200T is probably ideal for your ND situation. You'll get an aperture of f8 for bright sun light shots with a 3 stop ND and you can still shoot some tungsten light indoor scenes with it.
200T definitely seems like a versatile option! Thanks for the comment
Thanks for a thorough explanation dude. Beautiful footage too. I know what I’m getting for Christmas :D
Haha lets go!! Thanks dude
for christmas there will be gifts on my instagram !!! be sure to subscribe
@@k3super16mm thanks man, done 👊🏽
In 1972 I borrowed an old camera, not sure what kind and shot three minutes of 16mm film. That was the reel size. The cost was $15 for three minutes.
haha wow, wouldn't that be nice!
This is exactly what I needed🤯
Let’s go!
16mm looks so nice! I want one now 😭
hard to beat!
Well done, Brae! Thank you for shooting and keeping film alive!!
Thanks for watching!!
I have a "keystone A-9 Criterion Deluxe". It is a wonderful camera, just make sure you get a single-perf one! the A-12 is also excellent, it just has a dual lens turret.
What a cool camera, I bet it's a blast!
I still own a Canon Scoopic camera and made an adapter for the Panasonic 7200 anamorphic lens, I should try to get my old indie films scanned thanks for the tips !
Would be super rad!
Great video, tks!!! How does it work filming at night? Do you need a lot of light?
Super great video. Surprised to find this video two weeks later after posting when deciding to buy a 16mm camera
Thanks man! Funny how that works...
Hey wow I live right by Rockville. Thanks for the recommendation. Never heard about that place. This is a great video!
👊🏼
Nice, now I want to spend all my money on another new camera. Thanks Brae. Also, good choice adding the music ;)
Haha I feel you. What a tough hobby to have 🥴
