    The images you took with the camera were incredible!
    I did a 16mm workshop with a Bolex last year. We filmed in black & white after the theoretical part. It was very interesting. I posted the result on my channel.
    Your video is very good!

    I’m surprised you didn’t get your film all scratched. When you put the take up spool the second time you actually put the film behind the lever to pop up the spools. But i’m sure you noticed that while you were editing this video, sorry for being that annoying guy who had to tell you hahah

      Me too honestly. When I did load it I remember it didn’t feel right and hearing a scratching sound. Thankfully the footage was fine

    I wonder how analog film is converted to digital for UA-cam. Please someone explain to me

    • @MattAitia
      @MattAitia  9 днів тому +1

      Similar to how 35mm still photographs are scanned. The film is developed and each frame is scanned to create a 24fps motion picture

    Great work ! why the format is 4:3 and not 16:9 ? is it super 16 film stock or just regular 16mm?

    • @MattAitia

      @@kristicifci5389 The film is the same for regular 16 and super 16. It is the camera that has to have the larger gate for super 16. With a regular 16 camera you still could crop the image to 16:9 if you framed accordingly. A good scan would give you that quality to zoom in. The framing in this beautiful video is very well done for 4:3 and would not be great to crop.
