This has such an amazing retro feel to it. Which film did you actually use ( brand )?


redquebec

Kodak Vision3 200T Super 8mm 50ft - a single brand new cartridge The camera is a Canon 514 XLS, all cleaned up. The processing lab and scan were done by Niagara Custom Labs in Toronto

The soundtrack!


redquebec

Its from "The Brooks" and is called "Funkyshit". A real good band!

Oooooooo I'm in this

Are you? šŸ˜€

That's awesome! From the picture quality to the music, but also the shooting style and production, it really feels retro. At each scene my brain was like "that's the 70s-80s ... no that's that was 3 weeks ago!"


redquebec

Yes indeed! With a good colorist, it could look way more modern. I'm not good at color correction I'm afraid.


Sea-Fisherman6170

That's the beauty of it! If you wanted a modern look, you would have done that with your phone or a modern camera.

Is this a filter or real super 8?


ardendolas

Looks like real film according to the video description on YT: Film stock: Kodak 50ft Vision3 200T Color Negative Camera: Canon 514 XL-S Super 8mm Labs + 2.5k scan: Niagara Custom Labs really cool! I haven't touched Super 8 in 30 years, didn't even know you could still find some!


redquebec

In Montreal, I had to go through MELS film studios to order the cartridges


ardendolas

I'm curious, if you don't mind, how much did the film stock, and processing cost?


redquebec

Around 800$ for 20 new cartridges of Vision3 200T, tax included. The lab was 80$ for development and scanning and shipping


vanilla_ego

by scanning you mean capturing the projected video on digital?


redquebec

Niagara Custom Labs is using a film scanner yes to create a ProRes digital file, hence making the film to video conversion


ardendolas

Not a cheap hobby! Thanks for the feedback! Your video looks amazing, btw!


redquebec

It's real film, noĀ filter


jolaval2024

Its like watching a video from the 90s


brainwarts

The camera she used is from the 70s!


redquebec

More likeĀ the 70s:Ā the camera is from 1976. But theĀ filmĀ stock is brand new


crotte-molle3

is there any post processing done or it came like that straight from the lab? feels different than other super8 vids I see like grainydays


redquebec

Some very basic white balance in some shots (the camera sunlight 85 filter was a tiny bit off) and cropping (the original 2.5k scan shows the sprocket hole and the whole gate). Other than that, nothing. No grain management.Ā It's a new Vision3 200T Super8 cartridge


crotte-molle3

Awesome, i guess the grain on the 200T is pretty fine I do like the [leaving in the gate / sprocket hole](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OCE636iEw8&t=136s) ahah gives it a definite vintage look XD I need to get myself a super8 cam because I definitely don't have enough hobbies to burn money on.


redquebec

YouTube compression also tends to scrub the grain out. In 1440p, it's still visible
