Color filmstock for super-8 

Information about some stock

Kodak, Fuji, Wittner, Pro8mm.com:
  1. Kodak Ektachrome 64T: This new Super 8 mm format film offers excellent color reproduction, fine grain and high sharpness. EKTACHROME 64T Color Reversal Film 7280 is a 64-speed tungsten balanced film with outstanding reciprocity characteristics, which give consistent color balance over a wide range of exposures. The film process is E-6.
  2. Kodak VISION2 500T: Offers the lowest grain available for clean, crisp images; improved neutral tone scale; and more flexibility in both film and digital postproduction.
  3. Kodak VISION2 200T: Color Negative Film 7217 is highly versatile and reliable. Offering excellent image structure under a wide variety of lighting conditions. And now 200T Film also enables you to shoot all scenes for digital compositing on the same stock.
  4. Fuji Velvia 50 Daylight reversal: Tests have shown grain and sharpness to be similar to Kodachrome 40 film (and far superior to Ektachrome 64T). Color and latitude, however, are better than K-40, offering more detail in the shadows and saturation in every hue pushed to the extreme!
  5. Pro8mm ASA 50 Daylight Negative:
    Latitude 5-stops of fine grain saturated colors with full chrominance. Best used in full sun, without shadows. Reformatted from 5245
  6. Pro8mm ASA 50 Daylight Negative:
    Latitude 7-stops of extreme fine grain. Sharpest super 8 film available. Shows fine detail in both image and color for very natural reproduction. Great for shooting flesh tones when there is an abundance of daylight used. Reformatted from Vision2 5201.
  7. Pro8mm ASA 100 Tungsten Negative:
    Latitude 7-stops of extreme fine grain. Sharpest super 8 film available shows fine detail in both image and color for very natural reproduction. This is great for shooting flesh tones when there is an abundance of light. Reformatted from Vision2 5212.
  8. Pro8mm ASA 250 Daylight Negative:
    Latitude 7-stops of fine grain and saturated colors for full chrominance. Reformatted from Eterna 63 250 D.
  9. Pro8mm ASA 400 Tungsten Negative:
    Latitude 7-stops of fine grain. It can be easily saturated while maintaining the subtle contrasts of skin tone. Reformatted from Fuji Eterna 400T.
  10. Pro8mm ASA 500 No Color Balance:
    Latitude 10-stop moderate grain. This the first of a new generation of film designed specifically for digital Mastering. This film has an incredible ample color space to render good flesh tones under mixed lights. Pro8/99 is very forgiving to mixed lighting situations. Reformatted from 5299 (premium stock)
  11. Wittner CHROME 100D, Color Reversal: Contains Kodak Ektachrome 100D (7285) Film.

From Ansco, Bell & Howell, Chinon, Fairchild, GAF, Geyer, Konica, Mamiya up to Revere, Ricoh or Wollensak. The first and only complete guide.

Video-transfer 

How to transfer to video

Ofcourse, there are different ways to transfer your (home-)movies to video. The easiest way is to just project it on a white screen and tape it with your video-cam. Remember: the lower the light, the better.

A better option is using a glass-screen, specially made for the purpose.

www.pro8mm.com will do it for you professionally.

Or with the video workmate or video cine-mate you can do it yourself.
