Thanks for covering how the tungsten stock looks shot in daylight, that was super helpful to see how simply you corrected it. Great shots and use of the super8 too.
thank you dude! yeah, tungsten film stands no chance against a flat profile and some color correcting :) - makes you think about all the color correcting done to movies these days shot on film...
@@linusandhiscamera did you just use the automatic light meter for 500t, or did you make adjustments? I got another Bauer camera and love how yours turned out.
The only thing about super 8 to be intimidated by is the cost.
for sure!
How much to get the 4k flat with frame digitized ? (ballpark)
Definitely the only factor in doing it.
Yeah definitely but it feels like you’re shooting with gold it’s just beautiful. Ever since I saw the videos by majestic casual they literally changed my life, it’s so beautiful it can make others feel better who wouldn’t want that, I pay whatever price it needs! Let’s go
Nice tips! I recently shot a short film entirely on super 8 and can add some additional pointers. If you're shooting for a project, I strongly recommend using a tap measure for focus, because the old reflex viewfinders aren't as accurate as you'd hope so the zoom in and focus isn't always reliable (I learnt the hard way), but you can always trust the measurements on the lens. If you're filming in bright day light and the lens is stopped down, this shouldn't be an issue, but any low light situations is a must (or if you're good at eyeing off distances). Also, in my case, if you plan to shoot with sound be prepared for how loud the camera is while running. Although they no longer make super 8 sound cartridges, from my experience those old super 8 sound cameras run far quieter than regular ones if you're still looking to buy, although I wouldn't let that deter you, just buy whatever you can get - functionality is all pretty similar. If anyone is interested in checking out my film, its called The Abduction of Nancy Watkins, a true crime doc meets 50s/60s scifi, shot entirely on Kodaks black and white stock! czcams.com/video/Hc6fG3hmQxw/video.html
Thanks for this video sir!! I am very interested in purchasing a super 8 camera soon! I saw this model online. I wanna be able to create memories in a more movie/stylish way not just with an iPhone lense lmao. Out of all the super 8 cameras, this looks pretty straightforward and less complicated compared the other expensive Canon cameras
Best smile in the analog game. Love your vids, man.
haha thank you justin!
the quality of these videos got so great, you're just getting better and better man! Also I have the same Super-8 camera thanks to you haha, there are plenty Bauer cameras here in Austria.
thank you so much bernhard! hope you get out and shooting with it!!
Any recommendations of camera to look for ? I want to purchase something user friendly
bless you for this. I can't wait to start
Linus homie I'd give you a hug and a kiss for that first collection of film you showed, dope as fuck
hahahaha ayeee
Really nice work, on the shoot, your subjects and the post.
Only thing I might do different is not turn up highlights so much and rather turn up mids, high mids and low mids and bring shadows down same way you are doing but keep upper part of the curve in the mid, because if you turn up upper portion, you start to lose actual highlights and the glitter and shimmer. So sometimes even on digital, when you turn down your highlights, you are actually revealing the actual whites, that were otherwise hidden in bright light over the highs.
Just so beautiful, made my morning 😩
thank you fam!
From memory the slot on the top of the camera swings in a tungsten filter for when a movie light is attached. You can use a piece of an old credit card to activate it.
my fav video so far!! i have super 8 film from halloween i need to develop😭😭
omg favorite?!?! thank you!
Honestly super grateful you covered the topic, Linus! Phenomenal job on this video… but tell us something we don’t know! 👀
🙌🏼
Thanks for this vid! Was a huge help. Are you able to share the export settings in FCPX? Anytime I export, some of a footage is a little jittery and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Again, thanks for this vid. Was a HUGE help in me salvaging some previously over exposed footage.
Sick!!! I aspire to be adventurous like all you awesome film photographers!
haha thanks Zaki! i'm not nearly as adventurous as this video makes me seem. lots of evenings are spent eating fast food and playing halo lmfao
crushing it as always! 💯
thanks Niyaz!! really appreciate you watching fam
Linus, your´e the one, this video helps seriously!
If that camera had autofocus instead of that zoom function it would be perfect little grab and go super 8mm camera
i think it's perfect without tbh. that infinity has been left on for like 95% of my work
This video was so helpful
love this video 💫
thanks GG
Great info and also like you it helps to shoot beautiful people.
Bruh is that Vulandes and Willem? Talk about iconic...
those are my dawgggs
Color reversal is more fun, you can project your film with a projector which is where the real magic of super8 is. You could also still add magnetic sound called sound stripe after developing.
it’s soooo fun
Do you have any experience with this? I've been wanting to do this for my own projects but I don't know where to start
can you share the plugin to convert lightroom preset to a LUT?
Love It!
thanks jordan!!
Linus do you use diffusion filters on the b roll shots of this video? Also pls give us a colorgrading video for the footage of yourself and b roll of this channel’s videos
i used some diffusion filters on some of the b roll in this video!!
two questions. where'd you get you camera and what software are you using to edit the film video?
This might be a dumb question to ask but let’s say if you sent your super 8 film off to a lab without asking for a flat scans. Would the colors still come out flat anyways or would they do the colors themself or will the colors already be baked into the film without requesting a flat scan ?
What super 8 film stock did you use for the night shots? The 500T?
my dawgy does it again, super 8 music video next??
bigtime!!
When the film is developed and scanned, that's how you get to edit it right; from a memory card?
The only thing I don't like about the Super 8 is the
sound, I say too bad they don't have these
cameras a built-in microphone
canon supposedly in 2016 was going to bring us a hybrid
between digital and analog
super 8.... uf, it never came out on the market
Hey man. Thanks for the video. What software are you using to colour grade the film?
Yeah, curious for this too!
final cut pro x!
had to slap that subscribe button🔥
thanks brah!
I know this is a bit late, after you said you used 500t in this camera, I looked up the camera I saw it only reads up to 160ASA was overexposure not a problem?
I really want to learn how you color graded this video.
When you got your film back did they send it in a usb or sd card?
what were the luts
You should share some LUTS for super 8 pleaseee
i'll consider that!
The best Super 8 camera with my last name on it! 😆
fucking beautiful - sold.
Super interesting
thank you!
What software are you using to edit your video footage?
final cut pro x!!
Angeles Crest Highway? 2:17
What software are you using to Colorgrade your video?
Which version of Lightroom are you using?
Lightroom Classic!
sweet video! What’s the camera called? Missed that
Bauer C1M Super!
very cool thanks
@@linusandhiscamera
The handle is made of an early plastic called bakelite (invented in 1907!) and can crumble or separate from the top of the camera like my Bauer C2 Super did. I like the camera and its design, but to put all that metal and glass on a plastic handle and one that holds the batteries was not the wisest choice.
Is the Bauer C1M hard to find?
not that i know of!
Can’t I scan my super 8 at home
Just the video I was looking for! I just bought a BAUER C3 super for the simplicity of shooting on super 8 because I’m new at it.
Quick question, do the BAUER cameras have a light meter? I can’t seem to find it on mine.
They do, it´s all automatic exposure.
@@v-g-z3689 thank you!
its predientds day
not anymore, sir!
@@linusandhiscamera do not reply to my comments
@@wilkinsswiger2306 understood! my fault!
I have no idea why you bought the cheapest super8 money can buy for this video. A 50yr old super8 camera is "soooo complicated" that you can't even figure it out? In comparison to today's digital cameras? The most complicated cameras have timelapse settings, single frame shooting, high frame rate shooting, and a bulb exposure mode. That's it. Second - you don't want to use the internal 85B filter because they are made of plastic, and in the years since your (any) super8 camera has been made it has probably deteriorated. It's far better to use a new, glass 85B filter.
Yeah i wanted info about how to splice and edit super 8 while its still film, not all this software junk. Misleading title.
