Rodney Bourke reports ( May 2011 )
Filmmaking in 9.5mm, 16mm, 8mm, Single 8 & Super 8
Keep your originals on FILM, “Saving the Past, and our Heritage” for Family, Filmmaking and Future Generations.
Why Film?
Although it was back in the 1930’s that Kodachrome was developed, it wasn’t until the 80’s that Super 8 Kodachrome was scanned and calculated as having at least 1,200 lines resolution, 16/9 Max Super 8 at 1,500 and 9.5mm/16mm Kodachrome well over 3,600 lines. But since Kodachrome has been discontinued. Living in the Millennium, New developments have happened in Film Technology, with Fuji Velvia, Kodak’s Negative Film Stocks being released with resolution, definition and colours like Kodachrome.
For the opposite effect you can use high speed film, designed mainly for night cinematography, giving that grainy look with a warm texture, and artistic feeling that pixels cannot immolate.
Some say Digital HD Video 1080 lines resolution has replaced Film! But I say it is only a replacement for Digital DVD with 500 lines, Laserdisc 420 lines, and Analogue Beta & VHS 240 lines. In fact for Archiving always keep your original Master on FILM, by making a transfer, to what ever Video format comes along ,you have the best of both worlds. One does not replace the other, but can compliment the other.
Make many copies from Film to Video, and send to Relatives, in case of Theft, Storms, Fire, Mould, Floods, Earthquakes, Mudslides and Tornados, Cyclones, Twisters, Hurricanes & Tsunami. Etc.
As Video and Computers are always updating themselves, and becoming Redundant, Out of date, and Worthless. Real Filmmakers using Real Film don’t have this problem, what you learn Today is still applicable Tomorrow, as film has the highest resolution, the equipment still retains its value and Usefulness. Thus allowing the filmmaker the Convenience to make a copy to a lesser medium like DVD.
High Resolution Film (Sun)
R25N Fuji Single 8, 40 ASA Kodachrome, 40 ASA Plus-X, 50ASA Fuji Velvia, Pro 8 /45 50D Neg
Medium Resolution Film (Cloud)
Kodak 64T, 100ASA Kodak Plus-X B&W, 100ASA Fuji Velvia, Pro 8 /12 100T Neg
Low Resolution Film (Night)
RT200N Fuji Single 8, 200ASA Kodak Tri-X B&W, 200 & 500T Kodak Vision Neg, Pro 8 200T to 500T Neg
FILM STILL HAS THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION/DEFINITION
New 16mm film stock, will look just as good weather it is in a 16mm Movie Camera made in 1920’s or year 2000’s. Same with Still FILM
New 35mm Still Film Stock, in an old 35mm Still Camera from 1930’s will look as good as a year 2000’s model.
Not so with Digital every year there being outdated in resolution, with new Cameras and new Memory Cards. Film users don’t have this problem.
Want to buy a cheap 22 Megapixel camera, then buy a 35mm FILM SLR, this is the result of a Fuji Velvia Slide, according to Australian Photography Magazine, February 2005, Page 74.
SINGLE 8 News
If you still have Out of date Fuji Single 8 Film, with mailing bag and receipt docket, then finish of the film, send it in, as Fuji will still honor processing even tho it's out of date.

ALIVE & REVIVED NEW EKTACHROME & FUJI VELVIA
Since Kodachrome Film has been discontinued, NEW films have been released.
THE NEW Kodak SUPER 8 EKTACHROME 64T & 100D. Note: not all Super 8 cameras,
can correctly expose these films, I recommend ,
to do a TEST ROLL to see if it comes out fine, or
you may have reduce exposure to light by ½ or 1 stop.
The New Super 8 Fuji Velia 50 ASA seems to work on all Super 8 cameras with a correct exposure, But to be 100% sure before making your Hollywood master piece I recommend always do a TEST ROLL, and write down your experiments. eg Day, Night, Indoors, Outdoors, Sun, Shade, 1, 9, 18, 24 Frames Per Second, Zoom in & out, Macro. And try different film stocks to suit your needs, etc. And read your Instruction manual.
Kodak also continues to make Black & White Super 8,160 ASA Tri-X. http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Hub/why1.htm
