So true. I understand all too well, and I applaud your tenacity and optimism. I am building a new beginning. Please have a look at the El Paso Verse Revealed video, or the latest Stream re Levels 1 & 2. Talent should feel welcomed here.

Ah Rock basins ! That’s the words I were searching for… where were you when I needed you in the video recording :) hehe

Thanks. You are in the right place, discussions will take place on live streams right here on the channel. Also tune into X where community is building

@@scottcollins1079 hehe expect there to be some good tacos in there. Some of the best I’ve ever had I found in the native land of lvl 3

@@paulumbriaco59 thanks amigo

@@BrusqueSkeptic thanks for being part of the growth

Agreed. This captured our imagination. And the fact that it is a real possibility with this, is mind boggling

Glad you enjoyed it! We’ll get it done

It’s early days and a strong community is building around it now

@@bpsmith0587 thx! Stay with us and help shape it into what it should become !

We agree! Let it travel. Before soon it’ll get crowded in this place… if level 2 is limited 10,000 people

Thanks for checking in early and helping the word travel 🧳

Hey, yes we were shooting that test MOS (Mit Out Sound). Camera was an electric one, with a few inserts from a spring wounded Rex 4. On film scenes we slate for syncing yes

Hi Gary - we will be doing other characters series also. Both from Louis Masterson and other authors 🏜️

@@ryan_wiik which other authors are you considering?

@@garrylovesey6810 Zane Grey and Max Brand to follow

I would like to recommend "Herne the Hunter" series by John McLaglen. I believe it was 24 books in all....

Couldn’t agree with you more. Hope you get into the rest !

I also like (many of) the old corgi covers, particularly the later ones in the series. We are in a new time and market, and the short format is a strength I believe. Cover selection for the new release is happening at book.io - invite you to watch our stream today

@@Schneeeulenwetter very nice of you ! Sorry I’ve been quiet for the last months, but I’ve been building a live stream studio, so a new wave of video are coming now

Yes we did. The tap was made by Old Fast Glass and we used an Atomos Ninja V

Awesome, thanks for the info. Did you purchase the bolex super 16 or did you have it converted? Also, have you ever recorded audio to sync with the bolex? Curious about what I can get on a budget and have usable audio to go along with it taking into account motor noise.

Hi! Sorry I didn’t see this before. The PL mount is made and sold by Les Bosher, but also sold by Bolfix in Switzerland and Duall Camera in New York. The C mount to Nikon lens adapter I found new on eBay for a song, and same should be available for EF etc

I’m working on a movie with other characters from Masterson’s universe. This video shows some behind-the-scenes ruclips.net/video/Z5f1uOKknDM/видео.htmlsi=0a2ObSHpk77haMNB

Great to hear. No, this is straight out of the camera. Shot with EBM.

@@ryan_wiik Thank you Ryan, this is truly outstanding. The lab that converted your EBM to S16 did an excellent job. Can you tell me which is this lab that converted your Bolex? I also have a Bolex (H16EL) and can't wait to convert it to S16😀

@@luciano16mm the service tech who did the conversion on this EBM to s16 was Les Bosher. The camera is also upgraded with HD video tap by Old Fast Glass. The lab who did film development and scan is Cinelab in Romania. They are excellent. EL is fantastic, we use them too. Congrats on securing one

@@ryan_wiik Thank you very much Ryan, I ask you one last thing: do you know if Lesh Bosher also offers technical assistance on Bolex, or can you tell me who else does it, possibly in Europe? Since Bolex ceased all activity in Switzerland, I don't know who to turn to in case I need qualified technical assistance...

@@luciano16mm you should reach out to Microdelta in Palma de Mallorca. He is very capable - granted that he has the capacity.

Haha yes better not to touch anything else :)

I agree. We saw strong results there

I’m largely going the opposite direction - to create the most authentic entertainment experience possible !

You may be right, US have always been elevated lvl. But talented hoppers here. I appreciate it, you’re being kind. However I do have more game in the bag. And I’ve requested a rematch with high stakes - I intend to do warm instead of rigging cameras / sound 😅

@@ryan_wiik I like it! You take it seriously! I grew up with the Herren brothers. My best friends… Big Mike is 6-5 forward and won 3 state high school titles for a full ride to Boston College… Mike ended up breaking his leg the practice after the game Alonzo mourning swatted him out the gym. His brother Chris played for the Boston Celtics but first he also accepted a full ride to BC and ended up dropping out… He was so good that Jerry Tarkanian called him to join the Fresno Bulldogs… I was in Las Vegas after working on a film set in Park City I was actually with his brother and big Mike was actually the publicist on the film… Big Mike had other business and left for Florida or something before he left he ask me to go help his brother get in shape… So instead of going back to Boston I ended up taking that bumpy hop flight to Fresno and living with Chris for a year… His dad and brother asked me to keep an eye on him so that’s what I did… we are all like family and played a ton a ball together so I know how that competitive bug can get very serious… I’ve got a story about the time Big Mike and I picked up a hung over Billy Bayno who dove in the back seat… It was off season but he was coaching UNLV and we went to one of the old gyms in the city where Billy was meeting a couple over seas players… Later they didn’t know we were with Billy and they started to rag on our play, I had thrown up a hard backboard brick and Big Mike missed a few easy stuff but we still EASILY beat these other two guys… Well they actually got nasty and Big Mike looked at me and it was on. Big Mike said $100 on this one… The taller kid 6-6 said, “each, $100 each and we’ll do it” I nodded to Mike who replied, “Done!” It got nasty! I’ll tell you about one of these days… I hit 2 - 3 pointers back to back to open the game and Big Mike kept back in the bigger kid and head faking him out of his shoes… We went cold mid game but I’ll save the outcome for your next basketball video… Maybe it was called the LV Athletic center? I can’t remember but it was the gym that Mike Tyson used to workout at before he fought Holyfield… Billy told us the story when we were in the cold plunge and I got out to hit the heavy bag Mike used to hit… Felt great! Those were the days…

Fint at du fant det interessant

@@ryan_wiik Du har jo ikke komt deg videre i livet gutt. Det er synd.

@@MemoryLaneCinema haha. Interessant perspektiv

Haven’t seen it, but looks very interesting

Yes I have seen it ! It’s rather good that one. You mean they filmed with this camera or it appears in the film 🎥?

@@ryan_wiik It appears in the film when he's taking snapshots of a magazine that had a movie filmstrip. It's a great movie. Very Hitchcock-like. Brian De Palma made it.

Indeed you are right. We also use Bolex cameras alongside, and love the process of shooting on film. It’s heartbeat for the magic of motion pictures. Hope you get involved as we move along here. Thanks

More to come!

PL Lens adapter or the Nikon one mentioned ?

@@ryan_wiik I'm guessing both? I have a Super16 EBM and want to use Anamorphic or/prime lenses like you have. I'm new to the Bolex game and would love to put some modern Anamorphic or even Vintage lenses onto the camera to shoot.

@@Energyboy83congrats, sure is a great camera. If you are based in the US, best place might be Du-All camera in New York. They carry the same PL mount adapter we used here (it’s made by Les Bosher in the UK, where you can buy it directly). If not Bolfix in Switzerland also carry it. For nikon lenses make sure you get the original Nikon F - C mount adapter. Got this one on eBay for a song 🎵

Hi@@ryan_wiik thank you for all of this great info. I'm re-visiting this video and learning about the Nikon f - c mount adapter and it's ability to have a quick preview with the aperture open - that sounds like an absolute game-changer when wanting to make sure you're in focus in a quick, run and gun scenario (I have a Bolex S16 EBM as well). I currently have kern switar lenses, but am almost considering selling them and investing in Nikon glass for that functionality alone. As I'm looking at the adapter you're talking about to take advantage of that functionality... I'm not finding any info on the one's I'm seeing and if it has that specific function. Do you have any more info on them? Really appreciate your time.

@@anthonyjanssen4141 great to hear. The Nikon lenses are very good indeed and user friendly, and I always take some with in my kit. So there is a pin that sticks out, and when you push that, it fully opens the aperture blades on any Nikon AI lens regardless of what aperture you have set it to, then when you release the pin, the lens returns to your set position. I’ll try to post a picture of the original Nikon adapter that does this here

Glad you liked it!

Thank you sir.

Glad you like it. We only shot with a consistent 5.6 for this, so I am not able to say. We shoot the exact same lenses and settings on a digital camera, but that was for another reason. Yes, the PL mount was Les Bosher, but the lenses were straight off of a red camera they normally work on. We pulled focus off of the HD monitor from the Bolex, which matched perfectly with the lens markings.

@@ryan_wiikthank you Ryan….I appreciate all the info

SR3 is good value and the Nucleus M did what it needed to. Focus puller was not pulling off of monitor but rather with measuring distances and marks. He had experience in doing so and did a great job. Hope to use Teradek wireless systems going forward, Hollyland is what we had on hand.

@@ryan_wiikThey're all good machines, nothing to add there. the hollyland could produce some latence, so i wondered if your 1st daisy chained their monitor off of the transmitter or the other way around, (assuming there was only 1 sdi out available) making pulling prone to have latence also. But if he's pulling off of measurements then no factor. Dude must have been bleeding them lil eyeballs off like a OG on set. Props to youse. When and where can we see the MOVIE!!!

@@woodywu931very true, you are right about that. Nerves of steel this guy. We are due to bring everyone together for next production phase, and film will come out as part of the El Paso Verse distribution model once ready. Which will lead to a theatrical roadshow, hopefully in a theatre near you :)

Thanks. No post sharpening, this is how it was in-camera.

Hi, it sounds correct that you should be making an adjustment on AR over RX. I've seen comments about that in the Bolex community, but I primarily shoot RX lenses. In general I like to overexpose, with 2/3 to one stop, as it seems to give the best results. I have found a lot of leniency in correcting overexposed shots, on the contrary, very little can be done with underexposure on film. I recommend that you look at the Bolex User Community on Facebook (group), as they will be able to give the right answer to your question. They discuss the topic of AR v RX frequently. Best Ryan

Normally shoot with 50D in daylight, but 250D gives couple of more stops, so it's good to have in the cooler. I did look at the sharpening programs but have yet to try it on motion picture film. Thanks for stopping by !

Thanks @benericson ! It’s the definitive format for the genre and material we are shooting.

Thanks for insight. Just got ahold of the 26mm 1.1, and a 75mm 1.9. Will try them soon. Been looking at the Nanomorphs, but the tests I’ve seen have quite a lot of chromatic aberration and distortion. There is another lens on the market now with 2x but that get extremely wide. The DZOFilm PAVO’s I’d like to try them out

@@ryan_wiik Yeah, but even the widest lens, the 27mm is still so long on S16. I didn't see much CA or Distortion. I don't think there is a better lens than the 26mm 1.1 for the Bolex. You will be blown away.

@@BenEricson Love your work…what makes the 26mm different or special? Do you think the 12.5-100 kern zoom with ashperon is any good?

@@thesonofavich 26mm covers S16 perfectly, beautiful even opened up to f1.1. Contrast, color, and contrast are all beautiful. If you shoot something with it, the image just pops. Not sure about the 12.5... I've never used it. Likely does not cover S16 through the entire range.

Fabulous! Thanks for stopping by to leave a word. Love the EL, and we use Mk I and II also. Look forward to seeing your doc

That’s how the experience should be. This aims to bring that back

Indeed there is! We've had initial discussions, and plan to work together.

Great 👍 , TY 🙏🏼@@ryan_wiik

Thank you for the great feedback, and highlighting what is a key objective to reaching a wider demographic.

Hi! That's great. I'm going to ask the DP or First Assistant Camera operator to make sure I'm giving you the right answer when I speak to them tomorrow. But in simpler terms, the 20mm Nikkor lens, is the equivalent to the lens characteristics of a 10mm Switar lens. 50mm Nikkor to the 25mm Switar lens etc. Think of 16mm film as micro-four-thirds, in terms of sensor size, and the lenses are made to cover that size format. While 35mm (photography lenses) cover the same as a "full-frame sensor". Perhaps someone here can explain this better than I am doing just now...

Indeed it was gimbal + strong and steady hands of the operator
