Great footage. But: why did you reduce the grain? Would you consider sharing the original footage without grain reduction? I admire and respect your footage, though. But really encourage you to share it! Also: are you doing any color correction?

Great exposure, love the 100D look. great eye for details, that's for sure. There seem to be a focus issue throughout your Bolex videos. It's exacerbated further when watched on a larger screen than that of an I-phone. Your videos shot with the Keystone A-12 camera look a lot sharper and in focus, almost on par or even better that the ones you filmed with the Arri. It goes to show that fancier/more expensive brands don't necessarily mean better. Love your documenting daily life in Japan. Thanks for sharing your art and vision with the rest of us.

Yes, looks fantastic!

Looks great Cotto!!

VERY NICE!!!!

Did you buy the E100 DS8 film from Pro8mm? I’ve been looking for DS8 film on 100’ reels and so far Foma Film has been the only DS8 I’ve purchased. I had hoped FPP had DS8 but they only had B&W stock. 50’ reels seems to be the norm. I did not check at Pro8mm though. Nice footage!

überraschend wenig Sättigung oder?

Amazing! not much info over there! i have to learn how to do those cables Do you think this system could be used to sync two uhers? :0

Nice work!!

Looks awesome. This a recording straight from the 70s

Nice work!

When you scan your film via telecine do you use a lens setup to “de-squeeze” the anamorphic footage before the projected image hits the telecine sensor like a proper film projector?

Cool! Love the DIY effort to process and scan a roll of film all yourself ...but why go through all that and then have the aspect ratio of the image incorrect?

Hi Paul, was hoping to get an understanding of the wiring for the LED and various parts. Could I send you an email to check?

Mr Cotto; This is exactly what I need for my 16EL. The links for the diagram and 4pin Connector are not working.. I'd be so glad if you'd paste the working ones. Many Thanks

How to sync audio in that equipment

What exact lens is this?

Cool setup! why did you choose to go into 30p instead of 24p digital?

Hi I stumbled across your video d scribing this Elmo system for sound synchronisation. I have a similar system manufactured by the Japanese company Chinon. As you say following the demise of super 8 sound cartridges we find ourselves looking again to these old synchronisation Systems. It can prove challenging to acquire all the required components of such a system...like you it took me several years to track down the components of my Chinon system. Thankfully I managed to find the special cable to connect camera and tape recorder.....I didn't have to make my own as you did... congratulations on that achievement. Great to watch your video on this topic of super 8 synced sound.

you're doing the lord's work👍

SIRUI 1.25 Anamorphic so original is 4/3 ?

I'm trying to do DIY telecine. What is a good microscope zoom lens to use with a Super 8 projector like Elmo or Sankyo?

You mentioned a different zoom lens. 2:13 Any idea of where? What would the diameter be if you know...

did u ever end up making a test footage with this set up ?

None of your fucking links work!

Where did you get the paint?

Saw this posted in the Bolex Group looks incredible!

Is there an easy plug in for Resolve to invert negative film, along the lines of Negative Lab Pro? Or is it primarily messing with curves? I'm building my own Telecine with a Blackfly as well. My vintage family stuff is koda/ektachrome, so no problems there, but I want to shoot some Vision3 myself. I suppose I could always import 4000 frames into Lightroom if I really need to...

I'm not impressed. Best to stick with 16mm!

Very nice. I came here from your fb post. I’ll be shooting a bunch of DS8 this spring and summer in a Bolex H8 reflex modified to DS8 🤞. If you don’t mind me asking, which Canon model did you use?

Looks good. Auto exposure on the Canon? Or did you dial ot in manually?

Paul, I'm building a similar setup with the Blackfly Camera. Do you have any suggestions about the lens and what was your choice for this project. Too many variables to work out what lens to use,

hey paul!! what is the model of this base plate?!

hey paul! do you know what size video assist I should buy if I have the bolex EL model? Would it be the 10x or 13x?

The DS8 camera uses 16mm wide film with super8 perforations. 8mm uses 16mm wide film with 8mm perforations

So, regular or Double 8 uses 16-mm film, but perforation is different? And DS8 uses 16-mm with Super 8 perforation? And Super 8 perforation is different to Double 8 perforation?

Even looks like Super 35 with the space for the soundtrack used.

Awesome! I have a rex5 with the angenieux 12-120. I have been wondering about an anamorphic adapter option for it. What did you use to adapt the anamorphic adapter to the lens? Do you have any sample footage you have shot with this setup online? Do you set the 12-120 to infinity and only focus on the sirui? Thanks!

Hello May I ask, optimistically, is that lens good enough? Was it just for prototyping, and have you replaced it, or are you still happy with it? I have not bought one off Amazon before, it is cheap, but then again internet things often are cheap and still good. Also, will it go in far enough for 8mm film do you think? No harm if not sure about that question. Thank you very much, Braith

Hi Paul, thanks for your videos, they are very good. I wanted to ask you a question, in your previous video you talk about an external 12 volt battery with a spiral cable. In this video you use another cable, do you still use that M12 power solution battery or do you use another type of battery like a V lock ?

I had to make it myself from the one that came with the lens.

@paulcotto Amazing setup! I am wondering, what adapters did you use to mount the anamorphic lens? I would like to achieve the same thing but having trouble to find the necessary adapters to make it work.

Nice. I can't decide whether to get this or the 35mm. Have you tried that one?

Thank you for sharing - I will be watching your other videos - Excellent - Just subscribed

You have any footage with the Sirui? I was actually looking at something like that today, a C-mount-to-Micro Four-Thirds adapter.

fab some Uher recorders were converted to magnetic Super 8 Film

This is what I remember about the ingenius methods used to sync sound to striped film there where synchronisers here in the UK one called the syncrodeck made by Craven electronics another was the Carol Sync sound a box you had to modify your projector using a mercury switch to get it to run with a reel to reel recorder you can find them in old Movie Maker magazeens not forgetting Full Coat magnetic Super 8 Film

It is fascinating to me that you have working components of this Elmo system. The amount of technology and effort needed to create visuals with accompanying sound, just prior to sound striped super 8mm film, and/or concurrent with early video just boggles the mind. Thanks for this!

The Bolex H16 El can run for up to how many seconds? From what I understand the normal H16 series can only do up to 30 seconds. but in this case like a model H16 EL how much would it be?

Love this! I also have an H8 reflex model modified for DS8. I enjoy my H16 models, but the extended length of a 100’ spool of DS8 is much more economical. I recently stocked up on some DS8 film, but not the 400’ roll from pro8mm as $420 was out of my range. I’m guessing that you and I have similar collections, but your modifications are great!
