Fantastic video! It would be awesome if you did a breakdown of getting proper exposure with a light meter. There is a lot of confusion around shutter speed and how to set the aperture correctly to compensate for the bolex.
Thank you so much for this! Looking forward to loading my first Bolex soon using this video.
Great, simple video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!! I was really struggling with a lot of tutorial videos for seeing what was actually going on with the film.
2:41 this was a great feature on the Bolex Cameras.
Thank you for the info I hope to own a Bolex someday.
yay new video
You are great, so glad you do this, thanks again
dude deserves millions of views, hope he gets them soon!
Very very helpful, thanks a lot.
Good video!! Thanks!!
Excellent. Thank you.
Your video is very helpful.
Nice vdo, love your presentation
Thanks you!! I have the same camera exactly!
thank you so muche !
it would be great if you can make a video that shows us how you shoot with the camera, to see if you use filter and their results, how you use lens and the overall process to get the results.
thx again !
Hey Noah, do you have any of your 16mm projects up online? Would love to see what you've done with this beast!
Oh boy. Now i really want a bolex
You really should get one,they're reasonably priced even on eBay,I have my father's Bolex and want to sell it as it just sits there doing nothing,somebody could do cool things with it,I'm sure
Very nice video, just a question, do we have to load it in the dark ?

What’s the name of these color stand up walls or where to find it? Reminds me of Blow-up movie.
There are take up spools with a coil strip in the center. This strip catches the perforations. Resulting in easier loads. I was lucky enough to be gifted two take up spools like this. Any idea where they could be ordered from?
Hi Noah, now that the film is loaded, I'm having the idea to use the film camera for stop-motion but just for photo's rather than moving images. Do you think it is worth the experiment?
Definitely! The Bolex has the ability to shoot single frames and has a small dial with an I and a T that will let you either do interval shots where it will open the shutter for about 1/40th of a second or Timed shots where you can do long exposure and have it open for ad long as you like.
So if you use a film changing tent you won't get any flare?
great video, but you forgot to do your arm movements during your channel presenatation.
How do you hold your H16 while you are winding it? Or shooting with it? I have a similar model, and I’m always wondering if there is an ideal way to hold it while using it. Cheers!
in the take up spool my film is super loose. is it supposed to be like that?
Thanks for another cool video! I got a question... Footage is regular 16mm cropped to 16x9 or your camera is converted to Super16mm? thanks
The footage I shoot on my Bolex is regular 16 and if I want a widescreen image then I try and frame wider and crop after in an editing program. Modern 16mm is of such good quality that you can usually get away with some cropping like that
@@AnalogResurgence thanks keep the good work!!!
Is there anyway to modify old bolex with double spiked rollers in order to shoot modern films?
I hate how the bolex has the little perf hook on the back of the film so if the film jams you can't take it out midway (without tearing a perforation)
Other than that it's a pretty good camera
Hey see you have a canon as-1 underwater 35mm camera, pls make a video on all-whether cameras/underwater cameras. I think it would be a really interesting video, because information on underwater/whether prof cameras a really not that available unless you google the shit out of the internet ;)
Hello! Thank you for the video. I have a question about Krasnogorsk-3 - After the entire
reel has been shot, should the film be sent to the lab on a take-up
reel? Thank you in advance!
thats usually the routine. unless you want to rewind the reels in total darkness. people will usually have a few empty reels to use as take-up. then you can just start using the blanks from the previous film order as take-up. just remember that "daylight" reels are safe but not 100 percent light proof. its best to load your camera in as much dark as you can, err on the side of caution. I would load the exposed film into the black bag in complete darkness as well, especially since its super easy to feel your way.
Thank you for this, man. I just realized, however, the top motor where I place the film reel doesn't move. I'm assuming something's wrong with it since only the bottom reel motor is moving?
That's okay! The top doesn't spin when the motor runs, only the bottom position and the little spiked rollers. The film is pulled through the camera but the motor doesn't move the top position
Hi Noah recently got an bolex h16. Stupid question... can super16 be used with regular 16 h16? . If not, where can i have the h16 converted to super16? Thanks.
I am very confused about the Kodak vision3 color negative film, can I load it outside of complete darkness despite the label stating "load in complete darkness"?
Get a loading bag, all film must be loaded in absolute dark. He was just using a dummy reel to show the process. Usually a second hand Bolex comes with a bad roll/unfinished reel you can probably test/practice.
can you load any of the 16mm Kodak films in a lighted setting? If so it's confusing they say 'load in total darkness' on the box - thanks!
Only the 100ft ones like this that are on a metal spool!
@@AnalogResurgence hey Noah! This may be a very stupid question, but for film that is none daylight safe (IE 400ft rolls and older 100ft rolls), how exactly would one go about reloading their camera with these stocks whilst on set? Is a changing bag and lots of practice needed? All the best.
Hi Noah,
you said that the 100ft spools can be loaded in daylight. I’m a bit confused because the package said „Load in total darkness“. And is the Film Safe to be pulled out in the light? Because how can the camera wrap it as tight around the spool as it was?
Loading and unloading in daylight will expose a portion at the beginning and at the end of the film, but everything in between should be fine. The spools are usually a little more than 100 feet, so wasting a couple feet at the beginning and end won't matter too much.
The layers of film that get exposed to the light at the beginning or end will block the light from getting to any of the other film.
Hey! My friend and I are shooting a video with a Bolex camera, and we're looking for an answer to one specific question: We finished shooting today and we haven't exhausted the winding (the tension spring is under tension). Our next shoot is next week and we don't want to waste a second of the video. Will this tensed spring damage the camera or should we exhaust the winding?
It’s should be fine! It’s good to store it unwound for long periods, but if it’s just a little while and you’ll be using it again then it’s not really something to worry about.
Make sure your take up reel has no bends. Or things will not will go through properly and your camera jams up causing you to cut off half of what you shot. Trust me, I learned that lesson the hard way…
Or develop, the film yourself, with a lomo, developing tank, and color chemicals.
I have one of these cameras if anyone is interested
i am interested! what would you prefer to talk on?
@@JustonCase I'm not very familiar with this medium,what would you suggest?
Gianni Rocco you have any social media?
Gianni Rocco just let me know! my facebook is same as my name
@@JustonCase OK,I'm sure I can figure something out!
Everyone is showing only about the camera body ,🤨
no one is into 30sec film roll video developing process ????
