I've been stalking your channel man and you're giving out information on celluloid and these cameras that is just absolute gold. I love how you have examples to really empahsize what you're saying as well. Concise, well put together, and the scenery is awesome to look at. I will continue my binge!
@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC Awesome to hear! I wanted to ask, as someone who is constantly looking for S16 cameras like the XTR, LTR, Xtera, SR2, etc. Where is the best place to find these online? I'm always checking ebay but it seems pretty dead these days. There is a pretty good Facebook group for Arri cameras for sale, but in terms of forums and reddit pages, there's just.. nothing.
@@TweetBomb Good super 16 cameras are impossible to find today. Yes there are secret facebook groups where they’re traded but man talking two or three a year and they’re gone instantly.
The 35III is only 4 perf unless you have one of the 10 3 perf kits they made. The penelope the camera that came after is only 3 and 2 perf. Sadly they never made a 2 perf movement for the 35III, which seems odd all things considered.
6:00 That film must be so well exposed 🤔😂. Thank you for all this info. You Patreon link makes it look like it's broken by the way. Have you ever used the Aaton Xterà? What's your opinion on it?
Yea we're gonna do a different link, just super busy :(> The Xtera is identical to the XTR, just a different power system that allows two batteries to be used and a slightly more refined video tap.
@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC wooooo bless my heart 💸. I was ignorant. What 16mm camera would you recommend for a $1,000 budget with lens and mag included? For narrative fiction shorts...ideally quiet enough for sync sound but I fear that might be asking too much!
@@CertainExposures Sadly none exists for that price range. Maybe a decade ago, but for sync sound, no way. Today the lowest end sync sound cameras like the CP16 and Arri 16 BL are still worth more than $1000 without lenses. Plus film is very expensive. People don’t think about that cost, it’s around $1.15/foot retail price for film, processing and transfer.
Nice series. But if you slow down your talk a bit, it will be much better to grasp what you mean. People in general need some seconds to understand what you say, reflect. Not as it is today when you spew out as if you were to catch a plane. Just a hint. Thank you.
@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC It didn't shine through in my comment that I do admire your enthusiastic approach to a complex theme. Regarding 16mm Bolex: In 1994 I was traveling around the world on behalf of a Norwegian Aluminium company and filmed on airports. I filmed on LAX and other places for two weeks. I made a double exposure which turned out nice. Shot the wide angle shot first, and the wound the film back to the starting point and shot a close up of the people employed on the second scene. I regret that I did not buy the Super16 version. Cheers.

Thanks! Enjoy the site. We have a lot of new content coming as well, it's just been delayed due to other shoots/shows.

I always wanted an Aaton. Is it possible to do a 2 perf mod?
Thank you.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC you are one of the few. 3 perf is really ideal. Thanks.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC Thank you. What's a fair price for either in your opinion? Is there a Kelly Blue Book for these cameras, lol.
@@CertainExposures LTR is worth over $10k these days, we have one with a zoom lens for $16k.

👏
Any idea how loud an Aaton 35 II is?
34db when tuned, it's 2db louder than a 35III

Thanks, yea trying to keep the videos to a short length. It’s a lot. Lucky, there is a pause and rewind button :)
