I bought a Yashica automatic 8 movie camera that uses double 8mm film. I shot some a while back but then I realized that it costs $50 to develop so I didn’t bother. Now that I have more than enough money to shoot and I have better understanding of how wind-up movie cameras work, I think I’m ready to shoot one more time. Thanks for this!
Thanks for keeping D8 alive, Michael & gang!!
I'm getting my first Brownie 8mm so I was super excited to come across this video outlining the film stock you offer for these amazing movie cameras. The adage "What's old is new again" most definitely applies here. Thanks for keeping the art of using film alive! :-)
You guys continue to be an amazing company! Always thinking outside the box. Your offerings are some of the best in the world, and certainly for Regular 8 filmstocks.
I got one of these - they are really fun but obviously costly if you are making something feature length. Images are really nice though.
I found an old Revere eyesight camera from 1958 in my grandad's house and I want to try it so bad! I was curious to know if they still made double 8mm film these days and I'm so excited to see this technology still exists!
Looking forward to sending you some film!
It’s because of people like you, and a few others (very few) that keep movie film alive on the consumer level. Please keep up the great work you guys are doing….and yes, making 100’ rolls of the ASA/ISO 40 color negative would be nice….just sayin.
As I said in my email yesterday, I hope to get a P-series Bolex regular 8mm tomorrow. Can’t wait to use these films. I got a Canon zoom 8 coming today.
The P series cameras are fantastic, you'll definitely enjoy it. I would highly recommend if you decide to keep it that you get it serviced by someone like Jean-Louis Séguin; he did a few y job on my H8 reflex.
@@jonathansmith2168 I just bought a P3. Yes I’m aware these models had a battery op zoom lens. Yes there is some green corrosion on the contact in the photo, But I heard you can clean the contacts with white vinegar or lemon juice? If it doesn’t work out I can get a junk P1 lens and Frankenstein it on the P3 body since all the electronics are in the lens or so I heard…
Can you add processing instructions for your b&w cine films to your website, please? Would be VERY helpful for those of us trying to stretch our funds and self-develop.
We have many blogs at our main website including How to develop BW reversal at home - filmphotographyproject.com/develop-bw-movie-film-home/
@@FilmPhotographyProject Yes thst is indeed helpful, thogh also needed is the dev time for negative films like BW 100 and BW 400. Also your blog mentions 8 minutes in D19 for Foma R-100, Tri-X, and Orwo UN-54 - but does this also apply to your house branded films?
It would be very helpful to have this info added to the store pages.
Wow! I'm inspired.
Are these available at any European retailers?
Want to get my Holiday II and Movikon 8 running with some color film 🤩
Love your commitment to 8mm 👏
I have tried and love FPP Regular 8 and all of the different stocks. It would be nice to see a return of 500T color negative indoor film. Also, you didn't mention Kodak Double XX BW negative. I really hope that you continue to stock it.
Thanks for the video.
We hope to bring back 500T in 2023. Not mentioning Double-X was an oversight. Double-X in stock!
@@FilmPhotographyProject THANKS ! ! !
SWEET!!! I have my dads Kodak Brownie movie camera 2. Looking for film for it!!! I'll be ordering some of this film!!
I want a film camera so bad. Thank you for making film still
Where are you located Alice? I have many film (regular 8mm) cameras.
FilmPhotographyProject You know about supply chains - excuse my probably redundant question. Regular 8 still available in '23.
Nice job by the way!
Available now in our Film-Develop-Scan BUNDLE - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/products/double-8-film-bundle-film-develop-scan-25-ft
Rolls only available Summer '23.
Seems like prices were lower on this stock years ago.
Film prices (all still photography and cinema film) rise every year.
@@FilmPhotographyProject any possibility for a special sale on this stock even limited time percentage off would love to shoot with this again but current price has me holding off unfortunately.
First I'll like to say thank you for all the info. I just order a clean Meopta Admira 8II Mirror, my first 8mm movie camera, What do you suggest for starting out? Thanks again. I also know a lot about traditional photography and and still shoot film to this day.
I suggest our 40 iso BW or color film. We do offer it as a Film-Develop-Scan Bundle - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/products/double-8-film-bundle-film-develop-scan-25-ft
Could you guys get wolfen in double8 pls?
Hey are you guys aware of a book by Henry Provisor called “8MM/16MM Movie-Making?” From 1970?
Bolex Baby!
Hello! If I shot several rolls of reversal film would you guys be able to splice all the rolls onto a single reel in order?
Develop Only orders are delivered on single 50 ft reels. If you order a Bundle (film-delevop-scan) we can accommodate such a request.
Can I film on B&W positive reversal film and develop it like normal B&W negative film, or do I have to do a color reversal process? If I develop it like b&w negative film, without color reversal steps (bleach, exposure, etc) will the film develop.... and will it be positive or negative in the end?
Thank you!
You cannot use color reversal chemistry on B&W film (unless you want some very wild results--which, if that is your thing, go for it!). B&W positive film can be shot as a B&W negative with usually very good results. In my experience, you'll want to increase the speed rating of the reversal film if you are processing it as a negative (for example, a 40ASA B&W reversal film would likely be best exposed at 80ASA if shooting as a negative.) This can vary depending on the stock of course, but it is a good starting point. Almost all (with one or to very specalized exceptions) B&W films will only become a positive if processed as such--and conversly, B&W films will only become negative if processed as a B&W negative. For example, you can take Kodak Tri-X 35mm film for your still camera, shoot it at 200ASA and process it as a reversal--with pretty darn good results! You could also take your Kodak Tri-X 16mm or Super 8 film and shoot it at 400ASA and process it as a negative with great results. Hope that helps!
when was double8 film reintroduced, didnot know that?
2019 by the FPP - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/double-8
what about recording in sound with these cameras
Hi. You should record "wild sound" on your smart phone; very short clips of dialog which can be synced using an edit program (like Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere).
Is there any Chinese company that manufactures film. Maybe , you should open communications about producing a lower cost film for those who find the current offerings simply out of their budget .
so double 8 is regular 8?
Correct.
Black and white negative films o fBlack and white negative films of 100 and 10 ISO are easier to develop and they should be the most popular 100 and 10 ISO are easier to develop and they should be the most popular
