Finally Simon got a new camera
AL LAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
Gilad Shaked but it's worse than his old camera

Says you...
alexthegreaser No, it is. Technically speaking anyway.
No, he got an old one 😅
I LOVE shooting on film, it's so much more fun than digital. Keep up the good work, your videos are awe-inspiring and helpful. you have really inspired me to get into photography and film making.
Film makes everything feel realistic
agree. And so many movies were filmed in 16mm in the recent 90's and 2000's even 2010s, that's the real cinema for me.
Coming up next on DSLRguide: how oil painting is cheaper and much more organic than shooting on film
Matthias B. Watch a "Loving Vincent" trailer
wait a minute.. so i started shooting film with a slr.. and that means that i need to paint... well danm son
Film isn't that expensive if you do it right and develop yourself
No one is denying that. Hand painting has its own uniqueness. Do not compare 🍎 to 🍊.
What about frame rate?
Shot on film in school. Probably will never shoot on film again. I definitely wouldn’t mind shooting on an arriflex with colour neg once just for fun, but really I think shooting film is like going camping. Maybe it’s fun to visit every once in a while, and maybe you even love it, but there’s a reason we invented houses
you can buy this camera for 40$ here in Moscow, "like new" condition
Maxim Kostyaev where? Please give some details.
IMPlive 17
in Moscow
I have this camera :)
I'm interested in buying the camera, if you find it at that price, write a comment
Still going to spend a fortune on developing and digitalizing film
Well, you took me down memory lane with this one, back to when I was a college student; in those days I dreamt a lot about shooting projects in film and felt pretty confident that I would do so sooner than later. 15+ years later, I haven't had that chance yet, but I feel glad you got your chance and shared your impressions about the experience with your audience. Kudos.
His voice is almost ASMR Like...
ASMR 16MM? :P
Simon's one of the only people from a recent generation to upgrade their camera by going backwards.
I actually did the same. Bought an a7II, then went back to a camera from 1912 and 1954, now back in the 70's with large format Sinar F1.
Leica iiia with 50mm f/3.5 and 90mm f/4 lens , hot wheels beat that!!¿?!
Same here. Start with T3i then M50 with all those latest lenses. Eventually, got bored. So I bought Yashica film camera and my passion got back!
Actually not
The thing is most people would be willing to but it’s just so expensive. I’d love to shoot on film but it’s just not practical because SD cards can be re used, film can’t be.
shooting on film is great! I love the way it looks, the way it feels and the way you have to work with it. It's so different to digital shooting how focussed everybody on set is when the 'budget-counter' on the camera starts running.
I had watched this video a year ago. I now shoot several rolls of 16mm film on my krasnogorsk 3 I own. I just love coming back to watch this video. It is so calming and a well-put-together video. Always Gives me a boost of motivation to continue to shoot 16mm.
I really like that you approach gear and film-making as an artist first, not as a technician first. This video, ostensibly about a camera, is a classic example.
I agree with you, I'm planning to shoot a short film in super 16 and everyone says the same thing, "Why it's more expensive, digital is easier, you can't delete footage, etc." What happened to the film-making as art? I know it's expensive but to me this short will be better with authentic film than using digital and trying to make it look like super 16
Totally agree with you. I love the rich analog color. I was lucky to see Dunkirk in 70mm not too long ago. Film is way better for movies but digital is good for certain things like news.
Congratulations for 700,000 Subscribers!
I am happy if I can reach 700.
Just FYI for the light meters. Old stills photographic light meters can be found for quite cheap. I have 3 of them from different eras, all work very well and costed me less than 20€ ;)
Always happy to hear your calm but passionate voice
Great video! I really like the way you broke down the basics of what practical steps would need to be taken to shoot on film. You could see how working with film would really make one improve their ability to make decisions and work on their preproduction for a better end result. Also, how much effort goes into somethings we take for granted, like getting your subject in focus. Really enjoyed this one!
Your voice is so smooth and everything you say feels just right and measured. I am truly going to mix your voice to make it my lullaby someday.
More seriously, your content is so useful, I have never seen such clear and appeasing tutorials. Thanks a lot.
I just love how you explain everything, you seem so engage in the video and the subject. Thank you so much and keep the great work
Awesome video! Im so happy 16mm film is making a huge come back. Glad to see there is love out there for this beautiful medium!!
please release your music i don’t think you realize how great your music really is. very beautiful simplicity
Thanks for this Simon! I love your videos and the creativity behind your work. Keep it up!
Thank you, combination of your narrative and music makes a remarkable vibe.
Really interesting Simon. The short had a lovely look too. The aesthetic of film is so emotive.
I highly recommend listening to this video if you can't sleep. I don't mean that as an insult btw, your voice is just so soothing.
I’m so in love with you. You are so knowledgeable and passionate with what you’re doing.
Its really incredible how accessible modern technology has made filmmaking. Great vid!
Absolutely love this, wish I could master this look with my modern camera etc...
I love the color of the film you used. I've been using film for my photography and that experience has been great. Please continue to share your knowledge with us!
One of the best videos ever made on RUclips
This is why i love you Mr.Dslrguide
Man your videos are so touching, that I wanna cry sometimes
I love 16 mm film
your videos are just what i imagine classic vintage videos with modern touches would look like
Great tutorial. Im just starting to play with a new/old Bolex H16 Reflex and every tip is gold. Thanks
Such a cool video with a super relaxing vibe mate , really helped me get up and running with my Kransogorsk thanks for making and sharing 👌👌
i subscribed to you months ago because i am very interested about film and photography but now-weirdly- i go to your videos because your voice makes me calm (while letting me learn new helpful things)
p.s. you've finally grown the beard! it looks great on you
Your channel is the best camera channel, please never quit RUclips ♥️🍀🙏
I started in school shooting 16mm film, transferring it to S-VHS to then edit. For 16mm film to look really good and worth the effort you have to get a really high quality video tele-cine transfer that most of us can't afford. Instead, most processing labs offer a one-pass exposure transfer, which means the technician sees the first couple of minutes of your unprocessed film and from there he makes the rest of the exposure adjustments for the rest of your footage, not great. Shooting RAW video with my Canon 7D via the magic lantern hack comes really close to the quality of 16mm film, after all RAW video is just a bunch of RAW Super 35mm sized digital photographs strung together in a sequence. Not to mention you also get the benefits of shooting on a Super 35mm equivalent sensor (APS-C) for better bokeh, more light sensitivity, etc. Also, shooting RAW video is like shooting with analog film because of the large files you accumulate forces you to be conservatives with your shots because it is not easy viewing your unprocessed RAW video footage on set, so your forced to watch it later, like film dailies. At the same time, its not cost prohibited like 16mm or 35mm film so you can shoot extra to experiment.
Beautiful video Simon, congratulations on 700K :)
thank you! you've been here since before 5000, i remember you entering the competition!
DSLRguide haha no way, you remember!! Wayyy too many people here now to try that again hahah. I didn't even have a camera when I started watching your videos but I remember I watched your t3i review when it came out and bought one too and have literally been using it ever since hahaha. Genuinely wouldn't have ever got into filmmaking if it wasn't for you, keep up the fantastic content Simon :)
Awesome video! Really happy seeing you shooting on (Super)16mm film and sharing your experience. Love your first time results, looking gorgeous! I look forward to your next projects shot on film!
Simon Cade - makes obvious things sound abstract and deep.
We know it’s good quality when it’s
Soviet Russian.
Made by them Babushkas
In East Europe they also used the Czech Meopta products too

I really really enjoy your videos. Your style is amazing and somewhat comparable with Phillip Bloom in a way. I like your calm way of talking. No hyping, just facts, seasoned with a package of emotion and experience. Keep it up, I would love to see a lot more of your work!
Finally I've been waiting for this video
Man, I love your videos. You are so inspiring, thank you so much!
Winding between each take! Takes me back.
Well, that is pretty cool. I like the most that you have to think and plan so much before actually filming. You don't end up with hours of footage you never need. Great way of shooting.
Decades ago, I shot home movies on Super 8 Sound Film. Kodachrome 40 was a spectacular film. My first camera was the entry-level Elmo. Later, I acquired a Bealieu silent camera, and the queen of them all, the Canon 1014 XLS.
Love the look of 16mm, just looks so real and warm. Have only shot 16mm on the Arri SR2 tho, but is VERY good fun
Fun fact: The new Noah Baumbach movie 'The Meyerowitz Stories' was shot on 16mm :)
Why are his videos so soothing?
I've been waiting sooo for this video! Awesome sauce!
Dude ur voice is so calming, i fall asleep to ur videos no cap, keep it up😍
Simon! Sending you 700,000 congrats on reaching 700,000 subs Keep up the fantastic work man!
YESSS , KEEP MAKING VIDEOS
LONGER IF POSSIBLE THEYRE SO GOOD
Glad to see someone talking about shooting on film with a low budget! The K3 looks like a great starter camera, comparable to the Bolex.
The dust in your frame is more likely buildup of film emulsion. As the film moves through the registration fine amounts of emulsion can be scraped off and accumulates in the gate. It appears you'd not be able to clean the gate without taking the film out, so that might be another 'quirk' of the K3. The Bolex has a similar 'quirk'. Also, chances are the K3 doesn't maintain a true 24fps because it doesn't have a crystal speed motor. Most wind-up 16mm cameras struggle maintaining true 24fps without a crystal motor.
Incredibly talented sir. Keep it up.
You always make me remember why I love film
Filmmaking that is
good to see this way of thinking
Have been in the same boat for ages thinking shooting film was out of my budget. After watching this it made me go hunting and I found a heap of K3's and similar bolex for about $400-500, still a bit out of my budget. But I kept searching and found a K3 for $50 (no lens) and the conversion kit to make it super 16 for $100. so for a super 16 camera for $150 I was pretty chuffed.
I luckily didnt need the lens as I already own a heap of M42 mount lenses from my film SLR's so it worked out nicely!
Thanks for opening my eyes about how affordable super 16mm can be!
I want to see more of your work!
Because of you sir i can become a good filmaker thanks for all the good effort you have done for us
Love this mate. Great video
it's about enjoying the old experience!!
10/10 perfect video, such a talent at editing as well. Such much better than film riot
awesome that you're shooting on film.
So fun! Loved it!
I watched your short film. Nice work
Gosh, that is beautiful. I would love to possibly shoot my first film and 16 someday. It’s raw and organic look is gorgeous and even the film costs and processing it really can be around the same price as a certain DSLR, especially if you end up using less film than you think or need, or have a lower shooting ratio. I just love the color and saturation on film and really do think it looks better. I know that Tarantino was going to and would have had no problem shooting Reservoir Dogs on 16 no matter what, but that ended up not happening anyway.
AND 700 000 SUBSCRIBERS IS HERE! CONGRATULATIONS SIMON! ROAD TO 1 MLN! :D
Looking good with that beard
ikr he looks good no homo tho
No....he looks horribly old
King Arthur ur mom looks horribly old
That is so true lol. Fuck you man!
King Arthur no u
Loved this one Simon.
👌🏻
Congrats on 700k subs man 🙌 on the way to 1mil
Congrats on 700.000 subs
It looks beautiful.
Damn.. big probs that you did that.
👌👌👌
I’d learn to appreciate he luxury we got nowadays 😏
As humans our vision is not like "digital sharp", but full and clean, never too sharp unless we pay attention to something. Our eyes usually wonder from place to place and point to point, almost never fixated on a single point. That's why "soft but clean focus" in older cameras and in Leica and older Nikon/Canon lenses looks more life-like and natural. Those who've taken portraits with the Zeiss Planar 85 or Leica sumilux lenses know what I'm talking about. Clean, but not "razor digital sharp". Just like human vision.
Thanks for the video. Even though I probably won't film in the next couple of years I found this video very interesting.
Studying film production at University gave me the opportunity to shoot on film. It was for our first film project - we could make any film we wanted but it had to be shot on a single tape. I loved it. Film making has become so much about gear these days that it's become toxic. I'm a film snob who hates hollywood and disney. The last thing I care about is the gear used to shoot the film. I care about the story, the meaning, the framing, the emotion of each character and the voyeuristic presence I get from experiencing the film.
I would say quite the opposite, everyone can be a filmmaker these days. You don't need an eclair with a 400' Mag, a clapperboard and dat tape recorder anymore. You could even use a phone to make a beautiful story. My advice is to embrace Disney and Hollywood, because while you might not agree with their stories or production values. Everyone can learn things from them. Don't ever be close minded as a creative person, because creation of stories is about experiences.
I like your presentation, keep it up Simon
Great Video Man! Thank You very much!
Congratz on 700K mate 👐
amazing work , I also in the process of shooting with arritechno s35 camera tops keep on
I also use a K-3 (normal 16 unless it is modified) with a Sekonic light meter like yours and results are great for such a cheap 16mm camera. I get much beautiful images from 3 minutes of film than from 1 hour of digital stuff.
I am happy with my mirrorless cam and colour grading its footage to vintage look though I have spent most of my life with 35mm movie reels 📽
You could also "Blimp" the camera to record sound if you wanted. The K-3 could also be modified to run off an electric motor as well so you don't have to wind it up all the time.
Holy fuck this is so calming.
Great Video man just about to Shoot on 16mm B&W for a Uni Project and this was really helpful :)
I thought you did an outstanding job here! For many (35+?) years, I have wanted a Bolex Paillard 16mm camera. I couldn’t afford it then and “settled” for the Bolex Super 8, as I could not afford video then either, and wanted to get some action of my Sons growing up. The Bolex was Fantastic and almost intuitive and I almost regretted switching to vhs when it came down in price and I could afford it. For me, it has to be Bolex Paillard or not at all. I don’t work for them,!i guess they are still in business? But the motor is nearly silent and the controls do what they are supposed to do. Thank You again for a good guide video!
Great effort man.
Omg u so good and respect that you can film with the whole set up:)
I like that Simon. It is a noisy camera but worth the effort.
I like your videos and your perspective. So glad you tried 16mm. That's how I started, actually. I don't know anything about this particular make of the 16mm camera (i had a Beaulieu), but you don't really have to tape everything up like that. Usually the camera is designed so that when the camera body is closed no light will get in. They wouldn't have sold too many 16mm cameras in the past if everyone had to tape up all the edges. I never knew about anyone doing that. You don't have to do that.
By the way, your voice is fantastic. Very nice.
Christopher Thorkon It’s not a bad idea to do so on a 30+ year old camera that has gone through a lot and thus some of the light seals are probably not quite as light-tight as when new.
Also, you’ve never seen someone tape up a film camera? You must never have worked on a low-budget film before then
@@martyjackson4166 I have an old film camera, and it doesn't leak anything. It's only for photos though, and very simply built, too. Is it another case with cameras for filming?
I know it's a very old comment but many people seal their cameras with gaff tape to avoid leaks
It’s usually not needed due to the design of these cameras (there’s not really light seals on them but more a light maze on the edges), but given the cost of film, you don’t want to have 100ft ruined because the edge got slightly dented and thus let some light in. So it’s extra insurance.
Props to this guy for giving film a shot... most people of today’s generation will never experience it. It does for sure have one thing going for it: a beautiful aesthetic. Most people (even the pros) have gotten over their egos though and realize it is just not worth the hassle 99% of the time.
Two comments: the Krasnogorsk was designed for home movie use, so it has no registration pin and the overall movement is pretty crummy. That's why you get a bit of shake and weave with it, which you don't get with the professional production cameras like the Arriflexes and CP 16 that have a better movement with pin registration. Second: consider shooting just regular 16mm. Super 16 requires too many extra headaches (like choosing a lens that covers the area and all the camera and viewfinder issues). 90% of the world will be watching your film on a laptop or phone, so classic 4:3 works just fine and it definitely speaks 16mm at you. And P.S. there's no need to cover up your viewfinder when you're not filming. You won't fog anything more than the already fogged flash frames by keeping the finder open. If you are running the camera without your eye in the finder then yes, you need to cover it up or you'll fog the film.
Great video! Lovely music too
The best way to get perfect exposure is to use a modern DSLR camera to give you the right exposure, and then use that information to work on manual mode with your movie camera.
Just make sure you setup the DSLR with the right ISO, shutter speed, and of course the lens aperture.
You inspired me to finally shoot on my Bolex after a year of it collecting dust.
Congrds on 700k ...soon he ll get million k wishes from all over world....
in this video...Ur eyes r so reddish broo...
u have inspired me..n andyxx n esklid also....
I love that super 16 camera 🎥
Great Honest video, thanks
Film is just lovely!
I'm guessing the view finder was from when everything was shot in 4:3 ?
