showing everything you see in real time to the other side of the planet from a device the size of your palm isn't breathtaking enough for you because you're used to it
Love that you shot with this old hand cranker.. Good job. Your exposure is terrific and composition is excellent. You obviously know what you are doing. If you put the camera on a substantial tripod with a top that covers the bottom of your camera and then use your left hand to hold the camera steady you can crank without getting the bounce in your images.
Some frame movement is inevitable with these, even on super stable tripods. You are cranking pretty quickly - plus there is some gear resistance - and a very stable image is not terribly easy to attain.
FINALLY! I've been looking everywhere for a video like this! THANK YOU! THIS IS AWESOME! Hope one day I can have my own hand crank camera and make something like this
I suspect it comes from the winding of the handle. That movement must shake the camera. Plus a very flimsy looking tripod. BTW, there's a section in Bram Stoker's Dracula (when Dracula first arrives in London) that was also shot on one of these and that isn't shaky. Probably because it's mounted on sturdy modern grip equipment.
@@Lightcurvefilmstube Yes, that’s I meant, thank you. It seems that these days they don’t make film strips that are as long as 50-100ft(approximately a few minutes worth) for public. It’s mostly smaller film strips for photography film cameras, unless some people are lucky to find some old unused long film stick online to eBay or something. There’s like even this modern hand crank film camera(Lomokino) that could only do so much to compensate in using limited amount of frames in photography film rolls(by particularly capturing less frames per second and using half-frames).
@@acspectator8636 There is a misunderstanding I think. Pieter-Rim de Kroon says that 35mm motion picture negative film is still being made in 400ft and 1000ft. In fact, a revival shooting with this film is going on, for example recent films such as Tenet and Wonder Woman are recorded on film. For example, see the product list you can download from www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/order-film !
Pieter-Rim de Kroon replies: Fuji film is hardly available anymore. However, Kodak Motion Picture Film is alive and kicking. A lot of large film project work with that, for example the latest 007.
It should be a crime to take from one camera to put the part in another. The new part should be manufactured from something like an aluminum bar or something.
Not sure why they just didn’t respool the film onto the old spindle. That is very commonly done for those that have these types of old 35mm and 16mm cameras.
I want one ! Just to make everything look like original WW1 footage.
I'm surprised there aren't more videos of people shooting films on old hand cranked cameras. As far as I know this is the only one
Really amazing and charming!
@ 7:58 Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance! nice little reference....
I very much adored this short film. Thank you from Montana!
Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely amazing... the inventions from the 1800's are truly breathtaking! Wonderful to see this!

@@Kriae Hahaha, one gets used to everything. Thanks for watching.

agreed, you need a solid tripod, the frame is bouncing in the rythm of your cranking.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Mind blown by how far we've come in technology!!

Thank You!
Magic :) Great Shooting
Amazing, thank you!
Bravo.
Wonderful! That looks like a really fun camera! Takes good images too!
I really want to know how to make one of these
Well, you’re fucked is you don’t have $1000000 on standby
Look up patent information
I want to have one...
Is the shaking from the film, or from your hands?
Shaking is from the camera being cranked by hand!
I suspect it comes from the winding of the handle. That movement must shake the camera. Plus a very flimsy looking tripod.

When the film got stuck, didn't you ruin all the film when you opened it?
Not really! Only the short bit that was directly out of the magazine :-).
Where did you get that video’s worth of film strip in a time where they only make shorter strips of film for pictures?
You mean the supply of actual film? Pieter-Rim bought it at a company in Amsterdam.

Yes, 400ft and 1000ft, but you can obviously cut it down into 100ft or 50ft pieces quite easily. It's also still sold here in the UK.
Where did you find Fuji film?!
Pieter-Rim de Kroon replies: Fuji film is hardly available anymore. However, Kodak Motion Picture Film is alive and kicking. A lot of large film project work with that, for example the latest 007.
I wonder how much does one of these camera's cost on average?
Two currently on ebay US $2,275.00 / Approximately £1,637.28
@@Geese-farting-in-the-wind Yeah that doesn't surprise me. For now, I'll just lift my truck 3'' for some what less.
