Hi guys, I just bought a Braun Nizo 481 macro and I have tested it all with batteries and it seems operational. The one problem is that I cannot see the pointer on the light meter. I have tried switching the manual control around to see if it appears but there doesn't seem to be any pointer...

Yeah, actually that makes sense! I was also wondering how I know when the batteries in the camera work? It has the batteries in it but the battery check line thing remains on the 'S' whatever that means? Thanks again :)

Thanks for the reply! Why would I lose 20 frames of film? (Also, that sounds like a lot but as it's filming 24 frames per second I'm hoping that is the equivalent to losing about a seconds-worth of film?

Hi guys. I have super canon 514 xl-s. When I attach the wide angle C8 lens it blurs when fully zoomed in - is this normal/why is this? When I do not have the lens attached there is no blur when fully zoomed in... Any info would be cool! :D

Hi guys. I have two super 8 cameras that I just got. I want to test out how Ektachrome 100D looks on both of them but I only have one cartridge... I don't really have any idea as to how these thigns work and was wondering if it is at all possible to film a minute on one and then take out the...

Hmmm what did you not like? Is not like a normal wide-angle lens?

Hi guys. I just bought a Canon 514 XL-S and I have the oppurtunity to get hold of a wide angle C8 lens for it. Firstly, is £30 a good price for this lens? Secondly does this lens actually make that much of a difference? Has anyone ever used this lens - I have had a look on youtube to see the...

Aaaah ok, thanks for that info - so it is pointless buying a camera that says 'sound' as if that is some sort of advantage. So, can we only film silent or post-dub on super 8mm film then? Thanks for the reply

Hi guys. I'm thinking of investing in a Super 8 camera and have noticed that lots do not record sound. There are a few that do say they record sound and they come with mics but I thought that super 8 sound film was no longer in existence/made and any would be extremely expensive. Is sound film...

Hi mate. Wow. Thanks for all the help. ok, so it will definitely not be cheap. I like the sound of 16mm - I live near Southampton in the UK, I will do a search, don't worry! If you could take a quick look at this camera on eBay and tell me what you think I would really appreciate that. Thanks...

Hi guys. I would really like to shoot on film (either 8/16/35mm - not fussed). The thing is I have no idea where to start. I do not have a camera yet - I have been looking on eBay but I'm not sure what is good/reliable.... Also, if I were to buy a camera where does one buy film these days? Can...

Do you guys know if he used any other effects? I end up just sounding like some foreign person trying to speak English!

Oooh right so I would actually need to purchase extra equipment! (I'm just doing a student film) so is there no way to alter the DOP with just the settings some bloke mentioned messing with the 'iris' but this just seemed to change the light levels...

Hey guys I'm trying to create a 'film look' shooting 25f on the Canon HXA1. I can't figure out how to get rid of that indefinite depth of focus that video has and focus just on my subject with the background slightly blurry, like in film. Does anyone know how to do this? I've changed to manual...

cool thanks for the tip Uranium!

thanks a lot for that info mate, really appreciated!

I did read that somewhere but the actors actions look like they are normal? Did he just get them to act backwards as well? It must have been hard getting them to say everything backwards!

Hi guys, I'm a movie making n00b and have been given an asignment to create a film using sound effects and, being a huge David Lynch fan I immediately thought of the weird voice effect from Twin Peaks, you can hear it here if you skip to about 3:40 - I really want to recreate this but don't know...

Oh, I just had a look on amazon and the general net and it looks like the Canon EOS 550D is a regular camera? Not a camcorder?

Thanks for the edvice guys, really appreciated I'll check out that canon. This may be a stupid question but how do you use lighting when you are filming, for example the stars?
