Rodney Bourke reports ( Nov 2012 )Filmmaking in 35mm, 9.5mm, 16mm, 8mm, Single 8/Super
Keep your originals on FILM, “Saving the Past, and our Heritage”
for Family, Filmmaking and Future Generations.
Why Film?
Although it was back in the 1930’s that Kodachrome was developed, it wasn’t until the 80’sthatSuper 8 Kodachrome was scanned and calculated as having at least 1,200 lines resolution, 16/9 Max Super 8 at 1,500, 9.5mm/16mm Kodachrome at 3,600 lines and 35mm at least 6,000 to10,000 linesdepending on film stock being used( That’s 6 to 10K ) 70mm is three times the size again with (18 to 30K)and IMAX well over ( 100K ), But since Kodachromehas been discontinued. Living in the Millennium, New developments have happened in Film Technology, with Fuji Velvia, Kodak’s Negative Film Stocks being released with resolution, definition and colours like Kodachrome.
For the opposite effect you can use high speed film, designed mainly for night cinematography, giving that grainy look with a warm texture, and artistic feeling that pixelscannot immolate.
Just about every Digital Cinema in Australia is showing 2K resolution that’s only twice as good as Blue ray. Some say Digital HD Video 720 or 1080 lines resolution has replaced Film!But I say it is only a replacement for Digital DVD with 500 lines, Laserdisc 420 lines, and Analogue Beta & VHS 240 lines. In fact for Archiving always keep your original Master on FILM, by making a transfer, to whatever Video format comes along,you have the best of both worlds. One does not replace the other, but can complement the other.
Make many copies from Film to Video, and send to Relatives, in case of Theft, Storms, Fire, Mould, Floods, Earthquakes, Mudslides and Tornados, Cyclones, Twisters, Hurricanes Tsunami. Etc.
As Video, Computers and Phones are always updating themselvesand becoming Redundant, Out of date, and Worthless. Real Filmmakers using Real Film don’t have this problem, whatyou learn Today isstill applicable Tomorrow, as film has the highest resolution, the equipment still retains its valueand Usefulness. Thus allowing the filmmaker the Convenience to make acopy to alesser medium like DVD.
High Resolution Film (Sun)
R25N Fuji Single 8, 40 ASA Kodachrome, 40 ASA Plus-X, 50ASA Fuji Velvia, Pro 8 /45 50D Neg
Medium Resolution Film (Cloud)
Kodak 64T, 100ASA Kodak Plus-X B&W, 100ASA Fuji Velvia, Pro 8 /12 100T Neg
Low Resolution Film (Night)
RT200N Fuji Single 8, 200ASA Kodak Tri-X B&W, 200 & 500T Kodak Vision Neg, Pro 8 200T to 500T Neg
FILM STILL HAS THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION/DEFINITION
New 16mm film stock, will look just as good weather it is in a 16mm Movie Camera made in 1920’s or year 2000’s. Same with Still FILM
New 35mm Still Film Stock, in an old 35mm Still Camera from 1930’s will look as good as a year 2000’s model.
Not so with Digital every year there being outdated in resolution, with new Cameras and new Memory Cards. Film users don’t have this problem.
Want to buy a cheap 22 Megapixel camera, then buy a 35mm FILM SLR, this is the result of a Fuji Velvia Slide, according to Australian Photography Magazine, February 2005, Page 74.
For Higher Definition try Medium Format 127, 120/220 & 620 roll film, from 4X4, 6X6, 6X9& 6X12 that’s 4 to 24 times the size of 35mm(were looking at 40 to 500 Megapixel camera ).

FILM STOCK ALIVE & REVIVED NEW EKTACHROME & FUJI VELVIA
Since Kodachrome Film has been discontinued, NEW films have been released.
THE NEW Kodak SUPER 8 EKTACHROME 64T & 100D. Note: not all Super 8 cameras,
can correctly expose these films, I recommend ,
to do a TEST ROLL to see if it comes out fine, or
you may have reduce exposure to light by ½ or 1 stop.
The New Super 8 Fuji Velia 50 ASA seems to work on all Super 8 cameras with a correct exposure, But to be 100% sure before making your Hollywood master piece I recommend always do a TEST ROLL, and write down your experiments. eg Day, Night, Indoors, Outdoors, Sun, Shade, 1, 9, 18, 24 Frames Per Second, Zoom in & out, Macro. And try different film stocks to suit your needs, etc. And read your Instruction manual.
Kodak also continues to make Black & White Super 8,160 ASA Tri-X.
