I got interested in 16mm film after doing lots of digital videography and then wanting to experiment with a film look. Well what better way of getting a film look than doing it with real film. I have some experience with black and white photography and dark room work. At first came 8mm, but when I found it hard to get good digital captures of 8mm I found the answer to be 16 mm. The cameras are not expensive and they seem much more robust and industrial compared to finicky, consumer grade super 8 cameras that were not made to work after 10 years. In this blog I plan to further explore 16mm and pass on what little I have learned for other folks interested. I am a confessed cheap skate so expect to find here inexpensive ways to play with analog film.
