No, it’s American with a windup action, 10min reels.
I put it away some time ago so I’ll have to dig for it.
I’ll post the details as soon as I find it.

@inky,
I’ve got a 16mm camera with 2 lenses you can buy cheap, a real collectors item
and in the original box!!!
If your interested I’ll post the details.

Nice thread,
personally for a planned project I’ll be using a Canon HD for the main shots and a few SD cams
for fills and angles, SD cams (miniDV) are so cheap now you can mount them on microphone stands and just let them run on their own for a scene then edit the footage in After Effects to be mixed with the HD footage.
A good Canon pro HD (XL series) costs about 2000 euros in New York these days.
As stated above there is really no reason to use 35 or 16 mm anymore, they are just too dear
to play with (try and get some 16mm footage processed and you’ll see what I mean).

Then again there are HD cameras and there are HD cameras the HD format is still being
developed, you want a frame rate of 60 for fast stuff but most of the cameras do this interlaced and not progressive.

I usually use firefox with the latest plugins, but I just tested it with IE8.
On IE8 it is taking a very long time to buffer and I have a fairly fast connection (5Mbit).
If you are using anything other then flv for your trailers like quicktime (quicktime is good for
editing but not good for the net) or realmedia (realmedia has a good file size for
sending acoss the net, but not for streaming) you should convert to flv for videos,
if for no other reason then it buffers fast and plays quick.

The Riva converter used to be free but now they want money (sic mundo transit)
there are still some copies of the free version floating around on the net. If you like
I could email you one.

cheers

Sorry egosean san,
Next time I’ll try and tell you something you don’t know ” title=”Very Happy” />
btw,what do you think of my comment regarding VBR vs. CBR on the net?
Most web browsers just can’t figure out how to play VBR (variable bit rate) on the net
so the sound speeds up and slows down and sounds like Donald Duck. This goes for mp3
music as well as video encoded with mp3.

After viewing your Trails on the "eye ball catching" page in my browser this seemed
to be the problem.

Just trying to be helpful, just recode the video files (flv) with CBR (constant bit rate).

You can put the kettle on now

cheers,
firebug
