i just bought an R16 and was blown away by IR footage in “ I am Cuba” , too. i want to hear everything about your trial with infra red film please 🙏🏼

I always gave the cover a good brush and blast before putting it back on.

Compliment analog girl, very clear and completed instructions !

That looks amazing. Any idea where I could rent or buy one of those?

Great intro video to the R16 Thank you!

Doesn’t the film need to be loaded in the dark?

Liked and subbed mate cheers for this enjoyed it. I tried IR film way way back and failed miserably, at that time I didn't know I needed a filter and wasn't into reading instructions back then. Earlier this year I had my X-Pro2 sensor modified to to shoot 850nm black and white IR since then I can't stop shooting the thing, I have loads of sample shoots on my wee chan, it's fun and the results so far are next level gorgeous. I'm keen next summer to try a roll of IR film again, properly this time tho'. Looking forward to seeing how you go I'll be tuning in cheers.

This would look badass for a metal video, but I do understand, its not your desired results because of the overcast, so waiting to see when you do part 2. Either way, the fun in doing it and getting the results is never wasted, because we always learn something and even if there is some footage, it can always be used for one thing or the other, because even undesired results on film are beautiful to look at, just because of the physical medium and setups doing all the things. And yes, Infrared for movie film? Hell yeah! So many great ideas for movies and music videos, dream sequences, flashbacks, visions, otherworldly places, just gorgeous.

Really cool, thanks for the video! I'm still experimenting with some old, expired (Jan '69) 16mm 50' magazines of Kodak High Speed Infrared HIR film. Definitely a different breed of film :)

Great to see you again! I subscribed this time. Is FFP developing this film? I am getting tired of it. There are a lot of sunny days now to shoot it. I bought a cheap filter then forgot about it for stills.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I was just placing an order on FFP and was curious about this new infrared on 16mm, the infrared might be a little advanced for me, but I was curious, when you said that you hand process, what do you use? I hand process but like bucket developing in my bathroom with my own DIY cafenol developer. Also, I Am Cuba is amazing, didn't know it was partially shot on infrared!

I didn't even know they sold 16mm cuts of infrared film, so thanks for sharing! Look forward to part 2

I just got my Beaulieu R16 (automatic) working! I had someone do a custom job so I have to plug it into a power source since the batteries were shot, and I LOVE it, I usually shoot on a K3 but I wanted Beaulieu (it was also the Chris Marker camera he used to shoot Sans Soliel). This is perfect! I was curious about magazine but it sounds like more trouble than its worth. I also have a Beaulieu super 8mm and in the same predicament, would that battery pack work with the S8? The power adapter/batteries are different so I'm curious.

Outstanding. I can't imagine! Also, just discovered your channel today. Subscribed!

so happy to have found your channel. i love the solutions you found to "scan" the film. hope to see more uploads :)

make more videos on here please :)

Really neat device and a really high end Bolex. Thanks.

Glad you posted this video and I’m glad that people are still using his devices. I only met Dan twice but he was very kind and very generous with his time.

Your videos are a great resource on film shooting and the R16 in particular. I've shared your videos with some of my students. I teach cinematography and thanks to the renewed interest in film and shows like Euphoria, more and more of my students are asking about shooting on film. I'm currently building a battery for a recently acquired R16. As you have several R16's, I'm wondering if any of them make a clunking sound when rocked side it side. I'm planning to send the camera out for an overhaul anyhow, but I'm curious if the clunking sound is common. I had an R16 20 years ago and seem to remember in did the same thing but I can't be certain I'm remembering that correctly.

He looked like the Godfather. I like your film lab, the bathtub! There was nice contrast. Great job.

This was awesome. I bet more filmmakers will try this out now that you've given them an idea of how to go about it. xoxoxoxo

So very cool! and the prope lens telecine is genius! I also feel like there are the seeds of a DIY scanner in there if there is a way to slow down the motor a little to a rate that a camera can scan frame by frame maybe like 5-10 fps

I'm going to get one of these cameras one day and do you know why I would choose a Beaulieu R16 over anything else? It's just so darn beautiful looking. Just like the Citroen DS21 car I owned years ago, very quirky but so cool.

Beautiful : )

Cool video. Wonder why it took so long for the algorithm to offer it to me. I got an R16 Super zoom earlier in the year. Need to find time to put more film through it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqeXdK2vidKNoNk

Thank you for this video! Super helpful, I wanted to know if you can provide the links to where I can find some of the accessories such as the pistol grip & the flat base

Nice and clear tutorial, thanks. Keep on the good stuff🙂 ps. I notised that your battery handle is a littlebit loose in this film. My advise to everyone is to keep the handle tight as the body of camera and the area where the tripod thread is located is very soft and it is posssible to twist or even crack the body there. A long time ago I used my first R16 on a tripod without the handle and the body around tripod socket twisted when I leant against the camera. Fortunately I managed to make the body straight again and since then I have aways kept the handle attached when using tripod.

Brilliant!!

Thanks for the video. I never had my hands on one of those cameras. The battery option is nice to avoid winding.

Recently obtained a Beaulieu R16 and got it working, thanks for showing a slow and detailed version of the loading process. Saved me a few hundred dollars of ruining film.

Very informative and well presented video- thank you! What a lovely camera

OMG this camera is beautiful. Someday I’ll have one:)

Excellent stuff!! 😊

Wonderful. Good to see you. Welcome.
