This Movie Camera Was in World War 2 | EYEMO 35mm

[@DanafoxyVixen]

Beautiful camera and that colour footage is fantastic. if only the cost comes down

[@GucciNathan]

It's actually much cheaper to get 35mm movie film developed if you get that film developed at The Negative Space by Nicki Coyle. 35mm 4-perf costs about $0.40 per feet, so if you had 100 feet of film, it would cost about $40 plus other charges like shipping, timed color correction, and tax.

[@amberola1b]

that color footage you shot looked so sharp and professional, it looked like a live image instead of film. 35mm looks simply beautiful, and you`re so lucky to have those cameras.

[@johnkaplun9619]

I have never been so thrilled to see a cow eat some hay

[@blackhellebore89]

Wasn't she beautiful!?

[@mracdcjailbreak]

The footage you got has that intagible vintage feel, it was absolutely worth the cost of film and developing!

[@werdlederdle]

Noah. The film you shot is so beautiful. Worth every penny. What an amazing camera and piece of history. I’d definitely love to see if you shot some B&W and devved it yourself. A beautiful beast. Good to see you again!

[@kelleebolden7936]

I know I'm late but excellent video, Noah. I have 2 Eyemos that I picked up years ago. They're both 1926,1927 71As. I'm lucky to have the cases and grip handles with the leather wrist straps. They are both in very nice condition. They shoot in 12,16, 24 fps. You've inspired me to spool some 35mm reels and try them out however, I think I'll film in the 35mm silent speed of 16fps. Thanks for all of your hard work you put into this channel it's one of my favorites of KZbin.

[@Thejunoroux]

Ahhh I’ve been patiently waiting for a new video ❤

[@guilhermetrojan3674]

I love how every frame is so sharp!!! surreal! Indeed awesome as documental machine!

[@khanscombe619]

Blooming brilliant. I enjoy just running test rolls through my camera or random films on the portable projector

[@endi3386]

Incredible! I've never seen someone in the modern era actually take the time to properly shoot using an old movie camera, so I'm so glad you did. The footage is mesmerising to watch, despite how simple the subjects are

[@stealthiestboy]

This makes me realize how much I take filming things for granted on my phone. There's something special about treasuring the moment you want to capture with film, versus just recording whatever you want at any time on a phone.

[@MitchSprague]

I'll ask a question you've probably heard a bunch. There are no Army records to show who was issued the camera based on the serial number? Your explanation of how this beautiful machine works is so very excellent.

[@russpeck1320]

Wow, Noah, I am impressed with this video (accurate history, professionally presented), your Eyemo footage (you use a tripod...bless you!), and you as a person (infectious enthusiasm). As a 66 year old motion picture tech and audio/video engineer , I appreciate a young person like you getting excited about this old "outdated" stuff. The sound of these old cameras and projectors have always made me happy, and I can relate to your idea of using it as white noise to sleep to (I'm glad to find there's at least one other weird person in this world!). I have an Eyemo, DeVry, Auricons, Filmos, and a lot of other stuff that I need to use more. Keep up the great work, and be an inspiration to all of your peers! Subsribed!

[@AnalogResurgence]

Thank you so much for such a kind message!

[@PlanetImo]

This was really interesting! Thank you :)

[@peterangusphotography3423]

Another outstanding video. There is a quality to all your videos that ensure that they are always an instant must watch when I get a notification from KZbin! Even when it’s a movie camera which is something I probably would never use as a purely still shooter, but it’s still film and super interesting to see. I look forward to all your future work.

[@floorboard8]

Astonishing results! And the episode itself is a masterclass for those of us who have read about these cameras but longed for detailed information. When I started watching I had no idea you would end up trialling the workflow and then show the footage. Wonderful that this object has travelled all that way through time and works as well now as the day it left the factory. So grateful for your time, effort and expense in making this content for us. Thank you!

[@wmwanderer]

What a footage! It really had the 'uncanny valley' feeling, with that classic look, but modern cars etc... thanks for sharing this with us :)

[@juaane]

Thank you for this great video. Very interesting and entertaining ❤ it wonderful of you to share your experiences and knowledge

[@DaarkCloud]

Spectacular work as always Noah! I love this video so much ❤❤❤ It's incredible to see such an old camera perform the way it did. The cost is so intense, but wow those results ❤❤❤

[@qvarfoto]

Wow, fantastic video about a fantastic piece of camera history that I had not heard about until earlier this morning. And I totally get what you mean about old film gear doing something to your brain - I was gifted an old 8mm manual crank video camera from a friend a few years ago. I love the thing to bits and I can wind it up and just sit there and listen to it chug away for a good amount of time. It's therapeutic as hell. Thanks for putting in the time (and cash) to make this video, Noah. Highly appreciated! Cheers

[@danielleatherdale7764]

Wonderful video Noah!. Thanks again for taking us on another analog adventure!

[@cinekodakexp]

Very nice job, Noah! I own a 35mm Devry Lunchbox and have used to it to film around my area and around conventions.

[@justlikeswimming5988]

So much fun, really enjoyed your eyemo journey! In this day of AI videos presenting incredibly realistic but fake events, having the physical reality of filmed events is even more precious, and perhaps even more needed. I'm dabbling with 8mm movie film, the eyemo 35mm is SO tempting! Looking forward to your future work with your eyemo, I'll be keeping an eye out for that rare eyemo to come my way.

[@richardsimms251]

Really excellent video. RS. Canada

[@johnmilner0859]

Lovely story, camera and footage 👏👏

[@maul485]

That color film is GORGEOUS

[@DasOnkl]

Impressive how stable the footage looks! I'm into scanning 35mm myself. The only cheap things to scan you will find online are Trailers. Which sadly are really Bad copies of their original films tho.

[@roythomasbussell4770]

Very cool video, thanks for going to all this bother to show us the results!

[@xander1052]

Really shows just how much the lens affects how images are rendered. this does really feel like much of the older 1950s colour footage I have digitally transferred.

[@gianlusc]

The color footage. WOW! 😮

[@PostromoPictures]

Really great video as always. Love these old cameras, especially when they're beyond 16mm. Also, if you need to scan 35mm film in Toronto, a few folks I know have scanners of their own - would be happy to look into it, feel free to get in touch if you'd like!

[@TristanColgate]

The scooter going through at the end of the shot of the street and shop front absolute makes it all worth it :) After you mentioned the lack of frame registration pin, it was really surprising how steady that footage is.

[@AnalogResurgence]

I was surprised myself at how steady the footage looked! Even with the basic transport mechanism the Eyemo gave me such fantastic results.

[@colinstu]

Those color results look great!

[@bobbyx5373]

Marvellous video, very informative and interesting.

[@tomjanowski8584]

Your results were excellent...especially the color. Though the black and white had that awesome vintage look. Yes, the costs involved are expensive. I was recently gifted a Bell & Howell still camera...the Electric Eye 127. What I thought I knew about Bell & Howell was proven wrong. I thought they made and sold either cheap cameras or sold cameras made by other manufacturers that were rebranded as B&H. The Electric Eye 127 is quite impressive. It is supposedly an equivalent to the Kodak Brownie with some unique features and upgrades. The body is cast aluminum. The body is black with a tan tweed covering and a tweed case. It has a selenium meter that alters the aperture instead of the shutter speed. The aperture is altered by 2 curved metal arms, each moves independently of each other to change the size of the aperture. Very impressive camera. I'm waiting to get my first roll of film back.

[@craigw.scribner6490]

Thanks!

[@brad_hensil]

My favorite use of the Eyemo was for the Snorricam shots in Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream

[@sotocinematics]

This is the same reason I can't justify using my Filmo 70: the cost! I wish cost wasnt an issue as my 16mm shots came out crystal clear like yours.

[@ClassicalRips]

The side of your camera where the viewfinder should be looks very similar to the two mounting points for the Bolex Octameter on the side of my non-reflex H16 M

[@marcopolimeni2356]

VERY NICE VIDEO, REALLY ! Thanks ! I think the shutter angle was modified to have a shortest exposure time to get sharpest frames and reduce the motion blur due to the vibrations of the bomber plane on which it was mounted; in this case the main goal of the footage was check the targets destroyed and to do this in detail they need to see every single frame the sharpest was possible . Even Stanley Kubrick was an Eyemo owner; he used this camera in his early movies, like Killer's Kiss (1955) or Day of the Fight (1951).

[@Kodachrome40]

The Eymo was essential in the production of the television show The Dukes of Hazzard. These cameras were strapped to the bumpers and fenders of the General Lee and also put in a hole in the ground so the General Lee could drive over it. It was a cheap camera that was durable and could be rebuilt if damaged. It was cheaper than using the expensive Panavision cameras used on the set.

[@jmalmsten]

The original "Crash cams". If the camera got lucky, it got a box around it that could act as crumple zones. :) Today, this role is largely replaced with action cams like DJI and GoPro's. Unless you can splurge on a nicer yet small-ish and reliable cine-cam. As I understand it. It's one of the things Sony sells their Venice cams for. As they can hide most of the bulk in the vejicle and only have sensor and lens outside. Still really exoensive. But if you wipe out. The recording is probably fine even if the lens and sensor gets smoshed. But I sm a bit curios about those dukes of hazard rigs. As the takes were short. 30 sec from start to end of spring tension. From start to most of the aftermath. And the cars had to get up to speed for the shots. I guess they rigged up a remote recording cable release? So the stunt driver can trigger the cam as he's approaching the action area of the set and still have a few feet of footage left to get the debris? Dang, now you made me wanna see these details. :P

[@motorlibro]

If you are talking about WWII cameras, don't forget the GSAP gun cameras. 16mm magazine load, there were a bunch around in the 70's surplus market - I had two and ran them off of motorcyle batteries (they were 24v)

[@africanpenguin3282]

I feel sad i missed out on this medium of history. The magic of the chemistry is so wonderful. I wish it made a bigger comeback in a way. The closest I can really do cost effectively is vhs to difital lol

[@pd1jdw630]

I was amazed by the quality of the color film. Even though it was only 2 minutes. It’s good and nice to see film coming back to cinema. The latest Leonardo de Caprio movie was largely shot on film. So there’s that.

[@bobbleczar]

Duuuude! I see you steenbeck at 15:33 - I edited 16mm on one of those in college.

[@DethronerX]

Great to have a new video after forever. That's one camera I always wanted to have and this video gets more into using it and what we would face if we tried to get it. I don't know how I would get the right amount of film and a spool to mount on it, but if I do, id definitely send it out for development and processing. To spend that much money would mean that either its a paying project, or at least I shoot something that is meaningful to me that is good enough to share online. This of course comes after test shooting, which is important before doing anything major. So now that you have tested it out and especially got killer color results, what would you shoot with it in the future? You know, Grindcore and Punk songs can be 1 minute long : D : D

[@spookisghostly4619]

I have a little standard 8 bolex that can shoot 64 frames and it sounds like a buzz saw I love it

[@schmollywood]

Hi Noah, love the channel! Did you possibly make a video about how you created your intro? I didn’t find one, but would be very interested!

[@jamescooksonphoto]

For developing your Tri-X motion picture film you should try out caffenol stand developing. I use that for all my black and white still film and I get amazing results no matter what film I'm using. Total time of 70 minutes developing time with fixer and water wash afterwards and I get some great looking negatives (slight brown tinted film base color included).

[@PhuocTr]

The level of detail is insane

[@entity9742]

Hey so i was wondering if you could do a video covering the auricon 16mm camera one day? Theres alot of amplifiers and cameras out there but primarily i was wondering about the cm-72 model for its audio recording capability Ideally it wont sound perfect but i feel that it would be something worth while to dabble in for both recording audio and video simultaneously

[@utterlee]

The b/w footage looked properly from the 40s. The colour stuff looked really incredible too. Nothing quite like real motion pictures.

[@endi3386]

I think it actually looked way older than footage from the 1940s. Considering most footage from the 40s you see now is degraded and compressed to hell by being copied 100 times, losing quality and resolution each time - it originally would have looked a lot more like the colour footage he shot. The B&W looked more like quality you'd find on film cameras from the 1890s to 1910s.

[@utterlee]

@@endi3386 I think amateur development aside it looked exactly like the kind of war photography from the 40s that these cameras recorded. Obviously Hollywood stuff from that era looked far superior.

[@endi3386]

@@utterlee No, I watch war handheld footage from the 40s all the time, and it looks a lot better than that. It definitely looks more late 19th and early 20th century. By the 1940s handheld stuff looked a lot better in its original format.

[@utterlee]

@@endi3386 Well it's all very subjective so you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

[@endi3386]

@@utterlee Not really a matter of opinion. This channel has a lot of old film scanned in its original resolution, and as you can see its much, much higher fidelity than what is normally seen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqauZIh9isRjhNU

[@uomoartificiale]

Here what I though: shucks! It would definitely cost too much to shoot a film with this. Then I realized that with a 10-20k budget you could in theory shoot a short 10min film. I would definitely consider to completely light shoot and edit a short film in digital first to take care of the planning editing etc... And THEN reshoot it from the ground up on film (recording audio on tape etc...) Absolutely not practical but nothing here is and that's the point of it.

[@chasiu75]

The long cuts between scenes makes it feel like there is a problem with the video.

[@MarksPhoto]

Thank you for sacrificing so many loonies on the altar of film. May the youtube gods look favorably upon you, and not demonetize this video. Just be sure to take the 'business write-off' on your taxes. You did miss one odd little 35mm cine camera- the Debrie Sept. They did make some larger cameras in the 20s, but the Sept is a hand-holdable little 4 perf camera, about the size of a TLR. It can take still pics or motion at ?? fps. It uses little 135 style cartridges that hold about 5m of film - so you don't get a lot of time. I have one, and managaed to get it to work, and have run some film through it. Working on getting it scanned. FPP doesn't want to do less than 100' however. In a way, it was an original crash cam, it was said to be used in filming the chariot races in the original Ben Hur

[@pierrecrampagne6826]

Si vous avez trouvé en l'état cette caméra, et que le film soit bien conservé, et que l'on puisse faire des prises de vues, avec un développement adapté, c'est vraiment bien. La pellicule est celle que vous employez sur votre appareil photo ( format) qui fait une image ( 24 x 36) au lieu de deux dans ce même cadrage pour le cinéma. Ne jamais oublier qu'on est pas photographe et cinéaste en même temps. On peut-être très bon et disposé à l'un ou a l'autre, avec la technique qui va avec. Un film photo sera toujours moins cher qu'une grosse bobine d'E a s t m a n K o d a k avec laquelle on pourrait faire du film au mètre, mais a ne jamais faire cela, surtout garder la pellicule photo au mètre ainsi que les bains photos et ne jamais intervertir les pellicules ( les unes dans les bains des autres)

I thought the WW2 models were 16mm, I didn't see the point of doing 35mm because of cost and resources.

[@russpeck1320]

Both 16mm and 35mm was shot extensively in World War II. One way to ID which format was being shot is to look at how "fat" the camera appears when somebody is photographing the cameraman. The 16mm Filmo and the 35mm Eyemo look pretty much identical except for this "fatness" where the film goes. You'll see a lot of both! Part of the reason why a lot of 35mm was shot was so that it could be shown without a loss of quality in the movie theater newsreels.

[@allys537]

I might have a hundred feet of E100 from my 400’ roll, I bet that would look fantastic projected! I just have to look in the freezer and try to remember if I bulked it to cassettes or not, I sold enough to pay for the whole roll, bulk 300’ and have 100’ already paid for. It’s the stuff I sent you a while back. Those short roll, remember? That color footage looks sublime, what a great thing to have and look back at, your younger selves on real 35mm film! Who develops 100’ of Ektachrome though?
