Before you shoot on the Krasnogorsk 3...(Pros/Cons)

[@leodecristoforo3027]

2:27 That's actually because the camera you used was modified to super16mm by exchanging the gate from the original 4:3 one. So the Viewfinder is actually very acurate, it just doesn't cover the additional frame space that you get with the super 16 conversion. Cheers!

[@nikkohunt]

Thanks that makes sense.

[@johansermartinez9287]

Damn so what would be the best way to frame for a shot? I just bought a super 16 model

[@decristoforo1]

@@johansermartinez9287 Congrats to your purchase! Just keep in mind that the frame goes approx. 25% further on the right side than what you see on set. So what I did was, if I wanted a person frame center in the final image, I would frame them slightly to the right in the viewfinder. In general its good to keep the frame slightly wider than what you intend since you might want to crop in to frame out dust or particles on the gate edges. Since you can’t detach the entire Mag like with Arri SR cameras, checking the gate in between shots isn’t an option

Sweet music video dude! I shot 16mm for the first time on a project a few months back with the K-3

[@nikkohunt]

Thanks a load dude!! I'll have to check it out!

Images look beautiful! Your work is beautiful, stoked on your channel! Just got my first roll back on my k3. Pumped to keep using it!

[@nikkohunt]

Cheers! I really appreciate the kind words. Excited to see what you shoot on it!

[@jollovision]

Great and informative Video! Crazy cool results on the music video- really cool! I also shot on a K3 for the first time recently and I loved it. I think the problem you mention with the framing comes from the conversion to Super16. Originally the camera shoots in 4:3/ regular 16 but it`s fairly easy to convert it to Super 16 (using a broader filmgate and a lens re-centering ring to make use of most of the negative)...this of course is great but also means that the actual center of the image is about 10 percent more to the right compared to the viewfinder view.

[@nikkohunt]

Thanks Julius! Wow crazy you know that! I think that would make a lot of sense!

[@TheAlleycatboy]

thank you so much! please tell more about K-3 and your experience with it at production & post-production too

[@nikkohunt]

Thank you so much! I have another video named "Shooting a music video on 16mm film" which might show you more about my experience shooting and processing the film.

[@markwinterlin]

really helpful thanks

[@ssimplefilms]

Goddam love mine!, although shooting anything unpredictable such as wildlife or surfing is testing. I don’t hunt but I imagine it’s similar in relation to the patients needed to just wait for the right moment and hope you don’t blow it haha. Here in Australia one roll after purchase, processing, telecine and shipping works out around $300 🤯

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Are you sure your K3 wasn't actually converted to Super16 which resulted in a misaligned frame? This is also why i can't stand these conversions and just rather wanna shoot normal 16mm as it was supposed to be. And if you can#t find a M42 wide-lense you could have just as well gotten a K-mount Lens with manual F-stop and an M42 Adapter.

[@JR-lw8yu]

Good video. My K-3 is in the mail to me. I will be trying my m42 Carl Zeiss Jena 20mm f4 for wide shots. It's a great lens. Standard shots with a m42 Takumar 24mm. I will also try a Mir-1 37mm with an anamorphic adapter.

[@nikkohunt]

Thanks! really appreciate the variety of lenses! I'll check them out!

[@JR-lw8yu]

@@nikkohunt Hi Nikko, I watched your other K-3 video on the making of the music video. The music video turned out great. I can see what I might accomplish with that camera. I like your teaching style, so I watched the Burma video too. I'm a geography professor in Texas and will show that one in class because it conveys a sense of place. I subscribed and will watch your others. I started making place based documentaries in 2019 and the third M42 lens I use is the Zeiss Biotar 58mm. Small, light, inexpensive, with an imperfect look were the criteria for the m42s. I added an inexpensive speed booster and tripled the focal lengths and utility. I needed an inexpensive film studio in a small back pack and found it. I appreciate your work. Thank you

[@jochemmessmer]

Awesome stuff man! How did you achieve the slow shutter stuff in music video at 2;46?

[@nikkohunt]

On the side of the Krasnagorsk, is a knob that has the shutter speed numbers 8 - 12 - 16 - 24 - 32 and 48 on it. Above each number is a red dot. We simply put the setting on 8 or 12 and swung the camera round a bit!

[@twenty-fourframedavinci8641]

How did you guys swap the film reels inside the camera during the shoot? To my knowledge the K3 only accepts two 100ft spools of films, which is equal to about 5 mins of footage. Is that all you guys needed for each day?

[@nikkohunt]

Yo! We got through about 2 rolls each day. You can only load one roll of 100ft a time. We changed the roll in the daylight after it was finished.

[@twenty-fourframedavinci8641]

@@nikkohunt wow. I knew you could load the camera in daylight, but I didn’t know you could unload it in daylight.

[@elplaysgames]

great video! I just bought a k-3.still waiting for it to arrive. I have a question how do you record sound when making short films or any video with the k-3 since it doesn't record sound.

[@nikkohunt]

Hi Jules, we used our Iphone to record sound, and a film slate to indicate what scene we were shooting. This helped us sync the sound in post. When we recorded each take, we named the voice memo the same name we had on the film slate. You can also use external recorders such as the zoom H4N or any field recorder for that matter.

[@revue7920]

Any Idea what Adapter I need to get the Meteor 17-69mm Lense that comes with the Krasnogorsk 3 to fit on my bmpcc 6k? A usual m42 to Eos Adapter Ring doesn't fit:/

[@nikkohunt]

I have not a clue! But hopefully somebody might be know in this comments section

Amazing video Nikko. How did you do the slow shutter speed shots? which settings?

Who makes 16mm film now and where can you buy it from ?

[@JR-lw8yu]

Kodak makes it, and it is widely available. Search and you will find companies that have a package that includes Kodak film, developing, and 4k digital scan.

[@doctorstrobe]

unless I'm mistaken, the K3 has a M42 mount, which should give you an insane choice of lenses... Most M42 photo lenses should be used with this camera. I'm a photographer and I have a Tair 11A and several other good photo lenses with the m42 mount. The Helios and its swirling bokeh is fun too, and very cheap.

[@gingrsnap1951]

You seem to be pretty close on some shots did you find you could get closer than the listed minimum focusing range of 2m?

We were one hundred percent within 1 meter at times.

Hello! Thank you for the video. I have a question - After the entire reel has been shot, should the film be sent to the lab on a take-up reel? Thank you in advance!

Any reel will do, most people will simply have a regular plastic take-up reel, so no need to rewind.

this is what happens when theres a renewed interest into old equipment. I used to be able to grab a bolex for 80 bucks, now theyre in the 2000 range.

[@fbnx4219]

Yeah, I think about 10 years ago, 100€ was the price that you usually would pay for a K3 with a bunch of accessories. (Here in Germany). But sometimes even less than that. I've seen them go for 50-60€ on eBay if it was just the camera with the meteor lens and nothing else with it.

[@andreihzy]

550 Euro? You've been ripped off. On another take: I've upgraded to an Arriflex 16ST. That's still an affordable choice and already on the edge of professional.

I dont think you've actually looked into their pricing these days. you'd be lucky to find one now for that little. if you can find them for a lot less than 550 I would start snapping them up to re sell them. im not joking
