Road trip from the most northeastern point in the continental United States (Lubec), Hiking the Bold Coast and Acadia National park. Captured on Kodak 50D and 500T Super 8 film with a Canon 814xls @Kodak Motion Picture Film @Kodak Super8

This is how beautiful Super 8 can look like when you get a high quality scan. Why wouldn't you want your footage to have the most detail it can have? Awesome film, thanks for sharing.

[@DonLorenzo723]

This is some of the nicest super 8 footage I've ever seen!

[@StymyParsley]

I love that people are getting 8mm scanned at 4K. Some people say it’s worthless but it’s like you’re getting the absolute best out of the negative that you can. And it resolves a shocking amount of detail actually. Beautiful footage.

[@victorcasillas8057]

That is a hell of scan. Never seen one of super 8 this good. It looks like 16mm.

[@csound55]

Nothing beats the real thing.

[@existentialcrisis9757]

Quality wise, it looks more like 16mm. Bloody marvelous!

[@Lexymay2002]

you have the eye of an artist, i love this sm.

[@StanielJeffries]

I adore lighthouses. Thank you for this!

[@wado1942]

Very nice. Your S8 looks better than a lot of KZbinrs' 16mm. I'm starting to wish I hadn't sold my Canon 1014AZ.Electronic.

[@AAMPictures]

This is a feeling.

[@RoryKramer]

Which film was used for your sunset shot ? Thanks

[@RyanNavazio]

Most likely 500T

[@joemommatoonz]

Gorgeous! I just ordered my first 8mm tape (200T) and am very excited to try it out! Lovely work 😍

[@anzaeria]

I hope the 200T turns out well. Though remember, these cameras shoot film, not tape.

[@acecreates]

I just adored this!

[@Dbkpictures]

Amazing video! I just have a quick question. Did you have to put your film through tsa x rays at the airports. If so is it safe to. Thank you

[@SUBORNOVISION]

Such a nice quality movie..Amazing.

Thank you, and thanks for watching !!

[@JohnLuna]

hands down the best super 8 film I've seen. did you have exposure control?

[@RyanNavazio]

Thanks so much! Yes, this is all manually exposed on the canon 814xls.

[@lo_batt]

nice footage , how many rolls did this video take to make only 2?

[@RyanNavazio]

I shot 3 rolls but only 2 completed for this. The other roll was about 3/4

@@RyanNavazio awesome! Well I have a Super 16 modded K-3, which already has some more weight and I know how hard it is getting smooth handheld shots, especially when it's not a wide angle. Really great work. The Kodak neg stocks look gorgeous.

Wow what a cool video. Must be a lot more work to get a video together like this. You did a good job.

[@scottstrang1583]

What was used? I’d love to do high quality scans of super films that I shot when I was little. My camera work sucked but I had fun doing them. I also have some regular 8 footage.

[@McRuessel]

Nice vid! Did u use the Canon at 18 or 24 fps? :)

[@RyanNavazio]

Always 24 or 48…

[@AmonAndersson]

Great movie! Is this 18 or 24 fps?

[@RyanNavazio]

24 - thanks!

[@Timur1506]

Hi Ryan! have you used the 85 filter on 500t film when you used it in daylight conditions or you've corrected temperature in post?

[@RyanNavazio]

I always use the 85 filter.

[@abelvazquezpons]

Nice...

[@pauljames1978]

So relaxing i felasleep lol

[@_sondnb]

Hey Ryan, absolutely love this video! I've shot a lot of Super 8 but nothing as clean (grain wise) as this! I mainly shoot 200T. Do you remember what film you shot these two moments on 0.48 and 1.44?

[@RyanNavazio]

500 T for both of these. Both Log scanned and graded without adding any additional sharpness so the grain isn't enhanced. Also overexposing by 1.5 - 2 stops

[@_sondnb]

@@RyanNavazio thanks Ryan. Really appreciate the info! Guess I’ll need to give overexposing by 1.5 - 2 stops a go!

[@_sondnb]

One last question! Would you recommend shooting 500T over 200T in overcast conditions and just stopping down? Would that have a cleaner look?

[@RyanNavazio]

@@_sondnb I haven’t shot 200T myself so I can’t say for sure. Also, remember you’re watching this on KZbin which uses its own compression that reduces grain/noise. Your best bet is to shoot some tests and decide what works better for you.

[@_sondnb]

Thanks mate! I have shot a bunch of test rolls but yours looks so nice! Haha thanks for the advice.

[@motobulles]

Excellent , beau montage

[@Stozubw]

[@Adrelanine]

Wow!! Awesome shots, loved the video. Where did you get your film scanned? I'm loving the quality and the colors

[@RyanNavazio]

Thanks!! This was a 4k log/flat scan from pro8mm. Color grade was done by me in FCP.

[@Adrelanine]

@@RyanNavazio You did a really great color grade then!!

[@RyanNavazio]

@@Adrelanine thanks! I was part time wedding video colorist so I’ve had to work with a lot worse 😂😂

[@ThijsJVisser]

Hey Ryan, quick question. I just bought 2 stocks of kodak 500T (a bit impulsive). Most of the time I want to shoot outdoors, with daylight. Do you have some tips on how to get the right exposure and how not to get a weird looking white balance? I am afraid that because of the 500 ISO the film will be sensible to overexpose...

[@RyanNavazio]

You can use an 85B filter. This will knock the ISO down to 320. Most super 8 cameras have this filter built into it. I’ve shot 500T in daylight (with 85B filter) purposely overexposed it by 2 stops, still got good results.

[@kts2292]

Hello, Thank you for posting. I would like to know a bit more about somes pictures. Is it all in automatique ? At 0.09, is it the 50D ? Witch settings in the camera for this picture ? Same question for picture at 1.00 The pictures with rose tonality are 500T right ? Thank you

[@RyanNavazio]

All of the footage is manually exposed using the canon 814xls light meter. The shot at .09 is on 50D using the macro lens feature on the 814xls probably at f2.8-f4. Any of the lower light shots are 500T

[@nicolasisquithcarreno9692]

What program do you use to edit I recently got a scan back in 4K but Sony Vegas screws ups my FPS and I lose quality when I render with it

[@RyanNavazio]

I don't know anything about Vegas but I assume you're on PC. You could switch to Premiere...

[@santiagovidela9246]

Beautiful! Was this restored in order to remove scratches or was it just graded straight out of the scan?

[@RyanNavazio]

Thank you! It is graded straight out of the scan.

[@afndcasd1288]

[@cesarcastillo5094]

Amazing work man, just picked up a Nikon Super Zoom 8x and I can’t wait to use it! Would you recommend starting off with the 500t and keeping on the 85filter?

[@RyanNavazio]

I don’t think you have manual control over your exposure with that camera and I’m pretty sure it can’t read the asa value on the cartridge so getting a proper exposure with 500T might be tricky. Are you planning to shoot in low light ? If not I would go with the 50D or the 200T. That camera should be able to properly expose both those stocks. Just use the 85 filter on the 200t

[@cesarcastillo5094]

Wow I had no idea, thanks for that and mostly daytime but I did wanna mess around and test it in low light. I’ll play it safe and go with the 50D, I appreciate it

[@sarahrose9528]

Where was this developed and scanned?

[@erickyang7563]

what song was used in this video? Very nice work.

[@YoussefBerrouard]

Do you need to add the Tungsten filter (daylight) or you let it to artificial light (no filter) when you use this film during the night?

[@RyanNavazio]

Depends on the light source…

[@johnholt8929]

Who did your processing and scanning?

[@fabriziogiovanardi9066]

Amazing work dude! Can you pls explain me the use of the 85 filter and where can I get one? I suppose you shot this on canon 514xl (?)

[@RyanNavazio]

85 filters basically just convert tungsten balanced film to daylight. So if you shot 500T film outdoors in natural light with no filter, the color would be very blue and nothing like your eyes might see. If you're shooting daylight balanced film outdoors you would'nt need to worry about using the 85 filter. The filters are easy to find and should be faily cheap. Hope this helps.

[@fabriziogiovanardi9066]

@@RyanNavazio Thanks man! And why would you use an external one instead of using the internal switch?

[@RyanNavazio]

@@fabriziogiovanardi9066 according to the Internet the internal filters “deteriorate over time” I’ve never had this problem myself. If your camera has an internal one and the camera has been well cared for I would think it’s probably fine…

Sounds like the cartridge is jammed. You could try to manually break it free.

I’ve never actually seen this happen before I shot this…not really sure! I’ve ran plenty of film through the same camera since and not seen this happen…

[@YungTricky]

@@RyanNavazio I read that if you open the cartridge door mid way through filming it can cause light exposure maybe that caused it ?
