Welcome in the big boat Lee, I hope you stay here with the other S8 fans. I´m also a member of the 35mm Forum and 16mm Forum, but I feel more comfortable here.
I´m waiting for the screenshots from you (if you can do some) and from Flavio, he is since few days also one of the big boys here.

Just watched my two new Laurel & Hardy's, no pictures ... Half decent quality and it was nice to see Berth Marks with sound, was funnier :-) Any Old Port I hadn't seen at all, and it was also a funny little piece.

I was a fool, as I sold few years ago my beautiful 16mm original prints of Star Wars (fuji- scope), Empire (LPP-flat) and return of the Jedi (LPP-scope) because I started with 35mm and got Empire Strikes back in 35mm (very slightly faded). But it is nearly impossible to find the other two in 35mm. But I got few months ago the Super 8 derann print of Star Wars (IV) and watched this yesterday with my son together.
This is a realy great print and the quality is top.
Its strange, the kids today love more the other trilogy and my Son love specialy Episode 2 and the Clon Wars TV show. But he told me the stormtroops are also cool like the clon soldiers.

Beautiful shots Oemer! My first day release of STARWARS from Derannis just gorgeous. I look forward to the day when I can take some great screenshots of it with good bloody camera!

... hoever, I really enjoy my 400ft part in scope which has amazingly kept it's color, (most other prints have not been so fortunate), and my son loves it every timer we watch it. It's one of those titles that we have to be very careful not to watch too much!

Hello Oemer,

very nice screenshots!!! Did you really sold your 16mm copies of the trilogy?!? What's a pity!
I understand now why you told me: don't make the mistake to sell anything in 16mm and Super 8 because you are moving to 35mm... you are right!
Let me have some more time and I will post some screenshot of 35mm here, because now I'm facing up with the lamp hour counter, which doesn't want to work because of a reed I don't find the right position...

All the best
Flavio

Watched Herbert Yapp again as they built the Forum Cinema in Ealing. Quite a fascinating little bit of cinema history this super 8 film and we were lucky to see it make the print.

Birth of a Cinema
Derann about 120ft sound.

Laksmi Which cheeks? not watched my 200ft for a while, but her dresses were every school boys fantasy as was Col Deering and I was in my 20's at the time. WOW I did have the 2 400ft version too. It was one I enjoyed good fun.

Christian,
Safety Last brilliant film with Harold Lloyd. Used to be a TV series here (Crazy)? World Of Harold Lloyd on BBC2 I enjoyed them. Was it at 24fps or 18fps?

If all goes to plan its a super 8 Saturday for me. Keep promising the kids a BIG screen show. After your ealier post about your own film, I could show mine.

1 A.M. is a interesting film because except having the taxi driver briefly at the beginning Chaplin is the only actor through the rest of the film.

Laksmi, love those "Rogers" shot. I agree about the princess, and I was actually quite surprised that they left that footage of her expressive "dance" on the 70's TV which was quite frankly, really pushing the envelope. I mean, "Daisy Duke" (Dukes of Hazard) never displayed that much on TV.

Sorry to get off track. By the way, great shots from that STAR WARS print!

Tried my 'new' 16mm Elf projector last night. Only showed a 400ft of advertisements.

Mainly American TV ads a couple for 'OMO' a few for Ideal toys I would think dating from 60's to 70's, and one from Rank Films, where if you sent an idea to them and it got filmed they gave you £25. This had great colour, the others had faded or starting to fade.

Was going to get some screen shots, but not sure the best way. Do you just take a shot while the film is running?

Last night I watched my 400 digest of ROCKETSHIP nice contrast in black and white print. The costumes are great with the princess and Dale . Ming is a campy crack up.
