Graham, I believe all films will fade eventually. Only the matter how fast it goes. I have films on AGFA (Derann print to be noted) that is now fade. Dont have experience with LPP yet just considering the company itself call it LOW fade not NO Fade stock [Smile]

Cheers

HEY! Happy update!

I just purchased a "Flip" brand Ultra HD video camera, (boy! that thing is tiny!), and I will ateempt in the next day or two to shoot a video of the "Hoth Battle" sequence. That ought to do!

Now, I don't know how to do a link for the video to an auction. Alan ... can you provide some help, as you have obviously had experience with this kind of thing?

Hi Osi, I have done this before. Its a great way to show off your print on ebay. I would be happy to show you how to do it. Not very hard.

Well, I'm a little annoyed ...

I shot about 45 seconds from the "Hoth Attack" sequence, and it's obviously that this "Flip" phone isn't designed to photograph a super 8 film in the dark. The image is plenty bright and in focus, but the color is really lacking in the video footage and of course, you can't adjust "color drive" on a super 8 print. The print has gorgeous blues, facial tones, ect. This print on the video looks terribly faded, with almost no rich blues and other colors, so I'm really debating whether I should put the video up! The last thing I want to do is actually mis-represent the print!

I have a digital camera, but it doesn't have a function to adjust the color settings to allow for night time shooting from a projected image. (well, at least I haven't figured them out if they exist). I'll have a second look at it. It's a "Kodak Vision" moel camera.

I don't really have any trouble with screen shots...even with my crappy cell phone. Most of the time my issues are with sharpness due to the moving images.

sharpness "taint" the problem, it's the color representation, as any print loses a lot of it's value for resale when it has color loss, so you see my probelm with, for instance, the video I shot with my new camera, which makes the print look terribly faded.

Do we have some way of sharing video on this forum, or would I have to load it up on you tube and then make a link?

Well, I meant the pictures I take (with no adjustments) represent the color of the print, they are sometimes fuzzy thats all.

Why not stick a couple shots up here first and I'm sure there will be some who can advise you whether or not they're OK.
