  • Transparent (clear) Super 8 Leader wanted!

    I'm looking for completely transparent (clear) Super 8 leader in as large quantity as possible for painting onto. Does anybody have any they would be willing to sell me?
    Best wishes, and many thanks in advance,
    Lydia

    Hi Lydia,

    I would contact these two people. They usually sell the leader you are looking for.

    Larry Urbanski (Urbanski Film) larryu@urbanskifilm.com

    or

    Steve Osborne (The reel Image) thereelimage_043@yahoo.com

    Hope they have what you need.

      I dont think I ever seen tranparent leader (cmiiw). They are always colored or just plain white.

      My 2 cents suggestion if you couldn't have one... i.e get fresh film and shot it to a (very) bright image such sun or halogen light, then you will get transparent film after the film is developed.

      it is costly but you will get from one cartrige 15m (50 ft) film running 3 minutes (shot at 18fps) or 2.5 minutes (on 24 fps).

      You can get this by using expired film which is cheaper. Get someone with a camera to do the job.


      good luck!

        I believe some people just put the unexposed film in a bath of "bleach" and remove the emulsion. I don't know what sort of bleach they use.
