16mm is hep

[iL_WeReo]

That was a great way to shoot film at the time I was shooting film.
You know the formula:

16mm - Super 8 = More than 8

I awlways got the creeps looking at 16mm cameras. Even to this very
day. There's something about them that creeps me out. They look
impossible to use. I think in my era mostly the big networks shot in
16mm. I certainly didn't have access to one and I'm mot sure I would
know how to use one.

Does anyone here have any 16mm movies? If you do tell me what it's
like to shoot in 16mm. I've been told they were "twice as expensive"
as Super 8. Maybe twice as hard to use too. Those projectors are
pretty cumbersome. I think a lot of 16mm is, or was sound-ready too.

I didn't know a thing about filmmaking, really. I just happen to shoot
some of the most spectacular people who ever lived and some very
unique corners of Americana that AIN'T coming back. That's about it.
That's why I feel you've got to be "pretty good" to go toe-to-toe with
the Lifshine. I'm looking at some other footage on the Company's
website and I must say some of it is pretty good. But I don't konw how
good it is compared to my films. 68 clips about to go...it's gonna
flood the website lol.

I honestly don't know what customers do with stock footage. Does
anyone know?
