Lens Bolex
Advice on using a Bolex 16mm camera?
I am shooting a short silent film with people this summer for school, and I am trying to decide my best options to make a nice-looking film. I would like to shoot color, and I would also like to use my Canon FD lenses that I own. I know that there is an adapter so that you can use FD lenses on C mount cameras. I did a test with the lens that was given with the camera, and was not satisfied with the look. Should I go with a reflex or non-reflex H16? What type of film would be best for shooting indoors, natural light, during the day? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
If you are going to be using still lenses with c-mount adapters, you will need the reflex version, other wise you will have to make a framing device to assure that each take is accurate.
Remember that silent film was shot at 18 fps, not 24 fps.
