Right now on eBay, I've got a bunch of small 16mm clips for sale, ranging from 2
to 30 seconds long, containing shots of Cincinnati, San Diego and New Orleans.
Shot in 2006. Shown about 3 times. Just do an eBay search on the phrase "16mm
San Diego" and it should turn right up!

Love or hate eBay, it's still a fun place to look around.

Used an indoor film to shoot in sunlight, causing a slight blue tint. I've
already shot a lot of this film and got it back, and was well aware of this
effect and shot accordingly. I was shooting with Kodak 7243, a discontinued
stock that apparently was never very popular. Got 2000 feet worth on eBay for 20
bucks...didn't realize how difficult it would be to get it processed! It's an
intermediate film, I think that means you're shooting a negative, and to watch
it on a projector you need to make a positve copy from it. Looked everywhere,
somebody on a yahoogroup list suggested Fotokem. Luckily, Fotokem was able to
processs the film, and at a pretty good price, too. So, it turns out my $20 eBay
film find was a home run. Anyone know how much 2000 feet of 7243 went for when
new? Hell, the CAN alone is worth $20. One skeptical listmember said nobody
would process the film and all that it was good for was ribbon to decorate my
apartment! First...I'm a GUY and
don't use much ribbon...secondly, come on over anytime and I'll run that
useless "ribbon" through my projector for you.

The blue tint really adds a fun dimension to the film, especially in the New
Orleans shots. If you are interested in the a copy of the complete SD/NO/CIN
film that the clips are taken from, let me know. The SD shots have lots of
surfing and a funky area called Ocean Beach. I was thinking of getting a
high-contrast b/w print made, or regular B/W, or maybe even a B/W 8mm copy if
that's possible!
