From the company who invented and brought to market for the last 15 years reformatted 35mm professional film stocks loaded into 50 foot Super8 cartridges, Pro8mm of Burbank, California has added four new stocks to its ever expanding line.

Two Fuji Negative stocks have been added to the line of custom loaded reformatted film.

ETERNA HAS A TURN � Pro8/73 (500T) is made from ETERNA Fuji Negative Film Technology. This amazing film stock released by Fuji in February of 2005 is setting a new standard for high-speed color negative film. Three technological advances developed by Fuji that that have been previously unavailable in motion picture color technology contribute to advancing the superb image quality. These include. Super Nano-structured Grain Technology which achieves high sensitivity by controlling the microstructure of silver-halide grain down to the nanoscale; Super-Efficient DIR-Coupler Technology which ensures dramatically improved sharpness and color reproducibility by producing a greater interlayer effect; Super-Efficient Coupler Technology which enhances sharpness by improving the color formation efficiency of couplers, thereby reducing the thickness of the photosensitive layer is an excellent choice for capturing natural skin tones and subtle detail. As a brand new release, Pro8mm is thrilled to give their customers the chance to be among the first to try this cutting edge film.

REALA IS REALLY AWESOME - Pro8/92 (500D) is made from Reala Fuji 8692 Negative Technology. It is the only 500D film made with a special 4-part structure, incorporating Fuji film 4th Color layer emulsion technology. This color sensitive layer ensures that colors will be reproduced faithfully; skin tones will be smooth and natural under a wide variety of filming conditions. Interior shots where natural light is coming in the windows or under florescent light eliminates the common greenish cast. This allows for filming under mixed lighting conditions, and is an excellent choice when shooting under HMI lighting. It renders gorgeous images when shooting slow motion and underwater shots.

VISION 2 SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY-Pro8/05 (250D) is the first daylight balanced addition to our line of film stocks based on Vision2 technology, joining Pro8/12 (100T), Pro8/17 (200T) and Pro8/18 (500T)

PRO8 HI-CON, (ASA10) the last new super 8mm alternative, is a high contrast black and white stock cut from Eastman Positive Film II 5363. Pro8 HI-CON/BW63 is a low speed black and white positive film, which can be projected as well as transferred. It produces an exceptionally unique high impact look with fast shadow fall off and extremely low latitude. Popular for shooting titles, it has amazing sharpness and exceptional resolution.

The Super 8 format is the perfect way to experiment with the new aesthetic palate offered by major film stock manufacturers. The super 8 versions of these incredible products, reformatted by Pro8mm, are easy to use standard 50-foot cartridges. Whether you are searching for a new look, or want to sample the new film before your next major shoot or pitch, a Pro8mm package can give you maximum results for a minimal cost. Stock and processing can be purchased for $35.00 a roll, or Sample Packages starting at 4 rolls of film, processing and digital mastering to mini DV are available for $298.00. Examples of film shot with the new stocks are available on our new 2005 DVD Demo. For a free copy, e-mail [email protected], or call 818-848-5522.
