Hi! I’m Grady Johnson with Karma Train Productions and today we are discussing 16 mm films and
I’m representing Expert Village.com. Well, I really enjoyed that film; one of my favorites.
This is a historical film and it came with a pretty nice little case too. I enjoy these
historical pieces; those are my favorites. Now when you put this together, remember you
don’t want this leader flying all over the place. Now if you don’t have a tin to put
it in like this, use a piece of masking tape. It doesn’t leave a lot of sticky glue on
it, but it will hold it down and that way the leader isn’t going to run off on you.
Go ahead and put it in the tin if you do have it. Never pull the tin or throw the tin away.
Use the tin because the tin does protect it; it keeps it dark and it also will make sure
that no dust gets on the film either. With this one you’ll find is a plastic one. They
also come in tin. Now when you look on-line, you will find a lot of these empty cans are
available, and you might want to pick a few of those up for storing these. Now the thing
to remember when storing these, whichever size you are working with, if you have a tin,
use it and then put this in a cool dry place. You certainly do not ever want to store celluloid
in any place that’s too hot; it’ll burn it all up. Also if you leave something in
a place that has way too much light, you’ll start to see that pink effect and it’ll
destroy the film. So you want to keep it in a dark, cool area. You can store these up,
you can lay them out flat or you can stand them on end whichever works best for you.
Just be sure that you’re putting these in a cool, dry, dark cool place. If you remember
that, these films will last you a very, very longtime.
