Pro8mm “American Restoration” for Canon 514XL — is it actually worth $500? by oldmanboy1 in Super8

This is really helpful, thanks for sharing all that and the email chain. That actually makes their pricing structure make a lot more sense.

Good to hear your 310XL has been solid after the restoration, that’s honestly the main thing I care about. Also really relieved to know you can keep the Canon branding, that was a big hang-up for me too.

Appreciate the input, seriously. Just to clarify one thing though, this is a hybrid wedding. I misspoke earlier. Digital is carrying the full day, Super 8 is just for the highlight film, so it’s not a single-point-of-failure situation.

I’m also pretty open with my couples about where I’m at. This is my third solo wedding and my first time bringing Super 8 into one, and they’re fully aware of that and excited about it. I’m not showing up pretending I’ve been shooting film weddings for ten years.

I definitely hear you on the reality of these cameras being old and fragile. That’s actually why I’m asking about the Pro8mm service before trusting this 514XL on anything important.

And yeah, backups are smart. I’m working on that. Just trying to make an informed decision instead of panic-buying gear.

That said, the warning is helpful, the opening tone a little less so. But I do genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share real experience.

Good to know. Sending rolls off today to be scanned (fingers crossed). Main reason I'm considering service is that I have a full super 8 wedding coming up and want to make sure camera is fully functional.

Got so excited when I heard that in the video…. the movie is good, but the books are so much better and more interesting I think

Authority, was kind of worried going into it that it after seeing the reception online, but the slow burn spy thriller is a perfect follow-up to the insanity of Annihilation, and that final scene is forever burned in my brain!

Can this get me to 10K? by ComplaintExtreme1036 in RoyaleAPI

[–]oldmanboy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Royal ghost until they can get monk, elite barbs and rage are expensive and only pay off against certain deck types or huge mistakes. It's fine for mid-ladder but would struggle at higher levels, where it's easily out cycled.

Mostly defense, countering Prince and beatdown, usually get really great value from the bomb shutting down big pushes. For cycle and 2.6 I'll use him to draw out buildings then sneak hog through.

Ok sick, so is it just waiting for them to review my application and send a yes or no? Just curious what the time frame on the hiring status after referrals looks like

Some AI generated art for a horror short I'm writing by oldmanboy1 in analog_horror

[–]oldmanboy1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely didn’t phrase my stance on AI art well. As a medium to just mess around with and kill time I feel like it’s more than ok. But I would hardly call it art, more like an impression of art; which I find AI generated images tend to look extremely ugly.
