I recently bought a good old fashioned Polaroid Sun 600 Instant Camera from a thrift store, and I was wondering what type of film it will take?
Also, if anyone knows where I can get the film for a decent price, that would be a great help.
Thanks ahead of time.|||http://polaroid600film.com/|||It takes polaroid 600 film
Polaroid stopped making these films in 2006 or so. What's left of the original polaroid production is fetching ever increasing prices. $40 per pack (10 photographs) is not at all unusual, I've seen them go for $160 for a triple pack (30 exposures). All polaroid stock is now expired which means that colors may not be what you'd expect and pretty soon we'll see battery problems as well (with the 600 series the battery is in the film pack)
Places to look for old film, ebay and amazon.
Now in the Netherlands a group of ex employees have bought an old polaroid factory and are making film again. It's not perfect yet since they need to do some reverse engineering but they are making progress. Their webshop is here: http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/s鈥?/a>
Yes, being trendy/retro/fashionable comes at a price.|||It used to use Polaroid 600 film.
Polaroid stopped making that film in 2008, so any of it you find will be expired and the battery it needs to operate will be dead or nearly dead.
Impossible Project company makes film called PX 600 that your camera can use. Here is a link to that website

What takes cigarette film off of laminate flooring?
We have click-lock laminate flooring in our house and it seems to have a light film on it. I imagine the film comes from the fact that we smoke. Any good cleaners that won't damage the flooring?|||Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...and any film will scrub right up, with our without cleanser. Just use water|||They are the best invention since sliced bread. The day it took permanent Sharpie pen off my wood table, I was convinced.
|||Move and dont smoke in the new house. Im just kidding I dont know how.|||You may want to try a mixture of 1 gallon of hot water and 1 cup of vinegar to effectively clean this film off. Spot test an inconspicous spot (a corner or a piece that sits under something) to make sure that it does not damage it (or "eat" the laminate off).
After cleaning the film off, go over the floor again with regular floor cleaner to clean the vinegar off.

How would you film a polar bear in the snow with a motion picture camera?
My professor asked our class a supposedly famous question: Using basic equipment, how would you film a polar bear in the snow? He said this is a classic film class question. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!|||With a very long lens.|||Look for the black eyes, lips, and claws? O_o
Or use fake snow with just the slightest tint of blue dye in it.

What is the difference between a quebecois film and an american film?
I am doing a "film review" on the movie titles, "5150 rue des ormes" (which i recommend everyone watching if you enjoy horror flicks) but we have to describe the difference between movies in Quebec and those in America. Could you help me if you know the difference between a Quebecois film and an American film? MERCI!|||A Quebec film is made with money from a production company that is in Quebec or is funded by the province. It is a Canadian film not an American film. It may be in french only because many people in Quebec speak French (then again many speak english too). Honestly I have no idea why you are supposed to describe difference in films from different places using on one film example. That makes no sense. Films are different because of the experiences of the writers, directors etc it has nothing to do with where they got the money from. I would write about how judging difference in film based on just 1 example and not taking into consideration director or writer is crap.
I am not insulting you, I am insulting your assignment. You can't talk about where a writer or director is coming from using just one film, you'd have to know their whole history, which may or may not be completely related to where they live now. One Quebec film is not reflective of the whole. I am sure this film is nothing like Bon Cop, Bad Cop which is also from Quebec. Don't know what else to tell you.

How do I film a scene in a taxi using two actors?
I am an independant flim maker (aspiring). I have the use of a green screen studio as well as the outdoors. How would you recommend filming a scene in a taxi? Is there a site with insertable green screen sets (backgrounds) or is it better to film in the car. Someone please give me some tips!|||film the two actors on the ground just waking up from being hit on the head looking around for the taxi, but there is no taxi around they just got robbed.|||I think the mics are in the car, and the cameras are usually suspended outside the vehicle. Its a great question though.|||GEZZZZZZZZzzzzzz Why make it so hard ???
1) go to U-Haul and rent a car dolly.
(the type of device that toe's a car from the front wheels only.)
2) get a car to haul the dolly and drag the film car around.
3) shoot the bit twice. once from the drivers side. once from the passengers side. OR from what ever side you like..
DON'T FOR GET TO MAKE THE BACKGROUNDS THE SAME !!
(drag the film car across the same road)|||Film makers usually rig a vehicle on a flat truck to simulate the motion as the action is taking place. The car is rigged with a framework to fix the cameras in place outside of the front windows, and all glass is removed. The lights are added in a way to illuminate the inside of the car, and leave no camera shadows, or light reflections.
This is for visible camera layouts. For concealed layouts, you can rig a camera called a lipstick camera to the visors on the inside of the car. This is how 'Taxicab Confessions is filmed. B.

What type of film, besides emulsion sheets or emulsion liquid can you use for screen printing?
I want to know what type of light sensitive film sheets you can use for screen printing besides emulsion. I also would like to know where you can buy it. I would prefer to buy the film in a store not online. Please help.|||i can't say that i've ever used anything but liquid emulsion or various types of stenciling. is there a reason you need an alternative?
EDIT: have you looked into speedball? they're very inexpensive.|||NO ONE CARES!!! ~ JOY LOL

Which film is safe to bring through the airport?
Hi, I'm leaving for a research trip in 2 weeks. My research is both anthropological and photographical. I am planning on bringing about 15 rolls of film with me. My fear is whether or not the unexposed film will be damaged by airport security tools.
The problem with buying film there is that I will be going to a pretty rural area in a 3rd world country and I'm pretty positive that I won't be able to find a camera shop where I can buy film down there.
What's best?|||Buy a film protector bag and put all your film in it. Carry it on-board with your cameras and notebook computer. Never let them out of your sight. If necessary, let the security hand check the film and leave the film in its packaging.
Do NOT check your film EVER. This is where the most intense X-ray is applied to your baggage.
While it is important to protect your film from X-ray, all the time, it is most sensitive to fogging once it is exposed.

I use transparency film with speeds from 50 to 400 ISO, negative film from 100 to 800 ISO and black and white film from 25 to 3200 ISO. The choice of film is determined by the assignment from the client and of course the film type and ISO is different on every flight.|||Here is what Kodak say.

Pre 9/11 it was perfectly safe to hand carry film through and let it go through the scanners in most of the major countries airports. Unless you were going to be going through a number of times.
Since then though even hand baggage is (sometimes) subject to stronger scans.
Putting the cans in the protective bags will not always work as they often just turn the intensity up on the scanners.
Best bet is to politely ask that they hand check the film, put them in a clear plastic bag prior to arriving and be cooperative.|||Usually low ISO/ASA film is no problem.
