Figuring out my Bolex and identifying issue
Hey all,
I'm a full time filmer, but recently delving into the film world which is exciting! I recently shot a roll and the results came back pretty mediocre compared to a roll I had previously shot on a friends Bolex. Every time I start shooting, the image warps twice. Along side that, it seems that the film moves out of place half way through the roll, rending the rest unusable. Seems I also missed focus a bit, which I thought I was nailing during filming, and didn't miss focus once on the other roll I'd shot previously, so that was strange.
Hoping to identify the cause of this ahead of my next roll, so I'm not wasting money needlessly. I've attached a video that shows a dummy roll loaded and running to see if anything looks out of the ordinary (although it seems to start shredding near the end, maybe due to it being reused many times?), and also the roll of film that was shot. The roll messes up two thirds of the way through.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks.
