Lomography

[Ben Jaming]

Does anyone out there love lomography cameras? I have the Holga and its uber-sick.

I kind of like that look. Never got into that myself, although in the same low tech vein, I used to mess around with pinhole cameras.

I have a Holga camera, but I am having a hard time finding a place that processes the film.

Do you think you can get the lomo effect on film footage?

@Apollow89
Why not process it yourself...if it's black and white. Color is doable in the home darkroom, but it is quite expensive.

@ Ben Jaming
I think you could. Vignetting, maybe some weird focus effects and other distortion. I know Gimp has plug ins for that effect, so if a still image editing program can do it, why not a video editor?

I love lomo! My sister has a Holga. She loves it, brings it with her everywhere. I've tried to get the lomo look in video, but haven't been very successful. I did find an inspiring video on youtube that someone else did using a Letus adapter. http://youtube.com/watch?v=n1QUpvUwm5M

Hmmm...I wonder if one couldn't build an adaptor that used the lens out of a Holga? Use something like waxed paper for the focussing screen... Holga is for 120 film, so the focal length might be a bit long, but on the other hand, you'd definitely get the shallow DOF.
