This is a bit off topic for optical soundtracks. 

For decades I have been using a Kodak stock that was produced for making 
optical tracks. Most of my “City Symphony” series was filmed using this stock, 
7378. Kodak discontinued this acetate stock a couple of decades ago. I bought 
as much of this particular material before Kodak stopped making it. They now 
make an estar based stock for making tracks. This estar based is not 
recommended for using in a Bolex since it could jam and damage the camera.

Kodak advised me not to use 7378 for filming. However the cost of .05 per foot 
was tempting. 7378 was tricky to use as a camera stock because of an estimated 
asa of 10-12. The result however is beautiful high contrast image. My films, 
“Continuum”, “Deconstruction Sight”, “Premonition”, “In the Course of Human 
Events”, “The Soul of Things”, “Revelations” were all created using this 
beautiful stock. I continue to film with 7378 with the few remaining rolls that 
I have left. “Revelations” can be seen on Vimeo (just search for Dominic 
Angerame to view this and other films)  My other films are available on a Blu 
Ray collection of my work produced by Re-Voir. Filming with 7378 as a camera 
stock.

Anyone out there that has rolls of 7378 I am interested in purchasing more of 
this material. Please contact me off site at [email protected]
