    i have shot a lot on my super 8, and the color reversal is actually like shooting slide film in a 35mm.

    color negative film returns a negative image, positive workprints would have to be made in order for you to see it in its correct color, to make film a telecine transfer would have to be done on it.
    (very expensive)

    i have experimented with cross process with 35mm and the rule of thumb is the film will render out of the chemistry that you process it in.
    IE. if you take any film negative/slide and process it in slide chemistry (E6) it will look like slide film. note the colors will be wacky for neg film but it will be a positive image. since the base of the film is the amber color.

    the same hold true with negative chemistry (C-41). this one is my personal fav, since the base of the slide film is totally clear. the colors get Real saturated especially if you slightly over expose the image.

    i worked in a photo lab and had all of this chemistry at my disposal for 5 years. hell yeh i had some experiments! ;)
