    Old cans? With nothing in them?

    Adverts.ie or filmmakersnetwork.ie - but don't expect anyone to pay much for them.

    thanks, there is a market for these as they have age and
    are pretty rare.

    How old and rare? What differentiates them from other old film cans?

    I've got old cans sitting around my house that were used to send rushes from a Kubrick film to the lab. Nobody cares about them though.

    They really arent worth all that much, you see them selling on ebay for a couple of euro every now and again. If the can was used to transfort film for something big like and episode of 24 then it can sell for 8 or 9 dollars but not a whole lot more..

    No way!.

    I work in the industry and I have had a lot of cans in my hands, from Indy IV to The Tree of life passing through Broken Hugs or Biutiful.

    Firstly, when I was a camera intern, I was amazed by that and I collected them, nowadays.. it doesn't matter, they are just cans :D.

    But put them on ebay, maybe someone will make your day!!!.

    Cheers!.
