I was just scanning a 35mm feature IP today, they are interesting as they have allot of the final look in there but still need to be timed shot to shot. And they have excellent range and resolution while still being a positive image.

Most scanners these days have pretty sophisticated RGB LED lamps which can be calibrated to any RGB balance making the filter unnecessary. Doing a good 4K scan which is un-clipped and then trying to work on the base to remove the transferred dye. I would suggest finding a section at the head or tail to experiment on. Start with alcohol and move up in solvent strength to see if anything works.

You’re saying FPP 40 is Plus-X or it’s UN 54?

Cool, thanks so much for your response. Yeah I was wondering if it was something like an interpositive considering PTA still works in a photochemical post workflow/film dailies.

Some of this could be Interpositives being scanned as they have much more detail and latitude. That said you can scan a print and they can look great especially 35mm prints, the look is just more baked in.

For all intents and purposes the 3C is the lovechild of a 2C and 35-III, it really all comes down to the accessories you will have with the camera in terms of ergonomics. Flatbase adaptors or the Crystal motor bases (CE / Tobin) might be unwieldy for handheld but much better at "studio" or tripod operation. The kind of door that is on the camera also makes a big difference and there are several for the 3C so without knowing what you have it really comes down to the specific package you're receiving. Handheld on a pistol motor isn't bad but you'll probably be sore at the end of the day depending on the viewing system on the 3C. The Jurgens door will let you nestle the camera closer to your body, the Arri articulating viewfinder door will probably feel odd to shoot handheld at eye level. The non articulating viewfinders will be best at eye level but your arms will be bearing most of the weight and low angle shots will be a pain. Be prepared to start and stop the camera yourself, contemporary FIZ systems cannot start / stop the older motor bases / 3C pistol motor unless they have rigged up some proprietary method. In the event you're having to pull your own focus you may want to tape the iris ring when set, you don't want to inadvertently grab the iris ring mid take.

Why not discard the idea that once we watch a film in a linear manner, we must do it that same way everytime? Rewatching a film with the concentration required for reading Shakespearean-era plays—let’s call this “Intentional Watching”. We can zone out on, say, Vertigo or Oppenheimer one time; but another time we might approach a film as if wrestling with a complex ever-growing and -evolving mathematical equation in which the theoretical answer is Revelation of Self. Sometimes going along with the ride is exhilarating. Sometimes a spectator can choose to see differently. Spectator as Pioneer. Wrestling with Art brings expansion of Vision which endures. An artwork is a Big Bang that activates the intentional spectator into an expanding multiverse of mind. * * * The Unthinking is the Unexercised, and therefore is not yet towards health. * Images are pools that immerse and drown, Words are springboards into infinite air.

Hi all, I'll be shooting on the Arri 3C for the first time next week. I've done a little bit of filming on an Arri SRT2 and some 8mm - but no 35mm - and would love to hear some tips and tricks from other DPs who've worked with this camera, as there seems to be fairly little info available online. We'll be shooting mostly indoors (stock has already been chosen by the DP, I am working as the 2nd unit DP). From the sounds of it, it's a fairly clunky camera to use handheld - which is what I think we will be using it for mostly (shooting children). I have an experienced 1st AC, so, I am more interested in operating, or exposure quirks. Thanks!

Hi, I have a question regarding a specific look that I’ve never quite been able to pin down. I’ve surmised it to be a result of scanning a printed positive. The look I’m referring to can be seen in the bonus materials of both The Master (2012) and Inherent Vice (2014). It’s mostly noticeable in night interiors, dense, crunchy blacks, and ghostly, halated highlights. The other films that I’ve noticed this quality in have been older, and it would make sense if a negative was not available for restoration, and instead a print was scanned. A DP buddy of mine had told me in the past that you can’t really scan a print because “there’s no information,” but I’m wondering if that’s what’s contributing to the quality of this look I’m referring to. I recently read an interview with DP Marcell Rev where he states that they tried scanning positive prints as a test for the Euphoria season 2 look. Wondering if I can get some input here on what I think I’m seeing. Has anyone scanned a print before, and does it have a specific quality? Providing some links for reference: (Doris sitting on stairs) (house party stuff at 1:00) https://www.lecinemaclub.com/now-showing/entretanto/ (house party stuff) Best,

'Colonial Clothing 1760-1770' (1976) clip Colonial Williamsburg D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Very interesting clip of a servant getting the lady of the house going in the morning in Colonial America. I never knew what a stomacher was. The lady had cold hands and couldn't tie her stockings up. The slave / servant had to help her. Well, no heat until the servant started a fire and it took time to heat up a room. Fireplaces didn't run all night. And even with the fireplace, heat pockets were spotty. The beds would have bed curtains on them to keep the body heat within the enclosure at night. They would wear night caps to keep their head warm. <><><><> Daniel D.

hi, I'm doing some experiments with multiple exposure on single8 films and I would like to try out developing the films myself on a morse tank. I've been searching info on those at it seems that cross processing them on E6 could work out, but how about C41 or ECN2? For simplicity I am thinking of using cinestill powder kit, does anyone have experience with those on fuji single8 stocks? I've seen somewhere mentioned that the remjet on single8 films would be more difficult to work out than what's on ecn2 stocks, is that true and how should one deal with it?

Apocalypse now. Monolithic doorway. Smoky 1979 Storaro doorway. Ladder of books. Mirror by the pure-white bed. Fairy-tale princess in bare feet, radiating light. Is he too late? Kandinsky—a complexity of vectors and transitions and scales. German expressionist eye. (Warm yellow light, cool grey : the naked woman very strongly recalling to Scrooby EWS—cannot be helped). A man seeing himself. We seeing him, and all else. A memory. A memory of the pastoral. Of the princess offering passage through a doorway, a special doorway, the smoky 1979 Storaro doorway. The princess as Muse. If the Muse dies? —If society lets the Muse die?

Everybody pays, even for things they didn’t do. Stephen King, Thinner * * * Problem Child (1990), or, Satansbraten Eulalia. Lord, what folly is in youth! How unhappy be children now-a-days! The character of Junior in Problem Child is an exemplary expression of the Anti. Junior is more than anti-social, -convention, -animal, -family, -religion, -God, -authority, -English language, -ethics, -people, -buildings, -food— The kid is anti-life. But what if the problem child was sent down to earth by a benevolent God to show us the truth of ourselves? The function of the problem child is to reveal the BS of everything. Junior is the living spirit of Heideggerian Destruktion. Through his agency might come our Utopia. We the audience see ourselves in the characters of the narrative, any narrative, and thereby strive to become better persons. tl;dr—The problem child has been sent by God to save us. * Problem Child, ca. 1549–53 An early anonymous English play entitled A Pretty Interlude called Nice Wanton shows us possibly the first “wild child” in English Literature. * Have a nice day. OED—nice (1300) : Of a person: foolish, silly, simple; ignorant. * Brother and sister Ismael and Dalilah are dissolute teenagers running wild. Their many offences include disobedience; swearing; gambling; thievery; mockery; fighting with neighbours’ kids; sleeping around; skipping school; idleness; lying; singing obscene songs. Ismael and Dalilah are wholly obnoxious and ungovernable— —which is why they are accompanied onstage by the personification of Iniquity, to whom Ismael loses all of his money in a game of dice. Ismael. The knaves have all the money, good fellows have none! Depravity inspires him to atrocious deeds : Ismael. ’Tis no matter, I will have money, or I will sweat; By God’s blood, I will rob the next I meet— Yea, and it be my father! Nothing’s sacred to Ismael. He routinely steals money from his father’s wallet; and in his sister’s presence he describes her as “whore” ten times. Indeed, the play’s dialogue is peppered with sexual-speak, such as these song lyrics, which are well-nigh pornographic— Iniquity. Gold locks She must have knocks, Or else I do her wrong. OED—knocks (1377) : a hard stroke or thump. Dalilah. Then, by the rood, A bone in your hood I shall put, ere it be long. Dalilah sports with Iniquity carelessly, exuberantly, without knowing a jot of his falsity; but we come to know it : Iniquity. (to audience) Do ye hear this jade? OED—jade (1386) : A contemptuous name for a horse of inferior breed; later (1560), hussy. * An early Henry James Positive-Negative Statement Dalilah. O good brother, let us go; I will never go more to school. Shall I never know What ‘pastime’ meaneth? Yes, I will not be such a fool. * After an intermission, the outcome of Dalilah’s wild life is revealed : [ Dalilah cometh in ragged, her face hid, or disfigured, halting on a staff ] Dalilah. Alas, wretched wretch that I am! Most miserable caitiff that ever was born! Full of pain and sorrow, crookéd and lorn [ lost ] : Stuff’d with diseases, in this world forlorn! Of course, she blames her parents : My parents did tiddle [ spoil ] me; they were to blame; Instead of correction, in ill did me maintain. * Earlier in the play Xantippe their mother was warned by a neighbour that her two outrageous children are terrorizing the neighbourhood and require “sober correction” : Eulalia. They swear, curse, and scold, as they go by the way, Giving others ill example to do the same, To God’s displeasure, and their hurt another day. Chastise them for it, or else ye are to blame! Unfortunately the loving mother laughed off her neighbour, though confirmatory evidence was mounting : Xantippe. Liar! [ to herself ] My children or I be cursed, I think; They be complained on wherever they go. * A Pretty Interlude called Nice Wanton, a thoughtful and well-structured entertainment, communicates stern warnings to the audience. * The play features one of the earliest courtroom scenes in English Literature. The courtroom—Surprise!—is not without a whiff of corruption. Bailiff. [ in judge’s ear ] If your lordship would be so good to me As for my sake to set him free, I could have twenty pound in a purse, Yea, and your lordship a right fair horse, Well worth ten pound— Since, however, Nice Wanton is well-intentioned fiction, the judge is exceeding honest, and chastises the bailiff. * Ismael, alas, is sentenced to death for “felony, burglary, and murder” : Judge. To the place of execution then thou shalt go, There to be hanged to death; and after, again, Being dead, for ensample to be hanged in a chain. Take him away, and see it done. Delilah, meanwhile, has already died an untimely death, from a sexual disease called the “pox” that she caught in “the stews” (the brothels). * Born into a prosperous home, the two kids stupidly squandered their good fortune, and lost everything. The mother is left to weep her many tears. Xantippe. Alas, alas, and well-away! I may curse the time that I was born! Never woman had such fortune, I dare say; Alas, two of my children be forlorn. . . . Why should God punish and plague me so sore? To see my children die so shamefully! I will never eat bread in this world more! With this knife will I slay myself by and by. Then her surviving child Barnabas saves her with a speech imploring faith in God; and he reminds his mother of her earthly responsibilities : Barnabas. All worldly cares let pass and fall. And thus comfort my father I pray you heartily. * And so, at the last, in the Epilogue to the play, Barnabas, who wisely followed the straight and narrow to a successful life, offers the audience some positive advice : Barnabas. Right gentle audience, by this interlude ye may see How dangerous it is for the frailty of youth, Without good governance, to live at liberty; . . . Therefore exhort I all parents to be diligent In bringing up their children aye to be circumspect, Lest they fall to evil. . . . O ye children, let your time be well-spent, Apply your learning, and your elders obey; It will be your profit for another day. * * * Revaluation The English stage experience began with narratives founded in morality, ethics, and personal responsibility. Nice Wanton is a theatrical entertainment with responsible messages for adults. First-rate narrative art of the present day preserves the superior essence of the origins of English theatrical storytelling. * As long as youth remains youth, A Pretty Interlude called Nice Wanton will be relevant and relatable—a work from the past, yet always in our future. Art is always ahead of us, and our efforts to catch up make us better people.

Thank you for the infos Tyler !

Maybe they mistook ORWO UN 54 for Kodak Plus-X reversal what FPP 40 actually is. UN 54 is an ISO 100 negative film. The reversing process increases effective speed by about 100 percent.

I recently got results back of shooting a roll of Film Photography Project's 16mm FPP40 40 ASA black and white reversal double perf amateur film on a vintage Bell & Howell 70DR Has anyone else used this 16mm film? I had it processed by a lab in Southern California. I shot my roll as a test roll on a well used vintage Bell & Howell 70DR camera. I exposed based on the shutter speed spec of the 70DR camera at 24 FPS. Results were 2 to 3 stops all overexposed. Was it: 1. Camera shutter speed off for 24FPS? 2. Actual sensitivity of the FPP40 bw reversal film? 3. How the lab developed the film? I did a range of exposure tests, but not the full aperture range, that I would do next time with an old vintage camera of unknown condition. On the film, Film Photography Project would not tell what film this is as they said it was proprietary, understood (ORWO?) Next time will stick with Kodak films I've shot that I know what they do.

"I'm after something on that order, something that can replace a rideable dolly in at least some circumstances." Phill have you looked at the Dutti Dolly? I've made pipe dollies with ladder truss brackets.

Sounds like you have many issues. I use Rainbow II monitors mostly, they work fine, no problems. The grain you're seeing is the gain of the VHR turned up too high. Unless your shooting in pitch black, the gain will not need to be that high. There is an iris adjustment on the tap, which should increase or decrease your exposure. If you turn that knob and it does nothing, then there is something wrong with the camera. It should be crystal clear without grain, even when stopped down. The images you posted before as examples of newer monitors running, are probably cameras with HD taps. There are a few HD tap options for Aatons, but AZ-Spectrum, makes a really good one. You need to call them to get in line, but if you get the flicker free HD tap for Xtera, you'll be quite happy with it. I have serviced a few cameras with them and they're a marketable improvement over the standard HD taps and of course SD taps. If you don't want to upgrade the tap, you can buy a Blackmagic composite to SDI converter. They are not horribly expensive, you can buy them used on eBay, but it's something else you need to have hanging off your camera and on the Xtera especially, there isn't a place to put it. Some people buy monitor cages and stick the converters to the back, but no matter what you do, it's a pain in the butt to deal with. Most people just give up and upgrade to HD. I don't have any HD monitors, so for me, the composite system works fine. It's just for framing anyway. Even on the HD taps, it'll be hard to get critical focus when stopped down.
