Can I get that Nykvist look on Super 16mm? Less Scenes from a Marriage, more Persona.

[John Pytlak RIP]

Super-16 is the preferred 16mm format for feature films, and for television (which is going to 16:9 aspect ratio). There is an extensive infrastructure of labs and transfer houses equipped to handle this format:

Here are Kodak's B&W camera films:

The new Kodak B&W reversal films are really nice, but negative film is more amenable to duplication, and more labs have a B&W (D-96) negative process.

Lighting is what YOU make of it. That's the art and skill of being a cinematographer, which I am not. ;)

I thought it a bit weird to put my name on the internet.

 

Then we have alot of weird people on this site. :P

 

Actually, IMHO, anonymous and pseudonym postings often have less credibility in a technical forum. Certainly protect your privacy (don't share your private e-mail address, home address, or home phone number), but a real name and company/school affiliation helps us get to know and trust each other, to better help each other out.

 

I will admit that SPAM has become much more of a problem for me, despite Kodak's firewall and SPAM filters. But I trace most of it to postings on the public usenet groups, rather than these private user groups.

I really enjoyed talking to you. Helping customers is what my group "EI Customer Technical Services" does at Kodak. We support customers and their local Kodak technical people around the world:
