Matt Irwin Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Just curious how 8653 is on standard 16 with regards to grain and contrast-- Never used Fuji stocks before and I'm thinking of trying it on a project coming up. Tape finish on Pro50 or digibeta, going for a 50% desat/hi-con look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just doing my DI on a short that we shot with the 8653 on super 16. I was very pleased with the results. I imagine that if you had a great camera with an even better lens and the transfer was top notch, you would get stellar results. Here is an example of what we shot, it is a one light for edited, but I have seen some of my footage onlined and it was incredible. www.chrisburke.net then click on the link labled "Gates clips 2".

I have done a project the summer using eterna 250 t s 16 and the film was very good. In interiors ihad used 4 dedos and an arri soft the contras was very good and the colors were perfect. I a scene using fluoresent lights warm white was desaturated alot. Not grain at all. Even after the blow up to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Irwin Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sounds good, thanks guys. How would you compare it to 7217? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sharf Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 ya im also curious to how you think this would compare to 7217. Im trying to decide which stock to go with, so some more info would be great! thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Chris, I went to your website but I couldn't find any link labelled "Gates clips 2". I did click on 'Gates' though that led to a series of production stills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Williamson Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Last summer I shot a Super 16 feature where we used Fuji stocks, I opted for the Eterna 500T (about 90% of the film) and the F-64D. The reason I used 500T was that according to the spec sheets, it has the same RMS granularity as both 250 speed stocks, so I figured there wasn't much point to carrying more stocks if there wasn't a grain advantage. I also rated the stock at 320 which probably helped. I did not shoot tests comparing the 250 stocks, so who knows, but I was very happy with the look of the Eterna 500T for whatever that's worth. It matched very well with the day exteriors on 64D, no big differences in grain that I noticed, in SD dailies telecine anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Irwin Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Rick, I just shot another short project on 8653 Super16 using older Zeiss MK1 primes, TK'd on a Spirit 2k. The results were better than I had hoped for. I haven't shot 7217 on a project but I have tested it, and I'd say that 53 is a bit less grainy and contrast is very close. It stands up surprisingly well to high contrast lighting (I was around 5:1 or 6:1). Very smooth stock. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted May 29, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 29, 2007 The reason I used 500T was that according to the spec sheets, it has the same RMS granularity as both 250 speed stocks Eterna 500T has the granularity of the old 250 stocks ('52 & '62), not the new Eterna 250 stocks ('53 & '63).

Mike Williamson Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Eterna 500T has the granularity of the old 250 stocks ('52 & '62), not the new Eterna 250 stocks ('53 & '63). Not according to the Fuji spec sheets, which list '53, '63 and '73 as ALL having an RMS granularity of 3.5. As I said, I haven't tested them myself and it might be that this doesn't really reflect what you see on the screen, but that's what they state in the brochures that I've got.

Patrick Cooper Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Nice work Chris. The footage is very natural looking and I liked soft light. Nice and sharp too. Ive just got a 16mm work print back made from a roll of Fuji Eterna 250D negative I exposed a little while ago. Viewing several frames with a loupe, the images looked fairly clean and fine grained to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
