Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted April 7, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 7, 2007 Has anyone shot any tests with the new Vivid 160? No, although Fuji has offered to give me a test roll. You should contact them if you can't wait for their LA presentation at the end of April I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kukla Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm going to be dropping in on the London office next week and will try to score some. Will keep you informed if that goes through quickly enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Would I be eligible for a roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Mulder Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Would I be eligible for a roll? Ring them up and ask for some - tell them the truth, that you are young, eager, motivated, talented and blather on about all and sundry online so it would be good marketing ;) I reckon you have a chance - however, are you shooting 35mm yet ? do they have 16mm ? let alone super8...

Chris Burke Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Would I be eligible for a roll? I spoke with a Fuji rep here in the states last week and she said that it is already available and they have been selling it. They are doing a presentation at Raleigh Studios in LA on April 26. Both 16 and 35 are available. I can't wait to see it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a go. And have the stock cut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Mulder Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I'll give it a go. And have the stock cut down. where do you get it cut down ? I'd love to be able to do that with some of the stills stock available, super8 Infrared time-lapse etc... and I"m up in the UK about once a year - processing would be an issue tho unless its B+W (here in NZ at least) - can they cut to 16mm ?

Matthew Buick Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Where would I get it cut down? No idea. I'll worry about that later, I've got to secure the goods first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Buick Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Is it just me seeing a possible candidate as a Super 8 stock that Auto-Only cameras can use? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Charles MacDonald Posted April 15, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 15, 2007 Is it just me seeing a possible candidate as a Super 8 stock that Auto-Only cameras can use? :) 160 is one of the two valid ASA settings for 1972-80 super 8 cameras. of course since Fuji is not currently making any "super 8" film (they apperently still make unexconmicaly small quanites of "Single 8" as a mater of pride...) it is HIGHLY unlikly they thay would try to do that. Anyone who si doing Super 8 Professionaly would not bother with thinking of using a consumer camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kukla Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I just shot my Vivid tests this past week. Hopefully will be able to watch footage early next week (too busy shooting for now). Have some other news about the stock, though. Turns out that Dick Pope is using it for a sizeable chunk of the latest Mike Leigh film, which has just started production. So keep an eye out for that.

Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted April 19, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2007 I haven't used the stock yet, though I am doing some stock tests next week and am thinking about adding it to the list of stocks.

Premium Member Luke Prendergast Posted April 20, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 20, 2007 We don't get it until June in Australia, except a very limited amount of test rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Can I make a polite request that this thread be continued on the Film Stocks and Processing forum ? So much stuff going on I'm afraid I'll forget to look here in Lighting for followups (which I'm anxious to hear about) Thanks ! -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Has anyone shot any tests with the new Vivid 160? I really look forward to trying this stock out! btw, it's very cool that Paul Cameron is now posting in this forum. I'd be interested in his feedback about the artifact issues discussed in a forum about "Deja Vu" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Espenshade Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just shot a short film with four different stocks including the vivid stock. I was impressed, the color saturation was beautiful, but the thing that amazed me was how well in rendered skin tones, it didn't add any red or pink to the actors faces like most high saturation stocks tend to do. The contrast was strong but nothing like reversal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
