Shooting 3 perf 35 mm commercial and focus puller is asking for a 3 perf 35 mm footage table. Can anyone help me with this? Cheers

No, but it's not hard to generate one in a spreadsheet.

 

Running times are simply 4/3 times the equivalent 4-perf times.

 

So at 24fps, 1 foot = 16 frames = 0.667 seconds in 4-perf.

1 foot = 21.333 frames = 0.889 seconds in 3-perf.

 

Or the other way around, 1 minute = 90 ft in 4-perf.

1 minute = 67.5 ft in 3-perf.

 

Put those factors into a spreadsheet, list all the footages or times you want, and the job's done.

i used the calculator in the end and that worked alright. like you wrote it s a simple calculation divide by 4 times 3

 

also found a film calculator on the kodak site where you can put all the different formats

Page 178 in Samuelson's 'Hands-On' Manual for Cinematographers. Dave Eubanks exceptionally useful P-Cine program also has 3 Perf at all speeds. Lovely format.
