andres victorero Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi, I´m currently thinking to shoot a short where I will be a DP with Kodak Vision3 7219 The short will be mostly EXT and I´m thinking to pull the 7219 to get less grain and less contrast. Do you have some experience pulling this stock? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Buenos tardes Andres. I've no experience with '19 (yet ;-) ), but I can tell you that, with color neg., pulling doesn't help that much. At most I'd pull a stop, maybe rate at 160 or 200 (at what'd be 250). Grain may be slightly better, though probably not as much as with 200T or 320D stock. You'll also have reduced contrast. Hope this helps. Good luck in your endeavours.

Premium Member David Regan Posted October 12, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey Andres I actually just did a push/pull test with the 7219, not much just a stop either way. The pulling was a very subtle difference as Karl said, you don't see it too much. Subtly reduced contrast and saturation can be seen in the color chart, but as far as grain goes, its very minimal. I find the 7219 already holds up so well, the grain is very minimal if it is properly exposed. Even over/underexposed by 2 stops, it was still very usable, some increased grain, but not terrible. I'll try and post some stills if I can ever figure out why this site won't let me anymore lol. Cheers and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umpornpol Yugala Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 What reason to use 500T for Ext shoot? Why don't use 50D stock instead? You gonna set lens at about T64 and when u drop in ND filters you gonna see nothing in viewfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will shoot at the end of the day too. thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Burke Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yes I know. but the Ext places are mostly in dark shadows and poor sunlight. We will shoot at the end of the day too.thanks for the replies why not the 250D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Go for 7205 or (to color balance in post) 7217. I would also consider using Fuji Vivid 160 T or 7212 if it is bright enough, unless you really can't color correct in post. Pulled 500 ASA film for even medium brightness daylight exteriors is really not a good idea. Unless it really is at the end of the day, last lights. You may have to use a lot of ND to compensate for what you can't pull in processing and the viewfinder gets really dark, hard to focus. The flipside is it may be nice to have if it really gets too dark . . . I have pulled 7205 two stops in bright sunlight, with snow. Really nice grain but milky contrast, and expensive to process. I wouldn't do it again. If you wan to see what it looks like, click on older reel below, in my signature section. It is the cop footage. I color corrected it in post, as it was too bland for my taste. Where are you shooting, anyway? Edited October 20, 2008 by Saul Rodgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rakoczy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Pulling 19 for less Grain kinda sounds like Obama's Economic Plan for Small Businesses (Saul?).. no help at all! I wouldn't shoot anything faster than 200asa in S16.. day or night. After tha Palin comment Saul.. I couldn't help myself :lol: Have a great day!

Daniel Porto Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Does pulling film create more detail in shadows and blacks??? I heard David Fincher mention this on one of the commentaries (most likely fight club) and I read that they rated 500T film as 320. I guess it most likely does capture more detail and because of this contrast is reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't help myself :lol: Fair enough. :) We can politely disagree with each other and still respect each other otherwise, right? I gotta say, the other day I shot some interior footage lit by warm afternoon light -daylight uncorrected- 7218 (rated 320) on R16 and Spirited it, zooming in to fill the screen to 16x9. I was really pleasantly surprised when I looked a the Spirit transfer!! Looks beautiful! I had not shot 500asa on R16 or S16, only 400 asa rated 250 asa -particularly following the Spirit post workflow. The good news is it can look really good. There is more grain, of course, but nothing like I would expect. Not for every project, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is yes. The archive is brimming with the detailed explanations I could give, but refuse to butcher up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 20, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted October 20, 2008 Saul, as for the '18. Normally I like it in Super16, but watch out for a low contrast scene with a lot of white. The grain can bite you in the ass there! For anything moody/dark, with a lot of contrast, I can like the look of '18, though I'm slowly starting to see what David means by not going over 200T. It's my go-to all around stock anymore (as I can shoot it int or ext under existing lighting (not at night, though)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use that, but I got to say the 500T really makes me wonder how much I can get away with . . . In my test, the grain was worse in underexposed areas, as I would expect. The highlights were great generally. But I have seen some gnarly grain in light mid tones before, maybe that is what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rakoczy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 100t is awesome in S16.. hope you try it soon Adrian.. treat it just like 200t... and you'll get even more perceived Sharpness! I shoot 100t and 200t exclusively with 50D sprinkled in. 200t at Night is beautiful and you really can light a large area with smaller Lamps (using more Hard Light). Just shot some Vivid 160.. it is ok.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, The horror! As for the 100T, I'm going to try for it on the next one, mixed in with 200T. That wont' be till January, though, unless this music video comes through. Here's hoping. I know though, that I'll have to use some '19 for the Jan shoot, though, just to deal with a particularly bad location that the director really likes (very dark club scene, and chances are It'll be just go in and shoot. . . no lighting. . .so i'm a bit worried about that). Oh, David, the last project on the 200T, where I had to call you for technical help, came out looking wonderful, I think. As soon as I get some screen grabs from the color corrected one, I'll shoot them over to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Just shot some Vivid 160.. it is ok.. No love for Vivid then? I actually like the stock quite a bit, despite its non-Kodak otherness . . . Definitely has its place when Kodak "pretty" stock is not called for. And yes, '12 and 17' are an awesome stock combo!!

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 20, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted October 20, 2008 I wish kodak would bring their new '60 stock out as a 16mm, I'd like to play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard David Fincher mention this on one of the commentaries (most likely fight club) and I read that they rated 500T film as 320. be caseful between "pulling" and just reducing your working rating. Pulling implies you will modify the procesing (generaly by shortening the development time) to make the film less sensitive. Just picking a setting that gives more than stock exposure- ie 500T film shot at 320 is not "Pulling" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
