radar71 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'm shooting a music video next weekend. I just purchased a Kra-3 S16mm with Crystal motor. THe shoot will be in a studio against a white cyc wall. I'll have limited lights: -cyc lights and 2 small softs to light the wall evenly. -a small lowell kit with 4 lights to illuminate the band. -2 soft boxes to light the band, each with 3 300watt bulbs. i suppose this one's hand made. i don't have to shoot the whole group at once. i'm trying to achieve an overall total whiteness in the bg in order to composite over other footage and animated elements which will be shot/created later. i would like to have the characters be low contrast sillouettes. but i would like to be able to see detail in the shadows. in fact, allot of detail, yet still be able to call them "sillouettes". the film will be transferred through a spirit/davinci room. i understand i'll be able to do allot of the contrast/color work there in the room. should i just light evenly and flat and do all the tricky stuff in the davinci? what stocks should i use? i would like it to be as tight and creamy as possible. also, a silly question to most of you: how do i buy super 16mm film in daylight spools, is it just the same as regular 16mm? lastly, i'll be using a tobin crystal motor, 24fps. i plan to create a quicktime movie with an smtp window burn over black and the audio in the sound track. i'll make this using fcp. this will be played using my laptop in place of a "smart slate". Should i adjust the time code settings somehow for film? any one have any experience with this? i did it once before and it worked although i do remember some pain synching it up.

jasarsenault Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Super 16 film is just single perf reg 16. Does your super 16 cam take daylight spools? As well, not all filmstock comes on spools. You may have to buy a larger quantity and spool it yourself. Thast pretty easy to do. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
