Prasad Kumar Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi: I have done loading/unloading the film stock in 16 mm Arri SR II Cameras more than 50 times. Two days back, when I was unloading the film from the magazine and putting it in the can, part of the film stock was exposed to light for 3 to 4 seconds. Immediately I put in the can and sealed it with the gaff tape. Will this have any effect? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 How much ambient light was there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasad Kumar Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 How much ambient light was there ? It's a hallway. Fluorescent light. No sunlight. Tungsten lights was turned off when I was unloading it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander Kroon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 When you say part of the film was exposed do you mean a few feet that was loose from the roll? Like a tail? Or a section of the wound up film was exposed? If it was the latter, then it is very likely that the side of the frame will be exposed and unusable. Did you tell your First AC or DP the film may have been compromised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I should have also asked what iso was the stock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd guess that you have some edge fogging. How severe will depend on the asa of the stock, and whether it was the perf side of the stock that got the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted March 25, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted March 25, 2011 3 or 4 seconds is a long time. I would say, even with slow stock, that you definitely should have edge fogging and figging on the outside couple winds. If it was on the perf side of S16, it may not reach into the image area if you're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
