Ryan H Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi there. Does anyone know the cheapest place in London that sells this film stock? I've been looking online but can't seem to find anywhere. What sort of price should it cost for a 400ft roll? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Borowski Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I wouldn't roll 500T in 16mm. Just saying. . . I'd stick with 200T, 250D at the highest. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Bonomo Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I wouldn't roll 500T in 16mm. Karl, may I ask you why? We shoot a lot of Kodak 500T on tv series here in Italy (though Fuji is becoming more used) and I don't see a lot of problems with it...but maybe it's just me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Charles MacDonald Posted May 9, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Karl, may I ask you why? We shoot a lot of Kodak 500T on tv series here in Italy The 500T seems to be the most popular speed, so I Imagine the grain is not as bad as it might have been 20 years ago. AS far as the original question, most of the Kodak film is sold direct from Kodak, unless you are looking for ends and such. In the UK, you can start with the old http://www.kodak.com/go/motion address and select UK as your country. - that should let you find the contact info for the local office. (in fact why don't I be thorough - here it is: UNITED KINGDOM Entertainment Imaging Kodak Ltd. Hemel One Boundary Way Hemel Hempstead HP2 7YU England Phone: +44 (0)870 8501904 Fax: +44 (0)870 8502418 Web address: http://www.kodak.com/go/ukmotion ) Edited May 9, 2011 by Charles MacDonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Grain is unacceptably large in S16 500T. i see a lot every day. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Phone Kodak direct. If it's for a personal project, or you are a student, they will give you 15% off list price. 500T grain isn't too bad, and the Vision 3 stocks are a huge improvement. Getting your TK done on a Spirit rather than an Ursa will also help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Martínez Bucio Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Karl, may I ask you why? We shoot a lot of Kodak 500T on tv series here in Italy (though Fuji is becoming more used) and I don't see a lot of problems with it...but maybe it's just me :-) If its about grain, Kodak 500T is great. It's even better than 250D. I shoot a short film in the Basque Country on january 2010. We used both stocks (250D & 500T) and 500T looks better in postproduction. Even Kodak say 250D it's not so good. Don't worry about grain. It's not problem at all, with DI or optical postproduction process. 200T could be and option, but if you are looking for best prices, I think you don't have the biggest budget, so you will be working without a trailer full of HMI's an 20K's... so, 500T its better, even outside, with daylight. And you don't have to use 85 filter. Just remember do your color cards in every roll. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted May 11, 2011 Site Sponsor Share Posted May 11, 2011 Kodak 7219 is a fantastic stock with incredible latitude and excellent grain structure... Here is my example of it's use: The Iron Guild annual show at the Steel Yard.. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
