F Bulgarelli Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Hello forum, Does anyone have any experience shooting b&w neg. stock (5222) and printing on color print stock. Is that feasible? any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated, Francisco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted March 4, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sure, it's done all the time for movies that mix b&w and color negative and then print onto one color print stock (such as "JFK" which used Double-X b&w neg mixed in). You get a little more contrast because of the gamma of color print stock plus it's hard to time each shot to look as "gray" as possible (it tends to want to pick up a color tint). Many of the bulk release prints for "The Man Who Wasn't There" were on color stock from a b&w intermediate. Only a select few were on b&w stock. If you are mixing 35mm color and b&w and cutting a negative, it's a good idea to put the b&w footage on a B or C roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Bulgarelli Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Thanks David, How about mixing print stocks. I guess they would have to splice them together. It's for a short film so we are only making a few prints. Has that been done? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
