Light spill (?) on the edge of frame

[David Mullen ASC]

I see what you are saying now... yes, since it's not on the negative, it's a telecine artifact. Maybe their sensor / pick-up device / line scanner just craps out on the extreme edge of Super-35... or maybe there is somehow a gate flare in the telecine. You could see what happens if you transfer it on a different machine or use a film scanner.

[Edgar Nyari]

Yes I'll do that for sure eventually. We are preparing a small production this month, which I hope to scan in 2K by the end of this year, probably Arriscan so I'm sure there won't be any such problems. Thanks everyone for your contributions. I'm relieved that I don't have a leaking mag or something that drastic.

It was hard to orient the image, because the claper loader dissapeared in the neg. But the house, seen against the sky, was recognizable on the neg, near where the problem line should have been on the neg, if it existed there..

Yeah. I was going by the orientation of the road. By the way, I am the clapper/loader in this frame, because I switched with my actual clapper/loader, just to have a souvenir appearance on film for a second or two :) You can even see the light-meter hanging around my neck. :)

I saw the light meter, and thought this might be the photographer. But it was too clumsy in haste to write "the man with the clapper board and light meter".

 

People who love film are often effectively accused of being sentimental. Bravo for being unashamedly so.

[Edgar Nyari]

Yeah, I am indeed guilty of being unashamedly sentimental about film. I'm not even going to go into the whole issue of how insane it is to shoot 35mm on our budget. We'll have a Black Magic for backup, but I personally hope we never end up needing it. :)
