thanks mr rogers one other question. i assume you can't ramp on the red? does anyone have info on changing speeds in shot?

i'm shooting a short with the red one and i have a few questions. i read in a previous post that the red can only shoot between 24 (4k) and 120 (2k) fps. is this true? i intend to shoot 6fps second and print every frame 4 times (yes, chunking express). I've also read that in order to pull this off, i need to print the footage in an optical printer. i don't know anything about this. does anyone have any information on this? I'm also shooting at 60 fps. is there anything i should be concerned about or aware of when cutting between 3k and 4k? I've also been told that you can't record different frame rates on one drive. is this true? any help would be appreciated.

John, what am I trying to achieve by filtering the camera. Is there filters that will cancel out the green created by house lights (flourescents). Basically, what will the filter be doing in this situation? Can you recommend a good filter that will do this. Or at least point me in the right direction.

I also have an interior that requires dim lighting. I once shot with the 7218 (500T) and my 300w beTweenies came out hot ( which was good for that film but not for this one). I was thinking of going with the 5277 (320T) because it is medium speed and it is suppossed to feature shadow detail and soft skin tones. I'm shooting dark skinned people. If not then I wanted to go with the 5274 (200T). What do you guys think? Thanks again.

Whats Up Guys, I'm shooting on 35 mm and I'm trying to figure out which stock I want to go with. I have an int scene that mixes flourescents with an HMI and the natural light that will sneak in through very large windows. There's also an exterior noon scene with high speed action. Fuji advertises (on their site) having a stock (reala 500D) with 4th layer technology that makes it easy to mix lights. I wanted to use that in the exterior. The scene, however, has a fast chase scene (on foot, not car) and requires quick camera movements. I was thinking I might need faster film, like Kodak's Vision 800T. This film supposed to work with high speed action. Is high speed action suppossed to be cars and airplanes, or does it apply to people as well. And how will this tungsten balanced film hold up in exteriors? Can you recommend a stock that works well with flourescents? Fuji claims the Reala 500 is great for flourescents. One more. Is it possible to shoot a portion of the film on Fuji and another portion in Kodak? Thanks for all your help guys. I'm a beginner and I lucked out with a big budget. I need to make sure the photography is beautiful.

Is the Fuji Reala 500D the only stock that reacts well to flourescents? Does Kodak have any particular stock that I could use? Being that I was planning on shooting the rest of the movie on Kodak, should I be concerned about shooting a portion of the movie on Fuji and the rest on Kodak? Thanks for all your responses. I'm very happy I have you guys to fall back on.

Whats Up Everyone, I'm shooting at a grocery store. As we all know, grocery stores use flourescents. I was wondering if it is in my best interest to: 1. replace the house lights with kinos or 2. can I leave the bulbs in, gel the other kinos (the ones that I'll use on the floor comng off the genny) with full green, and have my editor bring down the greens in post? If I do this, what effect will it have on the HMI that I am considering using? I'm assuming that it wont have any effect on that light since HMI's don't emit green light. If I replace the house lights with my own kinos, is there any possibility of the film coming out underexposed due to them being so high off the ground? How would I find out? Should I just go into the store with my light meter beforehand or is there literature that can answer my question? Thank you in advance. I truly appreciate the contributions and advice that I receive from this forum. Thief :ph34r:
