Do you mind having a look at these too? https://www.filemail.com/d/enhgovqfoynktdz

It's from a 35mm feature me and a friend have just finished. Ideally we need a london based colourist to help us out finish it. Essex Stargate is the name (pending MGM clearance - so probably won't be that....)

Hello there, Anyone? I've attached a link to some raw DPX frames. Can anyone mess about with these and make them good? DPX FILES https://www.filemail.com/d/pmtbrmahsldqgit

Cheers kenny I dug out the manual and it appears the spirit has some fpn buttons, do you reckon it's something as simple as that? http://www.hawtreecreek.com/film2tape/Spirit%20Manuals/spirit_operations.pdf ?

yes it looks like Fixed pattern noise. What would you do in my situation? I've emailed back the Scanning company with Stills. Where do you reckon I Stand? I think they have a North light scanner too. I guess I could ask them to try on that. (though they say it will cost a lot more). This is so annoying. Do you know anywhere with a 2K Spirit that don't charge 50p a frame. These guys were doing 1500ft for 200 quid which seemed 'ok'..

Yes sorry, to Clarify I'm not talking about the scratch. I'm talking about the horizontal striping. Any idea of the cause of this? I'm pretty sure it can't be the neg as this has happened to two batches now.

2k - any takers?

Hi all, I have a question. I've had a couple of scans done by a company that has a Spirit 2K scanner. The DPX files when viewed in Nuke (or any other viewer) displays these faint lines in the background. (see attached). When the footage is moving it's not *so* visible but I assume this isn't normal as footage from a different post house never displayed this effect. Can ANYONE shed any light on to this? https://images.creativecow.net/221967/test3.jpg https://images.creativecow.net/221967/test2.jpg Yours sincerely Phil

Will accept £2400 Cheers

Don't suppose you're up for doing the lighting on our shoot? It's on the 27th of July. The film is 'The Essex Starkey'. Silly black comedy sci-fi all on 35mm. We don't have much money but it would be a giggle. Here is a piece in Dazed and confused about the film.. http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/17503/1/chelmsford-film-society

What will the effect of using the Fluro fixtures be? And how would you augment them? Yeah it's the one at Kelvedon !!! :)

What sort of lights do you reckon would be best to hire? 300w Arri Junior lights? And where would you put them?

The vibe of the scene is scary, oppressive. It's supposed to be a mental home. So we want to go for quite a nightmare place.

Hi Guys We're shooting a scene in a nuclear bunker towards the end of the month. We're going to be using 500T fuji Stock. One scene is a dorm, I've attached a couple of pics. We are going to track into the action. Any ideas?

Where are you based?

I have an Arri-3 - using it all the time.

Yes, the camera would be taken back to the car/trailer where the mag/lens change would occur. This should not be done by someone with no experience. I know the danger of sand particles. Especially with glass. All you need is a few grains and some moron with a cloth to scratch up your lens. Not to mention the impact of sand grains in the actual mechanism. Yeah I ment trash bags.

I carry around a tea spoon in my pocket. Comes in handy to tighten that screw on the bottom of the tripod plate thing. And i can stir tea's.

While I was shooting Stargate we ran into many dust problems. I solved them with an elementary solution. The humble black trash bag with sellotape. Yes, I simply put a bin liner around the camera and made a hole for the lens. I think taped it all up. Job's a goodun. If you have budget, try the Hydroflex 435 Deep Water Housing. http://www.hydroflex.com/site/cameras/435deep.html Will protect you from dust no worries and you can go for a swim with it too :D
