    Thanks Satsuki, Your answer is very helpful. -Jerry

    I'm interested in hearing from editors who have used FilmConvert. How well does it match specific film stocks, such as 5279, 5219, etc? Are any of the older EXR stocks supplied as LUTs? http://filmconvert.com/purchase/default.aspx?promo_code=bloom -Jerry Murrel Cinevision AR Little Rock

    Perhaps a 35mm ‘VistaVision’ Mitchell Geared head, or a classic 22" Moy geared head. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    Here are three files which may be helpful in showing connectivity of the recorder to the D-21. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    I see a 2K Spirit DataCine going for $35,000 on eBay. Or best offer. That sounds overpriced to me. (I'd prefer not to buy one from a theater auction house or broker.) -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    Matthew, Mark Mervis is selling several D-21s, and has a digital recorder option to go with the camera, for a reasonable price. If you are interested, message me here and I can put you in contact with him. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    I think even those who dislike the whole idea found this interesting and useful. Someone should say thanks for doing that (blog, photos). So thanks Aapo. Absolutely. Thanks Aapo! Very useful article. Thanks for taking the time to do this. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

I seem to recall Barger Baglites demonstrating an impressive setup with gold diffusion at CineGear (WLA Veteran's Hospital grounds, ~2005 or 2006). A more affordable option might be to use a gold-colored gel, such as Roscolux #08: Pale Gold http://www.rosco.com/filters/roscolux.cfm As David mentions above, one should pay particular attention to subject and background colors, (in all lighting situations). -Jerry Murrel Cinevision, AR Little Rock, USA

    I'm looking for a well maintained Moviecam Compact Speed controller in good condition. Please reply if you have one or know of one for sale. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR USA 310 770-0097

    Looks like a very well maintained Compact, James. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, Arkansas USA

    I don't have the information Marc is requesting, but I am wondering if the time has now come for camera manufactures to start designing an board tool in digital cameras to determine color temperatures on set. Not sure how white balance circuitry achieves it's purpose, but it seems that it wouldn't be too difficult to design a smarter circuit in camera that measures color temperature of light falling on objects displayed in viewfinder. A untethered probe could be built which would allow the DP or AC to take these measurements in hand-held fashion. The signal could be sent wirelessly from the probe to the camera for the on-board circuitry to analyze. Does this sound feasible to those of you who are reading this and have some knowledge of digital camera design? -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    Personally, as an 1st AC, I've never worked on any film in which we used tripods without the front box mount. Having said that, the fluid heads have always been O'Connors or Sacthler 9+9s. If the front box interferes with a shot, it can be removed in only a second. What I don't keep in the front box stays on my belt or in my set bag. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    I just found out that Film Source LA have no 16mm short ends on hand, and virtually no 35mm short ends, whatsoever. They recommended Comtel in Burbank, but the owner there wants to sell his short ends for about $10 less than what Kodak charges for new film. I was literally quoted $150 for a 400 ft. roll of Vision 3 50D stock. Kodak's price is $160.80. Does anyone know of a good source for short ends? Looking for a place that tests the film with a densitometer, and doesn't keep old stock on hand for years at a time. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    Here's an impressive video shot with the Arri D-21. This was lit properly, and was well graded in post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBFxtqne-0g -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    No one here has mentioned the most obvious advantage to the Optical viewfinder. It's much easier to do critical focus with an optical finder, and it's much less eye-strain. Another point being overlooked here, is that you're not going to find any working Alexa's for under $10K, including the viewfinder. I think the Arri D-21 is an excellent choice, and some DPs feel that it is the most film-like of all the digital cameras, even more so than the Alexa. Arri in Munich still services these cameras, and they can be dropped off at Arri CSC or Arri Burbank and the Arri folks will ship them to Munich for you. If you can afford the lighting package needed for interiors due to the 200 ASA, then I think it's an excellent choice. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

    "Im considering buying a Moviecam Sl, but i dont know much about that product... Can someone please tell me about it? Is it a good film camera, quality, Etc?" The Moviecam SL is a nice camera, but a little loud compared to a Moviecam Compact (25 dB for SL, versus <20dB for the Compact.) It is much lighter, and useful for Steadicam work. (3.5 Kg for the SL without magazine; 6.3 Kg for the Compact w/o magazine). Hope this helps. -Jerry Murrel Little Rock, AR

Randy, do you still have your Super 1.85 ground glass for the Moviecam Compact? Would you happen to have the Super 2.35 ground glass as well? -Jerry Murrel Cinevision AR Little Rock

    "Now I'm planning to invest 1k bucks to buy a lighting kit to rent to other companies and to use by myself to make feature film for theaters, tv and web." Your budget may be a bit on the low end for putting together a good kit which you can use and rent out. I would suggest hard lighting - you can always soften hard light with a scrim or net, but you can't make soft light hard. Arri makes a nice 3 light kit with a Chimera for about $1970~ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=527188&gclid=COWMpLq-jr8CFUwV7AodvXcARA&Q=&is=REG&A=details These lights have fresnel lenses and come with barn doors, which will give you more control. This is a good starter kit, and you can always add softlights, or larger tungsten lamps (e.g. 1K and 2K Tungstens are very useful). -Jerry Murrel Cinevision AR Little Rock

    Satsuki, Axel is still working on Arris. I talked to him a few weeks ago about a 35BL. (He did a wonderful job rebuilding my 16BL, as well as my 35 BL-1.) Axel Broda 661 821-6725 Tehachapi, CA -Jerry Murrel LIttle Rock, AR

    "Having trouble to operate the camera as the motor is acting weird...i have an XLR4 12V battery for this cam as recommended. When I plugged it on the power the camera started to "cough" and cogging which I found weird...then I found that I could actually change some connectivity or circuit manually swapping a little 6 pin square plate at the back of the motor (see picture with the rods removed) and after that as soon as I plugged the camera on power the motor kept running on 50+ speed all the time without me switching on or off, nonstop and I can not even change the frame/sec at all...could anyone help me what is this as I honestly have not seen anything like that...thank you!" I would give Axel Broda a call - he's the best Arri technician in the entire world - and one of the few who still works on the 16BL. Axel Broda (661) 821-6725.
