Also looking for the Aaton groundglass extraction tool.

Otherwise just as the topic says... locations in Europe very much preferred

Marc, I bought a cable from a person in the Netherlands off eBay. He has a barney here, eBay auction 270559311276. He is selling ground glasses as well, but not a 1.85 Good luck, Matt

I'm in search of a Canon 50-300mm zoom for shoot May 22-June 6. I'd either like to purchase the lens, or rent it.

 

I'd prefer Aaton mount, but Arri B would work as well.

Alain, there's one on eBay - don't know anything about it. eBay item # 280366972859 Matt

Not to try to compete against Marty, but I have an Aaton LTR 7 package that I am looking to sell. Thanks, Matt, elyoneone@yahoo.com.

Ray, I can't reply - your pm box is full, Matt.

Just to throw more chaos into the mix, I have an Aaton LTR 7 that I am going to sell. Body# 690, Reg 16mm, two reg 16mm mags, Zeiss 10 to 100mm T3, two bats, adapters to Arri and Nikon, cases, matte box etc. Selling as I have an XTR Prod I'm looking to upgrade, and I've only used this body three times in the last year. If interested contact me here, or at elyoneone@yahoo.com, 406.580.3591, Bozeman, MT . Thanks, Matt Ely

I use & Transfer in Dallas, TX. Terry Hall, 214.615.8240. Matt.

I have a Sachtler Video 20 that I use with my Aaton XTR and I love it. I have had it up with an 800' mag, 400mm Canon and a Marshall 7" monitor, and i have complete control. Matt.

I had three recelled at a chain store called Batteries Plus. They put in 2400 ? nicad cels which run a long time on my Aaton XTR with video asssist. They charged me $79.00 each. They recelled some battery belts for me for $300.00 each, and LA quoted me $475 plus shipping. Just a thought, because they are only batteries. Matt.

Great, thanks!

I was just wondering if any of you out there have experienced a client demanding that you NOT working for another production company, putting forth the ultimatum that if you did, you would no longer get work from them. I'm sure it's happened, but I just had it happen to me today for the first time. One company I work for quite often, and really have no problem working for, called me to specifically tell me that another company was coming to town from out of state to shoot a portion of the same commercial campaign. I was very specifically told that if I worked the shoot for this other company, I would no longer be hired by the first company.

 

Any experiences like this? And if so, how did you handle the situation?

 

To me this seems very childish. I understand they are not happy about losing some work to another company, but in my opinion, it is none of their business who I am working for when I'm not under contract with them.

 

Anyways, thanks for any opinions.

I've just gone through a similar situation. I work for various companies here in the state, and one producer told me he reserved the right to not hire me if I aligned myself as a DP in a job bid. I responded that as I am only employed as a sub contractor by any of the companies, I reserve the right to work for who I wish, and as the other company had contacted me first, I agreed to work for them if they won the bid. I also informed him that if I were the producer, I would hire a crew based on their expertise, rather than their friendships or aliances. He wound up getting the job, and has asked to me about working on the project. I think you need to put them in your shoes. Ask them what they would do if they were in your situation. Then tell them if they offer you $100K a year, you will only work for them! Best of luck,

Yeah I know about Cinema Post in Savannah. They are backed up!

 

Where is a place on the east coast that is fast and reliable?

Try Video Post and Transfer in Dallas Tx. Ask for Terry Hall at 214-350-2676, tell him your troubles, and tell him I sent you. They've been great to me. Hope it helps, Matt Ely.

Yes I'm sure a lot of it has to do with overexposure, lens flare and the right time of day. I'm going to shoot this question to the colorist and figure out her capabilities. There's not a lot of colorist in Dallas, TX. :(

 

Nathan Milford: I'm posting on behalf of myself, so I can better explicate what I want to the DP prior to the shoot.

 

Jonathan Bowerbank: Would you happen to have any footage for me to view online that was shot on the Kodak 7217?

 

Thanks to all for replying.

Aaron, you have a great lab and transfer house in Dallas, Video Post and Transfer. They handle 80% of the 16mm shot for political campaigns. Call Terry Hall there, and get him to walk you through the lab and transfer suites. They have top notch equipment and colorists. Tell him I sent you. Best of luck, Matt Ely.
