  1. 1- KONVAS 400ft magazine. Serviced 10 months ago. Works well. Always produced stable footage. $125.00. Shipping inside the USA is $12.00 PAYPAL accepted.
  2. A few days ago, a man that works at a well known camera rental house in New York mentioned that there has been a large increase of 35mm and 16mm camera rental. Film will be around for a while longer. :) To Answer your question: 1) It would take an independently wealthy individual to buy a few processing machines from a lab that recently closed - to keep the remaining film being processed until it runs out. That may take a while because after Kodak and Fuji, there is Agfa and the Chinese and Gigabit film. The acetate and polyester base for the film will still be available. That same wealthy individual or some similar minded group would need to buy a film perforator. 2) What could be lost? Well controlled lab processes like Technicolor ENR or DELUXE ACE, CCE.
  3. It pisses me off when a classic film is color corrected with 'MODERN' teal&rust orange color casts. It ruins the picture. Watch any big budget Hollywood film in the past 10 years and everything has TEAL & RUST coloring in the background. I agree, Blake. I like the old DVD color correction better. Sure, there may have been trends when the SPIRIT telecine came out, but the new trends are boring.

  5. In case you missed these articles about KODAK STILL Film sales, have a read: http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/2140216/-film-division-profitable-kodak Silverprint, a UK distributor and retailer of film equipment, agrees, stating that "over the last 12 months our sales figures of traditional film and paper have risen." It adds, on its Facebook page: "Silverprint has never been more determined in our commitment to supplying all our analog users worldwide, with everything they require to enjoy and develop both their careers or simply their love of analog photography. We feel that the press has currently converted the KODAK Story from "133 Year Old Company...Dead!"...to "Film...DEAD!". This is simply not the case, both in terms of sales figures and the current online buzz surrounding analog imagery and techniques. Variety is the spice of life and surely we are all commited to that idea!" http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/q-and-a/1735570/kodak-there-real-resurgence-film
  6. Go the the IMDB page for the movie. Sign up for a free trial account with IMDB PRO. You can then get the contact the information for the production company. Email them and ask for their FOREIGN Sales representative, they can set up a screening of the film in the planetarium.
  7. 70mm movies are listed on this website. they also provide location and screening info. http://www.in70mm.com/now_showing/index.htm
  8. LED tech still needs some work. Wait a few more years before buying one. : http://www.icgmagazine.com/wordpress/2011/06/02/it’s-a-phosphorous-world/
  9. Lab Technician. There are still plenty of labs in the US that do blow ups and reductions. Here are a few: http://cinemalab.com/ http://www.cineric.com/ http://www.metropolisfilmlab.com/ http://www.alphacine.com/services/opticals.php

  11. KODAK 160T EKTACHROME Reversal Slide Film 35mm 2- 100ft rolls $40 each. $75 for both 100ft rolls. A 100ft roll can be used in an ARRI ARRIFLEX or EYEMO 35mm Movie camera. Kept in the freezer.

  12. Kelly Cine V3 35mm Depth-of-field Calculator In Original Case. In Good Condition. $65.00 404.932.5671
  13. 2 - 400ft KONVAS magazines They are in good condition and work well. $185.00 for both with FREE SHIPPING.
  14. Ahh yes.. ENR. The good stuff. Yep. I remember seeing the film in the theater 4 times, then watching the DVD 6 months later. That ENR look still resonates in my mind. The same can be said for 'THE BEACH' (shot by Darius Khondji). That film also has the ENR processing on the prints.
  15. Read the November 1999 issue of American Cinematographer, all the info is there. Use TUNGSTEN (non-flouresecent) lights, the flat and circular China-Hat type that you see in factory workshop areas. Do not make the light too soft. Pay attention to wardrobe and set design.
  16. Phil, The benefit of shooting on EKTAR is that its 35mm color negative. Your are starting with a higher quality image that you can blur/downgrade and add grain as much as you like. It will also be easier for the matte painter to work with. You can shoot a very cheap test and it take it to CVS/Walgreens (local drugstore film lab) and have it back in 1 hour.
  17. Phil, What Karl said is correct, but could still shoot the background plate on 16mm and apply image steadiness with After Effects or SHAKE/SMOKE software. Another approach is to shoot the background plate with a 35mm SLR camera loaded with KODAK EKTAR : http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/EKTAR_100_Film__135/productID.188421000 and then add moving grain to the still image with an efx program.
  18. Do you have a link to some footage shot with the 75mm? Has the lens been collimated? What is the optical bench lp/mm reading for the 75mm? Do you have a flight cae for the 75mm?
  19. Karl, Compare crossprocessed FUJI VELVIA and a Bleach Bypassed ECN-2 film print. Both create contrasty images, yet one has less color saturation than the other.
  20. Anthony, Have a look at this: https://www.cameraguild.com/member-resources/techtips/testing-the-limits.aspx These extensive tests should answer your questions. Looking at the example pictures, I'm seeing that C-41 provides a more contrasty and slightly desaturated image. The color yellow doesn't register on the color chart.
  21. Karl, Is the E-6 film in question, Ektachrome 100D? If so, load some KODAK 100VS into your 35mm SLR for cheap tests that will bring your into the range you will be shooting in with your mopic camera. Your exposure baseline might be 1/3 under if you want the added color saturation.
  22. I visited the KODAK website yesterday and learned that the 5230/7230 filmstock is now available in 35/16. I called KODAK and spoke to a customer sevice rep that gave me pricing info. I cannot find any info that seperates this filmstock from 5219,5229 or 5260, regarding image quality. It is cheaper than 5219. It IS NOT a member of the VISION3 family. I have yet to hear from my KODAK sales rep. Does anyone have anymore info? Thanks.
  23. Karl, Have a look a KODAK 5242 : http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Lab_And_Post_Production/Intermediate_Films/5242.htm I was planning to use KODAK Teleprint to give my DVD transfers some extra built in contrast. I learned of 5242 and how it is used for DVD transfers. Sure, 5242 is not the same. I was looking for a way to physically 'bake' the look into the image without further tampering.
  24. FOTOKEM in Los Angeles can telecine the film for you : http://www.fotokem.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=81 CREST NATIONAL can also transfer the footage : http://www.crestnational.com/services_post.php
