  1. Any questions you have about Konvas or Kinor cameras can be answered here: www.konvas.org. It has a TON of onformation about these cameras. Join the mailing list and get a weekly stream of info about the cameras and people actually shooting with them. I just finished a short shot with my Konvas. Also check out this site : www.konvas.info There is detailed info about lubing the camera and magazines.
  2. Dig up reciepts of your camera purchase or make fake ones that show the value. Look into getting a carnet. A carnet is a document that allows you to bring your "tools of the trade' into the country without hassle. http://www.osec.doc.gov/ogc/occic/atacarnet.html

  11. Set your target first. Always work smart. Go to craigslist.org and pick the cities closet to you (Seattle, Portland, etc.), and answer ads in the film/tv area looking for a PA or grip for a short film. Once you get that first film, you'll have made several contacts in that city. That can grow into more work. Then cast your fishing line to another city and do the same. It will work. Be patient and persistent. You have to hustle,man. Network - run your mouthpiece.

  13. It would be safe to assume the filmstock now has a workable ASA of 200. I shot some footage on 10 year old 5246 250D 35mm motion picture film. I rated it at 125 ASA, I was suprised that there was little fogging.. The colors looked good. The film had been stored at room temperature for 7 years !!!!

  16. Wow. They actually did the cartoon series(original) some justice. I am always happy to see an Anamorphic film with great focus pulling. The CGI was good, not too much American Velveeta. Jazz was the flyest of them all. Also, glad to hear Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime again. Pretty Good.
  17. Eventually, you will have to shoot some film. Just go and do it, you will thank yourself. Go and shoot some Super 8 negative film like 7217 or 7218. Have a look at www.pro8mm.com. Check out the FUJI VIVID 160T. Go shoot some. Now..... to fix up the video stuff you got. Work in 10bit color space or use Color Finesse 2, which has floating point color space. Secondary corrections/looks. Crush the shadow detail. Mess with the gamma.Blur the high lights. Use After Effects to apply multiple layer masks/multiple corrections. Most of the stuff you need comes with basic After Effects. You need only supply imagination. The only plugin I would recommend is Color Finesse 2 by Synthetic Aperture.
