Specialties
A writer/director with a heartfelt passion for cinematography and editing.
Addicted to celluloid, shooting with a variety of film formats; 35-16-8 and collecting 16mm movie prints.
Although post-production is passed through the digital route, with GV Edius/Avid/Final Cut Pro, I often explore creative post-prod. techniques on a physical level with Steenbeck editing tables.
Right now developing ideas and writing scripts for independent production.

Good luck with workshop idea. It's good to know other people with 2-perf equipment. I'm based in the UK and have two 2-perf cameras; a 35BL4 and a Cameflex both converted by Bruce. On a positive note, it is much easier and cheaper dealing with 2-perf in post now than it's ever been.

What about Isoflex Special Kluber grease?

We had a BL4 successfully converted to 2-perf by Bruce McNaughton at ArandaFilm. I believe 3-perf conversions are also available. Check out: http://www.2perf.arandafilm.com.au/

Are there any British based dops with their own 35mm cameras?

2 perf or 3 perf with Fuji stocks
David J Paradise replied to Joseph OMalley's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
Have a look at ... GRAIN ISSUES WITH 2 PERF ... just below your post. -
What an awesome looking housing. I wonder how many of these they made?

The Fuji Vivid and Kodak Vision3 stocks are amazing and I think you'll be surprised at how good they look. You shouldn't have excessive grain issues with either Fuji 8573 or Kodak 5213. I shot some 2-perf footage on a variety of stocks whilst testing a modified Arri 35BL4. Here's the Youtube link, standard telecine transfer: http://youtu.be/Njm7DJDil1w Sean Bobbitt shot some Fuji 500T 8573 in 2-perf for the 2008 feature; Hunger:

Just a tiny speck or two, minimal really, and you have to look very hard to notice. It was a fast turnaround, at short notice, so I'm fairly certain they scanned it.

I recommend Bucks. Our producer liaised with Keith who offered a great service for a recent 2-perf project. It was essentially test footage but they did a great job and, in this case, had no issues handling 2-perf whatsoever.

I'd like it to be McGarvey but I've got a feeling it'll be Deakins instead.

Spider-Man 2 to be shot on film!
David J Paradise replied to Keith Walters's topic in In Production / Behind the Scenes
It will be interesting to see the cost considering the first one had a budget of $230M.
