  1. 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.
  2. What about Isoflex Special Kluber grease?
  3. 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/
  4. Are there any British based dops with their own 35mm cameras?
  5. Have a look at ... GRAIN ISSUES WITH 2 PERF ... just below your post.
  6. What an awesome looking housing. I wonder how many of these they made?
  7. 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:
  8. “The agreement allows Co3 to continue to provide a full 35mm/16mm film service. There is a huge appetite among local clients and those overseas to continue shooting on film,” said Patrick Malone, Director of Digital Film Services at Company3 London. ttp://www.screendaily.com/5053929.article
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Having unpaid interns is a sad situation indeed. I've heard where some interns are actually expected to pay for the privilege of gaining experience. Personally I find it all quite shocking and realise how lucky I was as a paid trainee asst-editor, albeit on minimum scale, back in the day!
  12. I'd like it to be McGarvey but I've got a feeling it'll be Deakins instead.
  13. It will be interesting to see the cost considering the first one had a budget of $230M.
