My Camera package and me are up for a feature in August. The film will be shot in the US, but the process and transfer will probably be done in India. This has lead the production to be concerned about using 3 perf. What are problems they may encounter in post, if they shot 3 Perf? What type of telecines support 3 Perf? Any known labs in that area that could do this for sure? Lucas Loureiro

O'Conner 1030 B with 55L carbon fiber 2 two stage legs. Huge range on the legs makes the need for baby legs almost inexistent. $7000 for full set.

Hello Boy I agree with you. The smaller the shutter the less smooth the movement looks like(less blur). I was thinking that because there is so much movement behind the subject, the choppiness would give the image a perception of blur and help take down my light level with out the need for much nd. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but I was wondering if any one has done small shutter and slow FPS. Any way I will do the shoot on 180 and try out smaller shutter and post the results soon.

That is very good advice. I think her moving at apparent normal speed is going to be good enough for me. She is a dancer and I have seen her walking very slow with out any abrupt movements. I will try doing the ones with her standing still also.( with very short ends @ 3 FPS this will the cheapest project I have done :D). What about the shutter angle? Thank you for your reply Tim.

I will be doing a shoot of a girl walking along a downtown street. I wanted to have this girl to walk at normal speed and everyone else flying by quickly. I was planning on shooting at 3 fps and having her walk 8 times as slow and try to time that with a stopwatch. Does this seem suitable? Would any one suggest any different speeds? Would a 144 shutter angle help with the blurry fast speed effect?

Thanks Mike, that helps me out a lot. Lucas Loureiro

I am trieng to find a lux to f-Stop at 50 ASA Thank you so much to anyone that can point me in the right direction Lucas Loureiro

Sorry about that. :)

Hello Alessandro What do you mean by dampening? I am reajusting a leather barney for my Aaton III The one I have know is vey good for hand held, but when I take the bottam part off to work on the tripode, the noise slips out. Lucas Loureiro

I am planning to travel at the end on this month and to shoot some stock footage. I own an Aaton III, which weighs about 16 lbs. Is it possible to take it onboard with me and what is the limit of a case to be taken as a carry on???

I own this camera package and I plan on having this mag checked out on Monday. I have 5 mags so we should be fine, I would just love to get some ideas on the problem.

I am working on a feature with a Aaton III. I am having troubles with one of the AL-X mags. I am loading properly and cannot figure out the problem. I loaded a dummy roll of Kodak and it worked fine. I reloaded the Fuji we are using and when I try to shorten or enlarge the loop, it starts to eat into the film and miss the perfs. I have used these mags endless times and have never encountered this problem. Any Ideas my friends???

Exactly, but there is nothing to be gained by the optical process, unlike a DI! Stephen Hello Stephen I understand what you are saying. D.I. has tremendous advantages over optical. Optical would cost money and lose some quality, but there are some advantages. You can save some money during the first part of production (I am just talking about theoretical projects), you also are gaining with a faster workflow, important if you are on a small crew. So I understand you saying that it would be better to just shot on 4 Perf, but I am just trying to see the deferent options for a project that started out with very little cash and that for some good fortune get a chance to be distributed theatrically.
