Hi Mr Mullen Thanks for your reply. it was so informative for me. It's clear that I have to learn 35mm by myself. I've been to cinema "Blood Diamond" last night. There were some sights which I've also used to see at many other cinema films like "Man on fire". They are mostly using tele objective for shooting those kind sights. Here in Turkey tele objective is not used that common. I found sights shooted with Tele objective very impressing. In which occasioans do you think that tele objectives needed to be used ? Have you seen those films? My new goal is to catch the "Sparta 300" cinema film's colors with same quality at video cameras. By decreasing Kelvin degrees and using chocolate filter, i'm hoping to achive that goal. I found colors and effects on "Man on fire" and "De Javu" cinema films unbelievable. I guess that is Paul Cameron style or Tony Scott's. But I couldn't saw that sights at Tony Scott's other films. For that reason I concluded that it is Paul's style. I wonder if that sights come up as the output of camera or as a result of editing stage. If its with camera how can I get it? Thanks in advance Kaan

Hi Mullen I have heard that Kodak will stop production of negative film in 2010. For this reason the 35 mm will be history because of its expensive cost. Is it possible ? Besides do you know any document or film that is shoot with red ? What do you think about red and future of 35 mm?

i'm planning to read a book specificly about lightning .. i need your offer on that subject... do you have any book or author offer.. thanks for your help..

There are very useful informations about 16mm and 35mm in your book. But in my country, 16mm and 35mmare used specificly for cinema films, advertising films for tv and some video music clips.. but i'm a cameraman at tv-serial which is the most popular one "Avrupa Yakasi" in Turkey it's used to be used digital betacam or hd in tv serials.. it's so hard for a person to learn 35 mm in Turkey if you are not a MSU university graduate.. there is a union which is composed of 50-60 MSU graduate and that group involves the persons who knows 35mm in Turkey and they don't accept any other universty graduate and we can specificly say that that knowledge is at their monopoly.. For that reason, I have to learn 35 mm by myself and I'm planing to buy camera.. Do you think that 8mm could help me for the begining? Do you have any idea about the prices of 8mm or 16mm? Thanks in advance!
