John,
So what would be your very, very best price on this stock? Call me next week or e-mail me at david@edgewoodstudios.com -David Giancola 802-773-0510 www.edgewoodstudios.com
Hey all,I have just over 6900ft of 5229 from recans and short ends that I am selling for $650 (that includes shipping). Most are in 250-400ft rolls cut from our 1000 ft rolls. They've been kept in temperate conditions.
The film was ordered straight from Kodak in the last few weeks and has been kept in my apartment since we wrapped production last week. Any questions or if your interested, send me a PM. I'd prefer paypal as the method of payment to protect both myself and the buyer.
I am open to bids... :D

REPLY TO KEVIN JACKMAN'S QUESTION - (Sorry I had to do it here as the site is telling me your mailbox is full)
Kevin, Man, I gotta sell but I guess if you are talking just the camera and all accessories, mags, matte box, vid tap, rods, extra parts, etc. and not the anything from the bottom of the camera down (support) or lens, then I am thinking 12K for the camera- but am open to offers and as I have done before, payment plans. The camera can vari-speed as well as run at 24FPS sync - I am sure a tech like Tobin or TCS can set you up with the exact frame rate you need easily. Thanks ! -David Giancola 802-236-7695 dave@edgewoodstudios.com

How do you know you can´t! When I bought an Ultracam from David he said he would not be insulted by any offers. Reasonable means many things!

Stephen, Thanks so much, you are right, and as you so astutely surmised - I am in the same situation. Hope you are having fun with the Ultracam. I miss them - great cameras - mfg. before their time.... - Be well -Dave Giancola dave@edgewoodstudios.com 802-236-7695

Arri 2perf
in 35mm
Hey David (from Edgewood)--Good to hear you've switched successfully to 2-perf. I think your mostly closed-loop production model is perfectly suited to the format. That and I'm sure you're glad to be rid of the Ultracams.
Well, yes but they were ultimately a profitable investment for me. Also at the time I owned them there were many owners who worked together to re-do the electronics and such and a tech who dedicated himself to the cameras. I still think they are a good one-owner camera, but they have made me a big fan of SIMPLICITY in electronics in cameras. Funny story; I had a gig for hire where they wouldn't let us use the Ultracams as they got blamed for EVERYTHING that went wrong in the camera department even if it wasn't their fault. (Labs and humans NEVER make mistakes-right?) So here I am working with an Arri 35BL3 Rental from a very reliable rental house - and it has a major breakdown with it's shutter and we lose half a days work! I had to pull out the Ultracams to save the rest of the day.... All equipment breaks down sometimes - except it seems, my Arri 2C, which is a very simple camera. I really would of like to have seen what would have happened if the Loenetti's got to another generation with those cameras.
Hi John,The specs claim 20db, The one from Roderick Stevens is very quiet, the other rather quiter than a DigiBeta.
They went with a Mitchell style movement, but did not think to make the apeture plate light tight! If your unlucky light can very slightly fog film through the registration pins and advance claw! Nothing a bit of black tape can't fix. For some reason problems only occur with Kodak stock, the ramjet of Fuji seems blacker by a couple of stops.
Stephen
Hi Mitch,
The only way I have been able to Jam an Ultracam is with incorrect film lacing, missing out the roller with a buckle switch attached! If the batteries are low, the take ups don't take up fast enough and the film raps itself around the main drive sproket. It's a mistake you won't make twice!
The only problems I can report from the Edgewood camera is the cut out swich on the door needed replacing. Strangely the switch had been 'repaired' before, about $1 and 5 minutes with a soldering iron fixed it! also the shutter was very slightly out of sync, but not enough to notice!
Stephen
Stephen,
The gates for all our cameras were "Optimized" for FUJI stock, I think you can adjust the gate to tighter tolerances for Kodak. We were having the Fuji stock shaved off at the sides as the tolerances were not as fine as Kodak (hence the rubies in the gate) and Dennis Steinhaier, our tech said the cameras had to be adjusted for each stock - not sure how to do that though. Good Luck. -Dave

Arri 2perf
in 35mm
Hello- so great to see so many friends I have talked with in the past on this site - I love it.
We at Edgewood are embracing 2-Perf in a big way. In the past, we have spent a mint on (2) Super 16mm CP-16R Cameras over the years and had many successful features (all for sale if anyone is interested lenses, follow-focus, video tape, etc. all immaculate call (802) 773-0510) and had great success (seven feature films - check out our website www.edgewoodstudios.com) While we are losing speed and flexibility, Techniscope makes sense as our budgets have gone up. We have a Arri 2C/T in a lightweight Cine 60 Blimp adapted for our Canon Speed Primes, we also have a Cooke zoom, and the standard Angenieux 25-250, all BNCR and a rare Cinema Products XR-35 Studio Camera professionally converted which is being finished with a new ground glass.
I have spent years collecting and researching this format and, I may be crazy but I think it is perfect for my company at this time and maybe others. If you go to our site and get to the camera section there is a comparison of all the formats (double-checked at the Panavision site) and they speak for themselves. Our ground glasses are set for scope with a 16x9 safe zone. I know, why the XR-35? I have heard too many horror stories and owned a couple of Russian cameras with sad results. I wish I had met Ed DeGulio (who recently passed away) of Cinema Products as I am a big fan. Our Super16mm CP's ran great in ANY environmental conditions and have excellent and very simple electronics. The XR has tested the same so far and has the "heart" of a Mitchell anyways.
While I will gladly rent this equipment out for someone else's feature, I need to have one of my AC's go with the stuff as it's condition is very important to the studio. Plus, it's worth it to have someone who knows the equipment anyways. More to come. GREAT SITE! -David Giancola dave@edgewoodstudios.com www.edgewoodstudios.com
Techniscope
in 35mm
Posted
I have to answer this a lot: TECHNISCOPE IS ALIVE AND VERY WELL IN NEW ENGLAND AT EDGEWOOD STUDIOS. WWW.EDGEWOODSTUDIOS.COM Our equipment and info on the format is on the site if you click on "Production Facilities". We have a converted Cinema Products XR-35 with Video Tap and a ARRI 2C/T That has the lens centered for Vistascope (so you can get that extra area from the sound track if you want. We also have the 2C in a Lightweight Cine 60 Blimp. We have had great luck with the format but I willl tell you that we only rent out to others if our AC's go with the equipment. (Sorry, but too many horror stories with inexperienced filmmakers) Check it out or e-mail me with questions at david@edgewoodstudios.com or (802) 773-0510
We have been around since 1987 by zigging when everyone else zags - it is a riot! Be well all -David Giancola
