  1. Chris I think i'm getting it now. Your last comments about the eveness that par doesnt provide were cool. Any more observations there? Do Par's perform better on windows rather than pretty faces?Great info!! Going to stop saying normal hmi......just hmi and hmi par? QD
  2. Thanks for your quick reply. Im still not sure, but what i've understood that the normal hmi uses a fresenel lens and had a wider spread. The hmi uses a par bulb but has external lenses that control the beam of light ( like you said ). So lets take a 4K normal and a 4k hmi par. The differences- lamphead different, voltage different, lamp type different. Yes most fixtures used are par like you said. But you would go with the normal hmi if you needed less punch? Your right about the imagination bit. Hope you will add more to this. Thanks QD
  3. Hi Whats the difference between a hmi and a hmi par? can anyone link me to documents that will explain this. What different scenes could both these light s be used in? Thanks Q D
  4. Hi Can anyone tell me the difference between all the filters. How much light do you loose? What is the type of diffussion you get from them? If im using 216 on a wide. what would i use for a cu? Thanks in advance

  6. Hi Is there a formula to tell you how many fc you will get from a fixture at a certain distance? Ive read up on the Inverse square law, and i know that if you chose your stop for a certain asa, you have the fc info on the can. But suppose i was short of people to move lights around and i wanted to get the lights in the right position ... is there a formula to tell me that if i put a 10k 20 ft from a subject...i will get x fc??? Thanks
  7. Hi Im looking out for the lightmeters pdf that was is supposed to be on the sekonic website (http://www.sekonic.com/Cinematographer_booklet.pdf). It doesnt seem to be there anymore. I could buy it on amazon.com but im saving up for my meter!! Could anyone tell me where i could get the pdf??? Thanks
  8. Thanks Richard Im going to take some time and have a look at your site and all the links there.
  9. Hi I have read that all lights used in motion pictures need a CRI of > 90. What are the other things that you need to look into when trying out new lighting fixtures? Im talking about the cheap ones that you can buy at a hardware store. They all have some info on the label. Some of them have things like CRI and watts/ lumen. What else should i be lookin out for? Thanks
  10. Hi Ive been reading up on the Kodak products guide. I noticed that 16 mm color neg films have both one edge and two edge perforations. 35 mm does not.What is the difference? How does this relate to 4 perf and 3 perf? Ive read on arri.com that 3 perf is more economical. What does the movement of a camera have to do with all this? From what ive read in the ac manual, all the 35 mm cameras are dual registration. The only difference is in the pull down claws ( 1, 2 or 3). what about 16mm? How do i change from 3 perf to 4 perf in camera? trying to make sense of this....Hope the questions have been put forward properly... Thanks
  11. Thanks!!!!!!! I think im getting a hang of this now...i really need to get my hands on the camera assistants manual!! Thanks Again Laurent
  12. Hi I am confused about f stop scales and how to set your stop on the barrel. How do you understand the math for 1/2, 1/3, 1/10 stops ( on an analog and digital meter)? How do you set the stop on the lens after the measurements have been made? So far ive been rounding things off. I want to start to get more accurate. Also, what is the correct way to communicate the readings? Could someone take the time to explain this? Thanks
