Anyone know where I can find one of these adapters to rent? I am having no luck... Cheers!

Ah thank you, I have reached out to him so we shall find out if we have Step 1 of a very complicated process.. Cheers

Hey David, Would the ASC Clubhouse have one or have access to one? Cheers

Yeah, def the blue-green Orthographic with no antihilation back is going to be tricky.. 5222 is Panachromatic so that could work for both the Green and Red Record correct? so its really the blue record thats the first issue.. ok second cause we still need a Camera.. Could you do a special run of 5222 and just not put Red and Green sensitive crystals in and leave off the Backing.. Maybe Kodak will do a special run if I commit to a large enough Purchase.. The other issue is going to be the printing.. Cause dont you have to inject each CMY color dye for each RGB neg.. then contact each print onto a "Base Print?".. Maybe this is something the DI can come in for.. (Lets assume I have the appropriate Blue record stock) Scan each RGB record.. apply appropriate CMY to each in the DI then overlay at 33% transparency in the edit, then tweak?

Hello, Through all this Digital yammer.. I have developed this wild fuddited urge to shoot 3 Strip Technicolor.. I know there are many many many complicated factors to do this.. but lets start with the Camera.. Is there any functioning 3 strip cameras around? Cheers!

I mean three strip.. re posting.. please delete..

Ah that sounds like a sure fire way to get there! The UltraCons are definately a no go then.. What are your experiences with flashing the negative? Is that an old school technique not so available anymore? A very lab intensive process? I know Labitique had success with it in Requiem.. How might it read on Eterna 250 a warmer pastel palate?

I am looking for a more low contrast pastel image on an upcoming project.. And I am curious if any of you have any thoughts or experiences on ways to achieve this and the major differences.. UltraCon filters vs Flashing the negative vs Pull Processing vs Overexposing and process normal vs all in the DI Cheers

I am revivng this thread as I am curious if more people have used them since? Thinkin also to put them on the Red.. Cheers

Anyone have any leads or contact information? Anyone have any experience with any of these stocks? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

I'm with Victor on this one.. Great operating.. Suits the film to a T.. I cant think of anything I would change about the film.. I hope Matty gets the ASC award for it..

All are amazingly well done.. Not surprised by these nods.. My vote goes for The Kings Speech.. (fingers crossed for Black Swan and S16)

I remember a post for motion picture film loaded in still camera canisters.. Can't seem to find the info anywhere.. Any leads, sites, info (links to previous posts) would be sweet.. Cheers

yeah.. JSB has more of what I'm thinking about.. Its not a silent movie.. There is sound design and plenty of "audible" things going on.. Just no dialog.. Say a film about a mute.. Or that the first plot point.. His tongue gets ripped off.. To go with JSB's.. Two men crash a plane into the woods and get captured by the locals.. Who cut out their tongues as punishment.. Now they have to try to escape and survive but they can't talk to each other.. We could have the locals speaking dialog.. But dont have it subtitled.. The point being "no dialog" but plenty of things to see and hear.. I see the first scene.. FADE IN: EXT: JUNGLE - MORNING A horrid everlasting SCREAM SILENCE INT: JUNGLE HUT - MORNING A sweaty bruised battered and gagged man hangs by his feet from the rafters of a bamboo roof. Two large "Natives" restrain and steady him. A third and more important looking man enters his arms and hands bloodied and sastisfied at his handy work, makes his way over and squats down to touch the foreigners face, caressing it with the blood from his hands whispering into his ear. The native leans back to get a better look and SLAPS the foreigner shouting and screaming at him making gestures of flying and exploding. Silence. He shakes his finger in his face dissapointed. One of the restraining natives hands him a knife and two short pieces of wood. He caresses the foreigners face with it as he humms a tune and removes the gagging dirty cloth. The foreigner spits in his face and shouts obscenities. The native, unphased, squeezes the foregners face and shoves a piece of the wood into his mouth and prys it open and puts it in place followed by the other. The native reaches into the screaming mouth and pulls out and severs his tongue. Blood pouring onto the floor. A horrid everlasting SCREAM. SILENCE.

forgive me if my post wasn't clear.. I'm refering to paintng in specific.. "stealing" is different from inspiriation.. A direct copy to sereve no other purpose but to look like is stealing.. Inspiration is something that you see and gravitate towards.. Something that inspires your voice to come out.. There are peopele who make their career out of "stealing".. But that persons work is not inspiring.. To be inspired by say Degas.. A personal favorite.. Molds both my view of the world and his.. This is my question.. Whose work inspires you to create.. Whose work do you find inspires other people to create.. Because as we all now.. Photography is 150 years old.. Painting is much much older..

I am interested to find out who most inspires your personal style, or who you find yourself being asked to draw from the most?

I worked on a project where they used chamomile tea.. there was alot of pot smoking in that movie.. the sets always smelled so wonderful and the crew was always calm and happy.. wait.. maybe it wasnt chamomile at all... :blink: hahaa j/k

Any thoughts on a truly MOS feature... 90-120 with no dialog at all.. or.. we could reinstate the dialog cards from the Silent Era? right? guys? :blink:

Ok.. its the truth.. I was sworn to secrecy by the film gods... but im spillin it... The real true best way to become a Cinematographer... besides "being" a Cinematographer... *cue trumpets* Boom Operating Yup thats it.. name one other crew member on set that needs to know and coordinate all the technical aspects of all departments on set, save, the Cinematographer.. Boom Op.. everything related to lighting, camera, grip, sound, wardrobe, hair, makeup, actors, electricity, space, time... a Boom Op needs to know it all just to place that little microphone in the ideal location.. not to mention its on a 15' pole.. that and you are working side by side with the Cinematographer watching him light the set and working around it to place your mic and its not awkward to ask questions especially when its just you two on set.. toss in a little friendly knowledgeable lighting banter.. eventually you build repore... you can now pick his/her brain anytime even get their email.. perfect.. the downside.. your in everybody's way.. everything that goes wrong is your fault.. nobody cares about sound.. you have to memorize as much dialog as the actors.. ACs get "50 takes" to get it right, Boom Ops get yelled at if the "boom is in the shot" once.. last but not least, its really really really really really hard to do well.. and really really really really easy to do badly.. its pretty much the worst job ever.. but totally worth it.. Ok.. Im bitter.. but Im a Cinematographer because of it..

I do know that Quentin Tarantino wrote directed and DP'd Death Proof.. I have personally done it.. I had great fun.. kinda felt like a true film maker.. I had control over EVERYTHING!!! the downside is it is inefficient.. but when it turns out good.. oh so rewarding!! I write all the time.. I have 20ish screenplays stuffed in the depths of the comp.. It makes total sense to me.. I know what words strike beautiful images in me and therefore I write them.. So I guess my screenplays are very Cinematographycentric.. very little dialog, tons of pretty pictures... the ultimate film!!!

I think its all a numbers game.. how many women in your entire life have you ever chatted with about film? How many black people? Its the same in business.. how many failed attempts does there need to be to have 1 CEO of a major company? its like a lottery shoot, a million to one.. the more women that become business majors the more likely there is to be a female CEO.. same as in film.. if more and more women do it.. more and more will become successful.. I dont think there is any particular reason why.. It just isnt inherently a part of their genetic make up (a contradictory statement?).. and when it is.. WOW.. nothing but genius comes from them.. Film is a white male dominated field because it appeals to "us" more.. just as in business, rock music, golf, bowling, hockey, etc..

A simple phone call with a polite request will convince anyone to do almost anything.. "I was curious if _______ for ____ time" insert charming personality and you have them asking what they can do for you to help and if you'd like more coffee.. hell you might even get.. "ive got this nephew who like movies.. blah blah" I just got permission to shoot IN a POLICE STATION, in a REAL cell with REAL Police Officers with REAL guns that will REALLY kill you.. "as long as you dont show anything that says XXX Police Station" is all they asked... didnt ask for a single penny. I have no permits. If I show up with some espresso and croissants, I bet I can have run of that place whenever I need it. People dont hate Indie film makers.. they hate Indie film makers that think they can do what ever they want with no regard for people and rules.. A few years ago I even scheduled the shutdown of a street in Downtown Seattle.. Me my 3 man crew and an actor.. all I did was ask [after a little research to find who].. I didnt end up needing to, but still had the permission..

you're right.. but gun fire sounds are.. and people pretty much always call the police.. good luck though.. start with the name "Chris Mosio" he is a Seattle local.. you prolly cant afford him but he will send you in the right direction...

apparently you cannot edit your posts.. wierd.. anyway.. by 90% Interior i really mean.. "70% Interior 20%Exterior and 10%"In the car" as for conditions.. the script doesnt call for anything specific.. but we are in Washington State, 'nough said... "
