Hello ppl , I was just looking out for some websites where i can update myself about the latest Lens & Light Equipments ... I follow up with a few websites ...

I'd like to thank everybody contributing their time and knowledge ...] Cheers Subhash

Thanks a lot james ... Infact i messed up the question ... Its about the Ground Glass i wanted to ask rather than the Lens ... Can u tell the different aspects that can affect the quality of the image i.e Sharpness , Saturation etc ... I know that bad lenses , Old Stock , Over-Exposure etc r some aspects that can reduce the quality !! I'm working for a entire different look for a project ... Its jus that i lack the experience !!! cheers subhash

I'd like to know if there would be any quality loss in images wen a movie shot wit anamorphic lenses and projected using a 35mm spherical lenses .. Compared to that of a movie shot wit 35mm spherical lenses and projected with the same ... cheers subhash

Thanks a lot for all the replies friends ... I sure learnt a lot from all ur posts ... And I'm sorry that i couldnt reply immediately ... cheers !! subhash

its a very common problem here in india Jonathan ... most of the Kinoflo's r not properly balanced ... As Robert said , aging can b the main problem .. most of the light's here r old ... being students v cant demand for properly balanced ones ...

Thanks a lot for the information robert ... I've considered a few of the problems that u ve mentioned .. well now i'll atleast know the different options where the problem can start .. the more CC Gels i use the lesser becomes the intensity ... Vr given only minimum lights for our shoots .. again that becomes a problem ..

now thats some information i didnt know ... using a junk dvd to check the colour temp .. i'll ve to try it out ... usefull info ...thanks a lot .. i understood the mercury atom concept ... but i ve also noticed a blue-voiletish tint in a few HMI's ...is it because of the ballast or the current supply .. I thought its basically cause of the current supply .. and i also want to know the fact behind y a HMI starts of voiletish then turns green and then in turn ultimately becomes pure white ( daylight ) ...

I recently used a Tungsten Kinoflow for my shoot .. unfortunately there was a mild green tint in it which i couldnt notice wit my naked eye ... I didnt ve a colour temperature meter wit me either to check before i shot ... Is it adviceable to use a minus green in any case .... Cause most of the kinloflows (Daylight & Tungsten) i ve used ve a green tint in it !!! First of all y do v get the green tint ?? Y not a blue tint or a red tint ?? (i know this question is kinda stupid but i'd like to know ) :rolleyes: how do i avoid this situation without a colour temperature meter ???

Thanks a lot for the information Mr.Jonathan Bowerbank ... I just visited the website ... the programme sounds intresting ... Will do furthur research ... thanks a ton ... cheers subhash

Hello Fellow Film-Maker's , This is my first post in this Forum ... So pls bear with my mistakes .. :rolleyes: I'm subhash from India ... I've just completed a Diploma in Film-making ... Now that i finished this course i'm planning to do another course which would take things furthur i.e Advanced Training in Cinematography ... I've worked with SR 1 , SR 2 , Aaton (16mm) , ARRI 435 , ARRI 3c , ARRI 2c (35mm) , ARRI BL 3 ... and also with SONY DSR , SONY DV , PANASONIC P2 ... I'm also trained in Avid Xpress Pro ... I'm basically lookin at a course which would train me intensly in the Practical Cinematography (Lensing , Use of Spaces , Composition etc ) & lighting dept ... Since i'm already from a film school , I'm looking at another film school which can teach me more than what i've learned in the former ... I dont want to b stuck up wit another course which start's off from the basics of Cinematography ... And also I'm lookin at a Film School which would train me completely on Film ... I'm ready to travel to any part of the world to do a specialisation course,provided its the best ... I dont want to end up cribbing after joining the course and that's why i'm here ... I know all my friends here would give me the best option's from your experiences ... I m looking forward to ur responses ... any kind of advice regarding my next move is also most welcome ... Thank you for patiently reading this mail ... Now that you've read this mail,its compulsory that u reply ;) subhash subhash.loyolite@gmail.com
