ah thats a good tipp, thank you! i will check it out !

why do you mean "risk your negative" ? also if its a proffessional projector? i dont know anything about HD, i just tried to get some information on wikipedia.. but its to hard, i dont even know what i have to look at :) but i guess i will need to check, either to put up the framerate of the projector on 25, or to set down the framerate of the cameras on 24...

im sorry for this newbie question, but how does this table work with digitalising ? i have the problem that (even though i have a proffessional cinema projector) i cant film it with HD because the step from 24frames (projector) and the 25frames (HDcamera) make the picture flicker ? gr.rF

weird, but i will check it today again... anyway you think it would be a problem (flickering) to film it ? 25-24-25 ?

sh**, so it could really get a problem for me :/

no, our 16mm projector runs on 24 frames, im 100 percent sure, the only thing is that this is also the only reason for me to step over to 16mm because the filmstocks and development is already far enough money for me to spend, i guess the colors shouldnt change that much, and i heard that also a lot of companies around vienna do the "scanning" just like projecting and filming... so i figgured out i could do that on my own... how much would it cost about at listo ? and do you know anything about jonas film ? thank you (again) gr.rF

hello, i wanted to ask about digitalising the film via screening it on screen (as im working in a cinema) and recording it with a HD camera, the problem i have got is that the projector in the cinema runs with 24frames but (as i know) the HDcameras run only on 25frames (as im from austria) i thought that if my 16mm camera runs on 25 frames, i project on 24 frames and record again on 25 frames it shouldnt make any speed difference, but i heard that the difference between 25 and 24 is to small so i should have the picture flickering... does anybody know if it would make this problem, and if how could i prevent it ? thank you gr.rF ps.: i dont owe a 16mm camera yet, and i never had one before, im quite "thrown into the cold water" and its hard for me to solve SO MANY questions just by reading.. so if anyone has different tipps or tricks beside this question i would be really happy !

ok great thank you very much ! of course i was already on the arri16s.com :) its just so hard to go through everything in english.. its so much information.. and then it gets quite tough..

hello again ! i wanted to ask whats the major difference between the Arri ST(B) and the Arri M(B) ? and how would it effect on the price ? and again the question with the SN, how high does it need to be that i can still get it serviced by arri (in my case in munich), if anyone knows for ST (one i have got with the number 17254) and M (with the SN M464) thank you very much for help ! gr.rF

thank you very much !

thank you very much ! do you maybe know somewhere like a dictionary for filmexpressions? not that i have to bother this forum to much with things like this :) and how does it work to take out the not used filmmaterial ? isnt it supposed to not get any light on it ? do you need to change it in a redroom ? also for putting it in again ? gr.rF

hello ! and greetings from (at the moment) topkino ;) im on the "angewandte" so its art.. i dont need to "know" a lot for shooting myself .. as i dont have to hold on a concept someone else wrote.. and in this case i have another question as a newbie.. what is a DP ? i am sorry for those (i guess for you) naiv questions :) gr.rrrrF

hello there ! this is my first post in this forum.. and as i saw, its a really nice and helpful one! fast about myself: i am an art student in vienna (austria) and im working partly as a movie screener in a small independent movie cinema (at the moment its just playing "ma mere" and "ten minutes older") now .. i made some videos with some canon cam before.. but i wanna change to 16mm as i figured out i will buy an arri ST from ebay in the US .. europe or germany are just far not enough cams and if so more expensive.. my questions: what means "short ends" ? are those short moviematerial parts for test shots ? how much would you pay for 500ft ? mattebox, does it matter what kind of mattebox or are all fabricates for arri ok ? and do i really need one? in your experience of film, is a zoom objective important ? is it quite easy to zoom and focus in the same time ? and i think the last questions is.. how about the SN .. from what number onm can i still get it serviced from arri (in my case the seat in munich) and could you give me any advice what i should be really aware of or what i would really need in my kit ? i thank you A LOT! and im happy that i found this forum gr.rrrF
