Actually, you don't have to take the zoom off. Zoom all the way in, open the aperture all the way and you can 'see' down the lens with a flashlight if the gate is clean or not.

kev, do you know anyone in film school right now? They might be able to 'check out' a S16 SR2 or something or maybe R16.

The problem is not the stock cost. Student rates are about $100 a roll for Fuji and Kodak.
The problem is telecine. That is the single most expensive thing.

I thought you meant the emulsion, which it should have written on it anyway.
-
Also useful if you have more than 1 stock on a shoot as each stock gets it's own number.
And Color! Each stock gets it's own color. Which saves loads of time when working with multiple stocks. With a glance I know whether 5219 or 5205 is in a mag rather than having to look closely at the mag to see which stock number is written on it.
Basically as the loader, you do whatever the 1st tells you even if you don't think it's necessary. So if they like that or it makes them more comfortable, do it. Also, you definitely want to tape(with corresponding color) the latch(es) on the door(s) of the mag.
I've had DP's return mags to the loader because they weren't taped. Like already mentioned here, it's a personal preference on some camera and a must on others. Personally, I like tape on the mags, it gives a cleat message of what is in the mag and that it is definitely safe.

Are they all homemade or is there a company that makes 'em? I've seen ones for video cams on filmtools.
-
we may be getting off topic but,
why? and what are the differences in softness? Never used a net or had a DP that used 'em.
edit: and Daniel, I can't believe you've seen Waxwork! One of my all time favorite movies!

adrian, couldn't you try different diffusion filters to get a little closer, if you're using a digital origination?
-
film stocks are only half the equation. lenses, are the other.
look into a program called MagicBullet for 'filmic' effects on video.

wow,
Not a reduser user here, but a look and boy oh boy...
I wonder if that Mr Jannard fella thinks having the type of retard that posts there (about, I dunno %30 of them ?? at least ??) is good for business.
(... and yes, I don't rate any forum especially immune, but far out - ya know ?)
:huh:
They are all 'retards' that buy or use HIS camera. I'm sure he doesn't give a hoot if they are idiots or butts.
and side note:
does the Alexa rent higher than a RED MX right now? And if it does, would the Alexa rent lower than an EPIC?

I think you have to let that go. It is just the way the english do it. perhaps canada as well. just have fun in learning how others work. The english also call a 1k fresnel a pup, or bounce board is called poly. In the post house we call them colorists and they call them graders. It's all the same.
even jobs are different. the electricians in the UK handle what our grips would do and their grips are really just camera support grips.
even in the US there are differences between east and west coast. but the job always gets done.

I quite like sparks though. ;)

so cinema quality filters are referred to without the 0 in front and 'lesser' filters do have the 0?
on page 457 of "Lighting for TV and Film"
they refer to the ND types with a 0 in front.
Is there something I am missing?
all in all the decimal is in the same place so it does not matter either way...right...
Standard cinema-style ND comes in .3 .6 .9 1.2 etc. In .3 increments. It is technically ND 0.3. Some AC's and DP's will just say ND3 ND.3 or N 3 for brevity. ND 0.8 is not a standard.
-
Is it just me or does DOP grate on anyone else? DP is shorter so why the need for the O.
-
actually it was a typo. i did mean 0.8 which does not exist in cinema quality filters. i'm guessing it's a video filter.
-
sorry I just need to know this : 35mm 4 perf 120 mts is aprox 4min 20 secs.. ,
35 mm 3 perf 120 mts , how much time is? could be 5 min 30 sec? do you know if there is a table?
At 24fps 5 minutes 49 seconds.

They make nd's in .08??

Jeez, I would have thought this was a much more interesting announcement!
(Peter Jackson's The Hobbit is to be shot in two parts in NZ in 3-D using 30 Epics, starting early next year)
Nyaa Nyaa!! Beat you to it Emanuel!
"The Hobbit" is Jim Jannard's "favourite book"?! :blink:

you could just call Fletcher and ask them....

In a darkroom, after I thread the film through and put the roll onto the coreholder, I'd pull out like 5-6 feet and it would engage the second click. In a bag you do not have enough room to pull out that much film. So I hold the film so it does not move and rotate the plate clockwise until I hear the second click.

I've had pCam on the iPhone since it came out and I love it. From the previews in the app store, pCam looks like it does WAY more than Toland.

When did I ever say anything like this? I do however recall somebody saying that if you shoot your film on DSLR the entire film would cost $4.
How many times do I have to tell you I was joking?????
Here is my original post:
or you could shoot on 7D, that'd bring your costs to like $4. :P
Here is your asinine comment responding to me more than a month later trying to start poop:
Yeah, and it will look like it cost $4.
Here is me telling you I was joking:
Not really. Honestly I was joking, hence the smiley.
Any questions?

Checking The Gate

Also remember to be liberal with the canned air when changing mags to reduce the possibility of leaving hairs in the gate. Rolling out increases the chances of leaving film chips or hairs in the gate/movement.
Also, there's no such thing as a stupid question. ;)
