Thank you. I will. It's not a shameless plug, thanks for getting it out there and letting people know.

That's not it. I'm sure that your services will be greatly appreciated by a lot of people and I hope sometime by me too. Since I dont have alot of experience with this maybe you did answer my question and I just didn't understand it. So, if that's the case, I apologize to you. Anyways, the information you posted is good information and I learned something new, I guess I was just looking for a different answer to my question that's all. Thank you for your time to answer the question and maybe I can' learn something else from you that I don't know. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment. I hope you don't think that "google" has the answer for everything other wise people wouldn't have forums like this and you wouldn't be pitching your business on here if people could just "google it". The only reason for my question being new to the craft. After reading some books and interviews with DP's who say that they take stills of locations using the same film stock that they are going to shoot on, I thought maybe the film manufacture's supplied rolls or something that people who aren't familiar wouldn't know about. So, thanks for doing all that leg work for me. I'm sure that all the information you gave will help out everyone who reads this who didn't think to "google" it.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Since I started this thread I would like to thank you very much for not being able to give me any insight into my question. I hope you get all the business you are looking for, but I guess if there's anybody out there interested in answering my question at all that would be appreciated it. If not, I guess I will just have to start looking to other resources. Thanks.

Thanks

Hello again, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to determine if the film used for still photography is the same as the film stock one would shoot for their film. IE: Taking still pictures of locations with the same film stock used for shooting the film. Would taking stills using KODAK Gold 200 for example, be the same or close to KODAK VISION2 200T. Or is all film the same? Not being able to spend an enormous amount of money to get a 1000' roll of film processed just to test it, would shooting stills be a comparable test? Thanks for the help Chris.

Hello again, I posted a question about Film Latitude earlier and I think I was a little bit confused about what I thought Film Latitude meant. Although I did get some good answers and I appreciate that, after doing some more research I found out something else on Kodak's website. I found the following information listed under the Camera Stop Curves table on the Vision 200T film stock it states: On the Characteristic-Camera Stop curve, the center point ("0") on the x-axis corresponds to a normal exposure of an 18-percent gray card in the red, green, and blue layers of this film. A white card is 2 1/3 stops higher than normal exposure. Anything more is overexposure latitude. A 3-percent black card is 2 2/3 stops below normal exposure. Anything less is underexposure latitude. My question is this, Do I have only 2 1/3 stops higher and 2 2/3 stops lower, regardless of what the F stop is before it is over or under exposed. This seems to be the problem I was trying to figure out earlier, but again, I don't think I knew what I was talking about. Any help would be great. I'm sure this is easy for most of you to understand and I would just like a little guidance. Thank you for your time.

Hello All, I'm having some trouble understanding what the latitude of film is and how to figure it out. Since I am learning this stuff on my own there are some things I just don't know. I don't understand how to read the curve and am having trouble finding any information out. This is probablly a stupid question, but as the saying goes, better to look stupid for a few minutes and ask the question, than stay stupid forever by not asking. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Thanks for your help. I believe that answers my question.

Hello, thanks to whoever reads this and may be able to give me an answer. Being new to learning cinematography I have been going over the ACM 9th edition. This may be a stupid question, but in the formual for figuring out footcandles needed to expose a certain ASA the formual is E=25 fsquared over St In working the formual it obviously works, but can anybody tell me what the 25 represents. I have looked all over and I just can seem to figure it out. Again, this may be a stupid question, but if anybody can give me an answer that would be great.
