  1. Hi, I was wondering about the possibilities of remounting, recollimating or adapting old M42 lenses to fit a PL mount for use on an Arri. Is it possible? in fact i did stumble over a few old lenses with very unique optical qualities like rendition of colours, soft contrast (yet tack sharp), coma etc.. I would like to know, if it is possible to do the above, and to what extent it is practical. Thanks in Advance
  2. Thenks David, The shoot is over. Thanks to all your suggestions. I always overexposed a minimum of 1/2 stop throughout and shot a grey card for each roll with the same settings, also worked on t2.8 for all scenes . The director wanted to work without a shotlist, it was a different experience, responding intuitively to the situation. Waiting for the rushes.
  3. actually we are shooting with the SRII, i also have a set of Zeiss Superspeeds[9.5mm to 50mm] at my disposal. I find it to be a pretty stable camera.
  4. Thanks for all your feedback s. In fact we have a few important night shots on a jetty without any practicals, and the Sydney harbor bridge in the background. So my natural choice was the 5219, considering the minimal lighting kit we have. ( a blondie, a few redheads, and a kino bank).
  5. Hi all, Im in the planning of a project on S16. What can i do to get the best out of the medium? What are the precautions and techniques i can employ to get less grain. It is a DVD only project. Any tips on getting better results in the telecine are welcome. The scenes are mainly, exterior night and interior day. Im planning to use Kodak 200T for the interiors, and the new Vision 3 for the exteriors. Thanks in advance...
  6. Thank you for all your prompt replies. It is really helping me in the planning process.
  7. Thanks Hal, Have very basic light power ( a few blondies , redheads and arri 300's) i dont think it is a wise idea to shoot such a slow speed film.
  8. Hi Andrew, We will be shooting on super16. 6000$ is the budget available for cinematography. It will be a 10 min short with a 4:1 shooting ratio.(roughly)
  9. Hi all, Im a student DOP working on a script which requires a 1960's look for a few interior scenes. Can you please advice me on my options on a student budget rounding off at 6000$? My initial thoughts were about getting most of the colors in production design, and telecine from a print made on a high saturation stock unlike other scenes which will be captured directly from the negative, to mark a difference in looks. The filmstock will be Kodak Vision 3 500T Please drop in your suggestions and thoughts. Cheers
