  1. I speak with not as much as experience as I would like in this area, but I am curious about something. I have noticed that modern DI color graded films have a strange, "pulled-out" color palette most of the time, and that they have a sharply contrasting look to films even from the 1990's. For a slightly more convincing older look, would photochemical color timing create a more "classic" color palette than the popular method used today? Or am I pretty much spouting gibberish?
  2. I think I know what the OP is talking about. I have seen this in a lot of low budget films, sometimes it borders on severe. The beginning scenes of Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom, for example are very flickery.
  3. I haven't seen any recent films at my flea market. It seems that my flea market just happens to get a lot of people who have some films among the possessions they desire to sell. I started trying to collect them after a foolish experience where I gave up on finding out the title of a complete film print because I was too lazy to unwind the leader (which the seller insisted i do).
  4. I have recently decided to take advantage of the surprisingly large amount of merchants selling films (16 and 35mm) at my local flea market, and in the case of finding more obscure, one of a kind titles, I'd like to know, what is the cheapest telecine facility for 35mm you know of? I don't care about color correction or anything, just a simple, raw sd transfer would be sufficient.
  5. Thank you for your informative answer. I thought the negative films seemed sharper.
  6. The updated Plus-x sounds intriguing. I know that Kodak's t max stocks aren't as popular as their grainier, older brethren because despite great grain, they are just not that pretty. I know a lot of their developments for color dye efficiency (which would result in smaller grains in a color film) obviously couldn't be used for this type of product (duh), but I would figure a black and white equivalent of a vision2 film would be pretty amazing.
  7. It appears that the black and white emulsions offered by kodak for cine use are decades old and do not incorporate any modern film technology. Why doesn't kodak release an updated T-Grain/2 Electron sensitization black and white film? Would it be too expensive considering the low demand for black and white?
  8. I want a digital cinema camera that contains an instantly re -shootable piece of grainless film in front of a very fast telecine CCD, as long as we are in the science fiction realm.
  9. I would like to know how this film compares to similar negative films in terms of sharpness and grain. The typical idea is that reversal films are usually sharper and finer grained, with less latitude and greater color saturation. How would this compare, simply detail/grain wise, to a comparable negative stock, ie 5212? Kodak is very uninformative as to whether this has the same technology as the vision2 line incorporated or not.
  10. Care to post a few 2048X1556 stills?
  11. So if it was used along with the two electron sensitization, it would be like tri electron sensitization? If that's true, Kodak should do something similar. I'm sure it would be quite fascinating to see the results of such a film stock..
  12. What is this tellurium sensitization I have been hearing about, and how does it differ from two electron sensitization/etc? Is it better? Is it completely different and incomparable?
  13. I like the red but wow, the new 5219 has incredible exposure latitude.
  14. Could you direct me to information as to what was used on this telecine? (you imply its a diy)
  15. well, at 2k you can still notice if one is grainier and softer though. Also, I heard somewhere 160t was their sharpest. The f 64 d is from like, 1996 I think and at the time wasn't as sharp as the exr equivalent so I was doubting it was the sharpest today. Still a pretty good film though.
