Hello, I shot a 16mm short film yesterday on Double X negative film (ISO 250) and my AC used the EV mode on the light meter by mistake. We were getting an 11 most of the day (which was cloudy and even), which seems to correspond to a 5.6 F stop on our light meter (at a constant shutter speed). Do you think I could save the footage by pushing the film 2 stops or would it be best to sit in on the telecine? thank you! Gabrielle

Hi, I'm interested in finding out what film stock was used for Lynne Ramsay's short "Gasman" and her feature "Ratcatcher". I'm directing a 10 minute short in super 16 and want to find out how to get a desaturated look (pastel colors) closer to European films...why does French film (Bruno Dumont's films, Dardenne brothers etc.) for example look so different (desaturated) than American indie film? How important is the choice of film stock? or is most of it done in the transfer? thanks!
