Thanks for the reply, I got two cans for almost free and now I'm thinking of doing it Reversal and develop it in Germany, maybe that is the "Safest" choice... Do you have any examples of films or sequences shot in reversal film with the E6 process? Joaquin

Hi everyone, i'm a film student in Poland, I've been shooting all the last year with black and white negative and now it's the time for me to shoot in color negative, I am trying to find the correct look for my pictures and tried a lot of tests in most of the negatives that you can get easily in poland, none of them get the look that I want and I thought of shooting with ektachrome 100D and making a cross process. Unfortunately I realized this quite late and I dont have the time to make the proper tests, so I will tell u something about the story and my questions. The story is about a woman that tries to escape her town and accidentally kills her husband, this happens the day of a wedding and everyone is dressed in traditional polish dresses that are full of flowers and colors. The whole action happens inside a the woods, the trees are white and snow is sticking on them and the floor of course is only snow, the idea is to make her to be the only colour accent in the movie. The coloured flowers and the blood. I've shot a lot of cross in the last years and now but never under full control of it and I am wondering how to control it, if I should be extremely concerned about all the exposure details in the shot (and always have them exposed on a certain range, for example like taking care of not having really hot highlights in the picture) or if I can be more open about this effects. Maybe you also have a recomendation into achieving good color control, like overexposing always and bring it down in the positive... I dont know, any kind of tip would be great. thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I study at the polish film school and next month we have to do our second film shot with the kodak 5222 35mm negative. I was not satisfied with the results of the last short film, since the developing was extremely contrasty and the range of grays was very small. After doing some tests in the lab I realized that their "standard" gradient for b/w is 70 which is very very contrasty, I want to try developing at 55 or maybe 50 to get a big range of gray tones. The questions are the following: 1-How can I calculate the exposure relation with this pulling process? How much should I overexpose and is there a way to find out? Or it just depends on the tests of the lab? 2- Someone told me that I can print this stock in color positive and do bleach bypass to get a very big range of grays in the negative plus dark blacks and real whites in the positive. Has anybody tried this? Thanks for any information you can share! Joaquín

Thank you all!

Hey man, you are so helpful... I've been seeing "I am cuba" and I'm amazed by the cinematography, I want to get this rich images and maybe instead of saying things like Would you want to make an apple pie with pears ? you could give a bit of your experience with 5222 don't you think? Or if you know where to get infrared stock...

Hi everyone, Im a cinematography student at the polish national film school, this year I am making two shorts on 5222 b/w this year and I wish to achieve a similar look to infrared film stock. If this works for the first one I can maybe get a change to an infrared stock for the second one but I dont know if its possible to buy this... I would really appreciate if you could share your experience achieving this look. thanks!! Joaquin del Paso
