What's the "technicolor upgrade"?

I'd like to hear what folks have to say about this. So far I've had better luck shooting in b&w, when it comes to video. I'm much more experienced as a still photographer, and often shoot stills with the 5DMII in RAW, and get great results converting to grayscale. But when shooting video, I haven't had good luck getting really nice looking b&w if I shoot in color and then desaturate. That said, I'm much better at Lightroom and Photoshop than I am at color grading video. I wish I could shoot RAW video with the 5D.

I'm not familiar with the 7D, but I have a 5DMII, and as I recall 1/50th is what many people recommend for video shooting. You might try one of these forums to get suggestions for ideal 7D settings: http://www.cinema5d.com/viewforum.php?f=64...4ddfe08e625d218 http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eos-7d-hd/ If the video doesn't appear smooth, it might be that your shutter speed is too fast. As far as output format, that depends on where the video will be seen; Web? TV? Projected? Let us know. In addition to using a polarizing filter on the lens, you could (the problem is too much light, right?): use polarizing or ND gels on your lights dim the modeling lights, or use lower wattage bulbs if they're not dimmable use (low level) available/ambient light (streetlights, practicals, flashlights, etc) shoot at night make sure you're ISO is set low (100)

Dwayne's processes Kodachrome: http://www.dwaynesphoto.com/newsite2006/mo...kodachrome.html I don't think they do film to digital transfers, but there are other places that do, including http://www.pro8mm.com. If you Google "super 8 telecine" or "super 8 transfer" you'll find other places as well. If you search for your Bolex model at ebay and then check "completed items" you can see what people have been paying.

Hi folks: Does anyone know the shutter angle of the Nizo S40? I found shutter angles of other Nizo models, but not this one.
