No, there is no way to easily fix that in post, other than re-shooting. :P

 

I wouldn't give up on the camera just because you had some relatively minor loader issues with it. ACL are great work-horse cameras and once you get the hang of it (and you are almost there!) you will make it sing for you every time. Just pay attention to the sound of the camera as it is running, any changes will definitely mean trouble, so stop it and correct it and move on. Good luck!

Give up? probably not. I might as well make use of my re-cans, I should give her another run out there.... Thanks again for the advice!

Thank you all for all the great info guys! When I get the chance I will test out the ideas, however I really don't plan on using that camera again... Also, the loop did not snap back into place - the rest of my footage (last two/three shots) all had that issue. I'm glad that my editor found a way to cut around it, although those shots would really tie the scene better.

Since it is a technical issue, I'm assuming that there is no real way to reduce the pull-down effect in post... unless someone knows of a method?

Thanks again!

I'm hoping that someone could help explaining this. I shot a roll of Vision 3 500T (single perf) with an Eclair ACL from my school, and about a quarter way through the roll the camera became louder for a moment, and then quieted down again to what seemed normal. When I got my footage back from the telecine, two of my shots got all messed up (as you can see in the picture attached), however the rest of the roll was absolutely fine. Can anyone what caused this? And is there any way to reduce or eliminate this without spending too many dimes?

HELP PLEASE!
