John Holland

Think " Gladiator" is pretty ok film , just a shame it was shot S-35 , the film is a loose remake of " The Fall of the Rome Empire , that was shot in Ultra Panavision 70 . Must agree "Braveheart" is a real stinker . john holland .

Hi , No the fire was on "Legend" it burned down the huge 007 stage at Pinewood , no fires on "Alien " john holland.

Stephen dont understand why you bother to reply to posts like this one . john.

Yes afraid so , as said in earlier post , as the subject was mostly backlit should have exposed for the shadows , shouldnt worry about overexposure when shooting colour neg . In fact i always overexpose by about 1 stop . john holland.

Sorry apart from follow spot where was the lighting ? johnholland .

What Rupert Murdoch , the man that owns Fox news who got Bush into power and Blair via The Sun over here, really think you should be silent for a while , as Brain said BORING. john holland . Sorry Brian .

Hi but further to my earlier post , dont care what you native language is , but nothing makes any sense , on here , and sure not going to waste time looking at other sites to find [who you are ] dont give a fu** sorry .john holland.

I dont know what the hell you are talking about , its not readable and makes no sense, and i have tried . john holland.

Yes think so . plus Space 1999, UFO, Thunderbirds , Captain Scarlett, etc, Randal and Hopkirk , The Persuaders , UFO . Danger Man , theres more ,but cant think at the moment . john holland.

Really , why are you saying that ? Eye Test required ? john holland .

Sorry, but ,The Professionals was 16mm , Quatermass , dont remember a remake of that ,when was that ? john holland.

Yep, no doubt about it ,would have been neg , prob. 7247 . 100asa . john holland.

All the earlier tv films above were shot on 100asa 7254 ecn1. later ones super 16 and newer stocks . nothing on 35 mm . i like the older gritty look of The Sweeney and Minder . Danger UXB . Reversal only ever used on news in this country . john holland .

Hi no it doesnt , it desaturates colour , to increase , over expose and pull development . john holland .

sorry .but just rubbish in all departments . john holland .

Its a shame you have lost all that time being loyal to kodak , you have been missing out . john holland .

Re. Doug Milsome, and the lighting , think you will find same thing happened with John Alcott , neither of these guys have produced anything as good as when they were working Kubrick , { he does the lighting } .Same thing with Eyes Wide Shut ,and Larry Smith . john holland ,london.

Hit it on the head Leo strange folks who spend their lives in front of computer screens creating CGI , dont like or understand , anamorphics , their loss , but ours as well . john holland.

It was shot Panavision anormorpic, sounds like bad projection to me . john holland

hi dont know about Coleman , brand , but think you will find they will give a greenish light . john holland ,london .

When i started in this industry age 17 in a small documentry company in London , they shot everything on a 25 asa stock 7255 i think ,that changed to 7252 still 25 asa, printed onto a Kodachrome stock , you had to light it totally flat and i mean really flat to get a decent print . Remember shooting first medical film , need to stop down to about f4 for a bit of depth of field . Had to use so much light the blood in the wound started steaming , not nice kept having to kill lights to let everthing cool down yuk . It was wonderful when we switched to E/colour 7254 , luxury . never have shot any reversal since ,never want to again but i do know how to light for it , so Hd, is right up my street . john holland , london .

Hi , dont push it , you will fine . sort out in post . john holland . london .

hi everyone , i have never used any S 8 Ektachrome , hated 16mm years ago , is there a Fuji stock ? when i did use tranny film [stills] be it 35mm or 120 , always used Fuji . john holland , london.

David , bit unfair , that comment , just have been let down by Kodak over the years , so not a great supporter , miss Agfa . john holland
