  1. Just so that i get this straight. The idea is to either expose the film normally (5277 at 320 asa) have the negative pulled. And then print it back up to key. or as you said over expose the film by a bit (e.g. half a stop) have them pull it a stop or a stop and a half, then print it back up to key. And if I'm understanding what was done on Birth, Savides underexposed the film 2 stops, then pulled it an additional 2 stops, then printed it up to the desired level. So the idea is to have an extremely thin (underexposed) negative and make a "brighter" print from it. Is my understanding of the process correct. And thanks again, you've been a great help. Best regards, Pierre Elliott p.s. is there any way that i can see a copy of the shorts that you shot using the pulling technique. Of course I'd pay the material costs and the shipping fee. Thanks again.
  2. Hi Quenell, Thank you very much for your first hand testimony. This will serve as an excellent guide for the future. Best regards, Pierre
  3. Thanks J-Ro. I had understood that pulling was the opposite of pushing. But i couldn't figure out how it worked the context of the negative and the final print of the film . Now i understand thank you very much for your explanation and the tip. I'm assuming that you recommend finding a lab that can push or pull in half increments so that i can really get as specific a look as possible. Best regards, Pierre
  4. Hi there J-Ro, thanks for your hands on post, it was very informative. I just had a follow up question. You surmise that the Savides exposed two stops under, and then pulled the film two stops. What does "pulled the film two stops" mean? Does it mean that it was pushed/force processed? Can you please clarify? Thanks again for your time. Pierre
  5. Hi there Audiris, Thanks for your insight. When you say the that the films stock was "underexposed and printed up again", does "printed up again" mean that it was underexposed and then push processed. I just wanted to be sure that i fully understand your explanation. Thanks again for your time. Pierre
