    Light Meter

    in Lighting for Film & Video

    Posted

    If you are shooting at 24 fps with a 180 degree shutter, your shutter speed is 1/48th per frame, so you don't necessarily need a cine meter, you can use a still camera meter that inputs ASA and shutter speed and gives you an f-stop. Most still camera meters have a 1/50th shutter speed setting for cine work (close enough to 1/48th for exposing a shot), though sometimes you have to scroll way past the 1 sec, 2 sec, etc. marks before you find 1/50th.

     

    The question is whether you want a spot meter (reflected readings) or an incident meter, or a combo meter. A basic incident meter would be cheapest.

     

    I have two incident meters now, though for a long time I did everything with a basic Minolta, an older version of the Auto Meter V F you see here:

    I used my Nikon still camera as a pseudo reflected meter when necessary, until I eventually sprung for a Minolta digital spot meter, which I still hardly use (I'm used to using an incident meter.)

     

    Then figuring I should get a new meter so I had a spare, I got the basic Spectra Cine IV-A Meter:

    Some people like the Sekonic combo (spot and incident) meters:

    Since I already owned a separate spot meter, it didn't seem worth the extra money to get a combo meter, but if you're just starting out and don't own any meters, and have the money, you might go for it.

     

     

    Mr Mullen,

    I am currently seeking advice.

     

    Can a full feature film be shot on an Arriflex IIC? Will the look of the film be good enough for the big screen?

     

     

    Thank You!

    Arriflex II B Help

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Please help. I have 35mm Arriflex 2 b with a 24fps constant speed motor that runs at 24 perfectly... until I load the film then it drops down to about 15fps. Is it the magazine? The way I loaded the film? or the battery belt pack? Should I try and run the magazine in the camera alone before loading film to check speed? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you - Diego
