A lovely condition Arri ST-B 16mm camera kit with 2 lenses, 400ft magazines, two motors, matte box and brand new battery and charger. Picture This is a late model Arri ST with the brighter, better viewfinder. The camera has the legendary Arri pin register film movement, so that you can be sure that film registration while shooting is rock steady. The camera body has two Arri standard lens ports and one Arri bayonet lens port, so it is compatible with later generation lenses. All items have been fully serviced and tested. The camera is running smoothly with both motors and the magazines are running perfectly. The 25fps fixed speed motor has been checked against a strobe and it is bang on. The lenses are clean and there are no scratches, mould or fungus on the glass. The full kit is as follows. 1 x Arriflex ST-B 16mm camera body 1x 12-120mm T2 Zoom Lens (in perfect condition nothing on the glass) 1x 17mm T2 Prime Lens (in great condition nothing on the glass) 2x 400ft Mags + 1x Arri Jacket 1 x Magazine torque motor 1 x Transistorised 25fps fixed speed motor 2x New Batteries + Charger Mains Adaptor Matte Box (old school bellows) 1 x Rubber eyecup 3 x Front lens caps Cores, bobbins and spool as necessary Instructions from 2 different archives 600ft Kodak B+W Film (from storage in fridge) Kodak Grey Card (worth £48) 1x Flight Cases (to put it all in) Overall the kit is in great condition. The camera itself is cosmetically nice and clean. The lenses are also in great condition, the focus and iris movements are smooth and accurate. There are no holes or pinpricks in the bellows matte box. The viewfinder is bright and clear and shows 16mm markings with TV safe and crosshair in the centre. my first test reel 10min short shot on the camera surf short, partly shot on the camera £900 UK only Local Pick-up/Buyer Arranged Courier (http://www.interparcel.com/) only

Hello all, I know we are talking about DI and Telecine here, However, i have a question regarding taking HD out to 16mm film print for projection. I want to go down the Fuji film route for the vivid colour. I havent shot any Fuji stock as i can get hold of cheep Kodak film and the only films i have shot required the kodak grade of stock. anyway, i have shot an art-house film in full 1080 and i am looking to go out to a stock that can really hold the vivid colour grade. Anybody have any opinions or examples (youtube/vimeo/video) that i can have a look at and compare?! would really help me out. Cheers Kristian Butler www.kristianbutler.com

Is something being lost with the emphasis on digital film production? My argument is that there should not be a case of ‘is film going to die off?’ and ‘digital is the future!’. Instead, we should be thinking more along the lines of: is the world of motion picture production ready for digital technology? Celluloid film holds a physical connection to the process of making a motion picture due to the fact it has ‘real’ elements. The lack of these tangible elements in the digital process causes more problems than initially thought. Archiving motion pictures is extremely important to the development of cultured societies around the globe. However, the digital ‘revolution’ may well be the end of many motion pictures before their life has begun after theatrical release. This paper explores celluloid film and digital production through standing theories, recent journal entries and test report data. Broken down into three chapters, the first asks if the motion picture industry is ready for digital technology. The second takes the case study of Steven Soderbergh to show how the medium a motion picture is shot on should be considered as a means to an end, and not one of a commercial benefit. The final chapter explores reasons towards why film is currently the only logical medium for archiving. To download the paper - www.kristianbutler.com or www.platinumdaughter.com
