  1. also just to let you know the best Reversal lab for Ektachrome by far in my opinion and I used spectra, pro 8, pac lab and andec in Berlin is Tony Scott's Film and Foto ltd in Ealing , London.. so save yourself the shipping from the UK to the States unless your really attached. Wes Anderson used him for the reversal stock in 'Life Aquatic' . I have never had any dirt, scratches or staines like I have with the other reversal labs.

  2. in france you can request the police to hand check the film I did this very recently.

     

    You can also get a fake sticker that says the film is inferred film which can not go through the x-ray machine. The countries I have had no luck at all with hand checks are England, Italy and Canada. Holland, France, USA, and China were ok (some after a lot of explaining). Heathrow, Manchester and Gatwick were 'no way' even if it was inferred.

     

    In the UK and most places Fed Ex x-ray everything. DHL in the UK if you go directly to the sorting office they hand check as they do not have the x-ray machines (especially in more provincial towns).

     

    I have put film through and it was fine, but the thing is its a risk, and the film that I had fogged was 100 asa.

     

    these stickers are handy http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Education/Publications/Shooting/xray.htm

  3. this is what is great about movies.. too many things are not fully under control so it will never be replicated. I say use older lenses than they used on those 82 pictures (look at Cooke SPs, Kowas or 70s Canons) Shoot on eterna 500t vivid and push it a stop for night and maybe use the 64D in day and push it a stop or the 160 vivid and push it one stop. The Ektachrome 100D pushed a stop is also a very early 80s/late 70s feel but real expensive.

    but yeah the lighting is important too.

     

    as for digital.. over light and over expose maybe.

  4. I was using the SFX 200T Kodak stock from around 2000 and that was listed as SO. It was supposed to be a good stock for green screen but was the closest neg stock I saw to Kodachrome. I don't think it was used much. Some tests for 'Down with love' exist somewhere where they tested it as a normal non special effects stock.
