  1. I have an operational Photo-Sonics 4B camera that I use an year ago for an upcoming big feature ? And also few 16 Photosonics ( one that have an Ultramax format ). For more infos www.lositointernationalfilms.com or https://ymcinema.com/2023/09/27/meet-the-photo-sonics-actionmaster-ultramax-high-speed-500-fps-film-camera/ https://www.instagram.com/photosonicsguru?igsh=ZHM5MTU1cG41ZjVs&utm_source=qr Thanks! Max
  2. Very interesting Mark. Did you work at Photo-sonics? Yes rotary high speed camera are not stable, but they are the only option above some speeds.. The Nac E10 it's an amazing camera! I shot once with it. Yes, Nolan like to shoot "in camera effects" . So the only way is to shoot an explosion for real ?
  3. Hi All, I just saw this article and maybe someone it's interested ? Nolan always surprise me.. I can't wait to see the slowmotion explosion effects. Happy HHolidays! Max https://nofilmschool.com/high-frame-rate-camera-on-oppenheimer
  4. I think that the answer here is that the films workflow is more slow then the phantom . You have to develop the film, scanner it and then transfer on a drive. With the phantom you just download the footage from the cinemag and they are ready to be color corrected. So it's definitely more fast. Also the take you can have with the digital camera are more because you are not related to the purchase of the film. You just need a big drive. With the 4B you can get one take at 2000 fps on a 1000 ft film roll. Imagine how many $$$$ you need for a feature... Only big time directors with big budget move can afford it..
  5. You're welcome Jonathan! the 4E is a different camera and don't require the load of the film on metal cores. So I believe it's quicker the load of the film into the magazine. But since it's a pin registered camera , the loading of the mag into the camera was more critical.. As Mark said below, the time of loading the camera is very subjective depending to the assistant skills and also you want to be sure to clean everything well before running the camera again.. The 4E had a lot of work into oiling the pin registered mechanism.. so that was taking more time.. In general working with high speed film cameras is a slow process compared to digital ones ( like phantoms) and more risky ( you can have film jams at that speed). I hope it help
  6. Hi Jonathan, to load the mag with 1000 films roll it's not very long. I'll say some minutes. The longest part is to load the fresh film on special metal cores ( you need them to go in high speed at any speed with this camera). You can't use regular kodak plastic cores because they can be smashed by the incredible torque force... This operation will take time and you'll need a rewinder in a dark room. Of course you'll need metal cores on both side of the mag ( supply and receiver). To answer to your question I'll say that you probably need 10 min to wind the film on metal core and 5 min to load the mag). I hope this help. Cheers! Max
  7. Great deductions Eric.. I'll try to get back the neg from the lab and see. It was a negative film in two different sensibility 50 D and 200 T. For what I saw it's a constant light leak.. from beginning to the end. I'll try to load the whole clip ( or the beginning and end of the rolls .
  8. very very interesting Aapo! ;)
  9. That's was also strange to me... I believe it has to do to the light leaks,no?
  10. yes Lance, the mag was taped and the eyepiece closed..
  11. Yes I used the PS 400 split reels to shoot the test. Of course I load the film into the split reels in the darkness. and yes usually after the first meters the light on the side go away. Very strange. I also belive that some one open the cans..
  12. HI everyone! I just shot a camera test with my Photo-Sonics s16 mm camera and this is the result… Obviously there is a problem here ( there is big light leaks ) but I don’t know what cause it ( if the camera , magazine or someone open the cans during the shipment) Few notes: -the two different shots are different film roles, shot in different moments with the same camera but different mags -They have been shipped together at the film lab. -Last year I bring them home from US in a checked bag. If anyone has a clue of what could happen It will be very helpful ? https://vimeo.com/673104264/b1826ec09b https://vimeo.com/673104938/2124707c3c Thanks! Max
  13. Hi everyone! now that ektachrome is out I was wondering if there is any specific way to treat it for scanning purpose. I know ,from my past still photographer experience, that the exposure need to be spot on and that the latitude it's a lot less of the negative. So, what is good to do.. over exposing a bit the film or under exposing for a perfect scan proces? Thanks Max
  14. Hi ! Does the zeiss 16 mm super speed mk I cover the super 16 format ? Thanks ! Max
  15. Hello , I'm just wondering if the s 16 800 ft films stock is still available or is discontinued. If yes, do you need to have a special order to Kodak or fuji ? Thanks a lot, max
  16. Hello, the Actionmaster 500 e is a fantastic camera... It's 16 mm not a super 16. There is a s16 version but It's only a recent version come after the 1997. Your look like a 16 mm . I have one of this cameras. You can shoot slow-motion footage till 500 fps . This camera use double perforated film stock ( you have to be carefull when you buy the film because now is all mono perforated for the s16) But you can still find it... The camera is quite simple to use it .. Only the magazine film load is a bit triky... But if you have the manual you can do it.. If not I can help you ... I don't see in your picture the battery ... camera run with 30 volt battery... if you need more info , let me know, max
