  1. Technology is good but I hate the idea of "HAVING TO" use a new technology despite where my preference may lie.
  2. Spectra IV is a great lightmeter. It is one of the most reliable and accurate meters out there. I wouldn't do false color etc from the video tap as the specifications do not match the film stocks in terms of sensitivity and contrast etc.
  3. I'm sorry but I can't imagine 16mm black and white reversal stock blowing up nicely to 15p IMAX... even 35mm doesn't do the justice let alone 16mm reversal stock.
  4. So how come all the blockbusters are shot on digital except for a few here and there? Surely hundreds of millions of dollars for a budget, they wouldn't be shooting on an inferior format.
  5. Of course it is peanuts in comparison to the 00s and the 90s. Nowadays shooting on film is more of a vanity affair and prestige thing as opposed to then - everything had to be shot on film...
  6. Is it me or am I sort of seeing some kodak 29 Expression look there as well?
  7. It looks good. It'd be great to see it under properly lit interior stuff.
  8. To me, the grain resembles double x stock in 16mm... I wonder how this stock would look on 35 scanned on a good scanner. I have a feeling it might have a nice/different look, but on 16, forget it. If the prices made sense, I would like to shoot it on 35 and get it scanned professionally on a good scanner.
  9. 900 for 1000ft sounds like money well spent to me then haha
  10. Apparently the scene did not call for him to cock the pistol and pull the trigger at all, but yet, he did... crazy huh
  11. So 18 months and 5000 dollars = a human life... excellent justice. I wonder if I, an average earthly being, had been in the same situation, I would have faced the same judgment... 18 months and 5000 dollars...
  12. One more thing to add... Arri cameras are just simply more robust and easier to get repaired than an Aaton.
  13. That may be but is there really that much demand for 35 cameras where you are? You don't think those rental houses would acquire 35 cameras if the demand was there? Like Tyler says, Aaton 35 is a specialty camera that comes handy in certain situations like A-minima cameras... great little s16 camera but, no way it's the right tool to shoot narrative stuff. I would get an Arri bl 4 or 4s or a 535 camera and rent specialty cameras like an Aaton when the need rises. At least with those cameras, you won't have to worry about the run time and sound issues while shooting narrative projects.
  14. You'll need a barney... even then, it will not be quiet enough in small and quiet rooms. Feature films probably had to go through ADR for the parts with intrusive camera noise. If you're going to be using the camera for your own projects, it is fine but don't expect much in rentals... I don't think any 35mm camera is a sound investment as an owner/operator if your goal is to rent it out and profit - including Arricams... Any proper production with budget that will be shooting on Arricams will go through a proper rental house because of the support. If a camera body fails during a production, the rental house can replace it with a working one for example. The last thing you need is to halt a production that costs thousands/millions due to a camera failure.
  15. I haven't seen the movie yet but have heard nothing but negative to very negative reviews so far in terms of the story. I keep hearing that the only redeeming aspect of the film is its cinematography. I haven't seen but only echoing what I've heard and read about the film.
  16. I just checked their website.. it says nc500 is a color negative stock. Kodak 65mm is around 1500 lol just sayin...
  17. 1000ft of nc 500 is now 1916.00 dollars... hahahaha
  18. Even their black and white stocks seem to be over a thousand... you might as well shoot Kodak 65mm...
  19. I suspect, with these prices, they will not sell enough or any and cease its production all together in a few months. Really a shame..
  20. The answer is you don't... shame. I was super excited to have a new Agfa XT 320 in a way.
  21. Unfortunately, with these high prices, Orwo will price itself out of the competition. Especially for longer form productions, it will be Kodak. Kodak has consistentcy and a track record as opposed to these grossly high priced products... shame..
