I chatted briefly with a projectionist at a theater showing Dune part 2 in 70mm and he mentioned the film print cost $20,000. This kind of threw me. Does that sound right?

Since this is a fan-made trailer, it's hard to have a reaction to it. Being an admirer of his past work, I am really looking forward to this. I also enjoy speculating how stylized he's planning to go. Will it be German Expressionism or more grounded? Can't wait.

I think I saw the Kubrick exhibit in Paris around 2011, I think. Possibly the best exhibit I've seen for motion pictures. Unbelievably thorough. The Cooke, Zeiss, and Schneider lenses that you find on the 2c turret are quite dinky compared to the typical PL mount lenses today. I think a lot of that has to do with the uniform diameters and focus /iris gears of modern lenses as compared with the old butterfly focus. It's funny to think how tiny some of the elements in those lenses are. . I love my 2c. It's a great, time tested design. Your picture shows a 200' magazine. A 400' load it can get pretty heavy for handheld after a while, but there are magazines designed for shouldering that can make it somewhat less burdensome.

Looks great! Really nice contrast.

Stéphane, You're generally safe putting 35mm lenses on your 16mm camera. It's the reverse that can be a problem. 16mm lenses, especially the wider focal lengths, protrude too far and will hit the mirror on a 35mm camera, like the 2C That's been my experience. Are you searching for certain focal lengths?

Hello, So I just got an anamorphic viewfinder part for my 2C and find that it doesn't fit all that well. It'll go in, but it can't seem to turn because it'll hit the round part protruding in there. Did Arri make a different door for anamorphic viewfinders?

Looks like Super 16mm

Lots of people find the Chinese lanterns to be quick and convenient for soft ambient. They're also very budget friendly.

2x on super 16mm seems like a waste of negative real estate, but the ad looks nice. I like that saturation of color. 1.5 X would allow you to crop very little and still give you a lot of that scope-y goodness. They did manage to keep the grain to a minimum, almost removing the 16mm look in most shots.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. I find the grain level to be rather appealing in the same way I like the see the texture in a pencil drawing. Do you happen to remember the stop / shutter speed ?

Keikki, I was convinced your film was 35mm because of the general depth of field , but IMDB says you shot on an Aaton xtr. Did you crop super 16 for that aspect ratio? Really nice work.

Somebody at a lab told me that Ektachrome shifts toward purple when cross processed. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I love the ingenuity here, even if it's not ready for prime time yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU4QEDkgoec

"Depending on the scanner they might have just left a software switch flipped, so it would not matter Pix quality wise, this is possible on a machine like the Scan Station or Xena that has a "flip horizontal" button in the setup." Ha ha Robert. That happened to me from some 35mm you guys scanned for me a few years ago, I flipped it in post and it's still some of the best footage I've gotten scanned .

I'm not sure what you mean by 'this look'. Are you talking about the slight matte around the edges? I ask because I've sent batches of super 35 and standard (academy)35 to the same place for scanning and it didn't seen to confuse them. The academy footage had a slight rounded-corner gate look as above, but not nearly that pronounced.
