  1. Hi Robert, Sorry I'm replying this late. Before, when someone replied to a post of mine in Cinematography I got an email, but it seems is not like this anymore and since there were no replies I did not check for quite a while. Many thanks for all the information. It is very useful. My projector is an EIKI SSL2. I actually got two gates modified, that I bought separately. The first modification was done by a technician in Spain (not MICRODELTA, I also wrote them but they could not do it), but the cut was very imprecise. The picture area was not straight, (the frame was quite curved on the upper right corner) when projected and I therefore the gate and modification was useless. After that I tried Les Bosher since he modified my Eclair ACL but he did not reply to my email this time. Hope he's fine Luckily a man in London read my post on another forum, and offered to do the job. The cut on the second film gate was far more precise but now that I read your email, maybe I have to check to find out if there has to be done some recentering of the image. Will work on it on the following days Thanks a lot Robert
  2. That's true. Resolve is not running on my Mac os High Sierra 10.13.6. So I need to update the system. Thanks Marc!
  3. Thanks a lot Dirk for the advice. Did not heard about this training but I'll check the website. And as soon as get Resolve installed in my computer (by next week) I will start spending time on it. Groetjes!
  4. Thanks both! I'll definetely go for Resolve. I had the doubt wether it was a program only for color grading but I see It's the best choice for editing.
  5. Hi, I'm looking for a book/guide/pdf file, up to date with postproduction technology, I can read to get acquainted with postpo workflow nowadays. I make 16/S16mm films (indie -very low budgets) every now and then and would like to know the process well to get the best results when working with editors and labs, specially when it comes to digital transfers, scanning, etc. Years ago I bought Film Technology in Post Production by Dominic Case. Great book. It helped me to understand how things work in the lab but I guess it's a bit out of date now Any recommendation? I'm also trying to find out which editing program I can start working with that is not too complicated for a beginner . The editor I work with usually recommended me Da Vinci Resolve (I had been working with Final Cut up to now) because I need to work a bit on the editing before I start the final edition with him (won't do any color grading myself,) Thanks!
  6. Thanks for the tips. They've been very valuable to me I realize that exposure is quite a thing. I've used film for some time but not that regularly and now I want to learn more about exposure and lighting. I'm trying to implement Ansel Adams Zone System process to film tests I'm doing. Will keep on practicing Thanks both!
  7. Thanks for the explanation Duncan. I use first a Sekonic meter L-478D, measuring both incident and reflected light, to get the right exposure and set the camera meter accordingly. But since I can never get the center LED lit alone in my ACL because the next LED after the center one, below, (- 0,5 f) is always lit, no matter which aperture I'm using , that makes me think the LED7 meter is not working. In that case, I guess I can only trust the Sekonic readings and forget about the ACL light meter calibration. Correct? Thanks again
  8. Thanks Mark. Will test different exposures to see if I can find a way to figure out the inner meter failure
  9. Hi all, I'm trying to calibrate my ACL II, LED7 built in light meter, following the procedure described here: https://eclaircameras.wordpress.com/acl-meter-calibration/ I follow all 6 steps but when I rotate all the way the potentiometer knob to set the proper exposure, I never only get the central diode (zero) lit, the -0,5 stop diode is always lit , regardless of the rotation. Does that mean that the light meter is not working? I'm trying to calibrate my Sekonic reflected meter to the ACL meter, to get proper exposure and be able to decide about sub/overexposure for creative reasons Thanks, Patricia
  10. Hello, I've been reading in a post from 2009, that Bernie O'Doherty could widen the film gate of 16mm projectors to S16mm. I wonder if nowadays, there is someone /company who can do this service, carefully. Any info, will be much appreciated Thank you very much Patricia
  11. Yes, I'm looking at it on a computer monitor. The lab sent me a Quicktime Mov file by email Thank you for your reply
  12. thank you Aapo. That sounds logical. I will contact the lab tomorrow. They do the processing and telecine at the same place
  13. Hello, I just received my first camera tests from my new Eclair ACL II converted to S16mm by Les Bosher, and the image is upside down, the floor is up and the ceiling is down. The camera was serviced just recently I'm still getting acquainted with the camera since previously I owned a R16 Beaulieu Could someone tell me what could be the cause for this? Thank you
  14. Hi, I'm looking for a Canon 7-63mm T2.6 or Canon 8-64mm T2.4 for a documentary shot in S16 Preferably in Europe to avoid parcels Thank you, Patricia
  15. I'm looking for: - 200 ft magazine/s for an Eclair ACL compatible with 24/25 fps motor, and 75 fps motor. In good condition - platters with core adaptors for a 400 ft magazine (for Eclair ACL as well) Cheers, Patricia
