Hi!
I'm about to shoot my first 16mm short film, it's a very low-budget film and therefore I have some problems.
We are going to use an old Arriflex 16BL with a 10-100 lens. I think it is some kind of standard for this model. We borrowed the camera from a friend
In the front of the lens it says that the apertures largest stop is 2.8, but the f-stop ring only goes to 3.3, does anyone know why this is?
We've got a hold of some film rolls for free. These rolls are about ten years old, but have been kept in a freezer, how is this going to affect the results.
Unfortunally the stock is out of production so I can't get any information about it, but maybe someone knows anything. It's a
Fujicolor negative film F-64 8610 Tungsten 16mm 122m. When did it go out of production?
And an easy calculation, considering that the aperture only goes to 3.3 and the film iso is 64, says that we need plenty of light.
We can only get a hold of a couple of 800w readheads, about 7-12 ones. This wont be enough, we are going to lit some large areas
An apartment, a church and an hospital corridor with almost no natural light. My solution is simply to push the film two stops to
iso 250. We have done some calculations and that?s what we need, two stops. How is this going to look, will it be very bad, also
considering that the film is ten years old. Have anyone done something like this?
After developing its going to telecine and later to be released on video.
