Okay guys A couple questions. I love to incorporate the mole Richardson units in my photography. I love the vintage look and the beautiful light they produce. Now I have some questions about powering these lights... 1. Can I put a less wattage bulb in these fixtures and run them on standard household power? For example can I take the 2k bulb out and say put in a 1500 watt bulb? My light fixture also has a bates connector instead of a Edison plug so I went ahead and bought the adapter to connect the two. This unit is 20 amps. 2. Now for the 5k I have pretty much the same question. There is no way I can run a 5k off of a standard household outlet without probably calling out a professional electrician. However what if I put a 1500 watt bulb in the unit ? Would this allow me to do something like that since I am cutting the power down? I also realize I would need a Edison adapter for this since it is 60 amps and it came with a bates plug. I have had no luck finding a 60 amp Edison adapter except from rental houses. The most obvious choice is to scale down my lights and purchase a less wattage light outright but I really like the look of the big units as props on photographs I am taking. Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks for the help!

Shooting stills with Kodak motion picture film
Matthew Glover replied to Matthew Glover's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
Thanks for the link! I am curious why this film says 800T and not 500T like Kodak's website says? -
I really want to do this just to experienment and for the hell of it. I will shoot it using a 35mm still camera. Now I know the processing of this kind of film is different than regular standard Kodak Portra film. Is there any where in particular where I can get this process done? Are there any labs that will remove the back of the film so it can be processed in the right chemicals? Also since I am guessing most films are filmed at a 1/48 shutter speed, is it possible that I can up my shutter speed to 1/60 and still get some nice sharpness and detail? Sorry if this sounds confusing. I also guess I would set my ISO on my camera to 500 since I am shooting 500t? Thanks!

Do most DOP's operate the camera?
Matthew Glover replied to Matthew Glover's topic in Cinematographers
Thanks for the reply David! I love to be behind the camera and operating it and lighting scenes...is this still a field I should go down? Its kind of a bummer that If I do make it a career in the future I wont be behind the camera. -
Very curious about this I am talking for big budget hollywood films. Do most DOP's actually handle the camera? Or is there a seperate person for this job?

Very curious. I want to shoot a short film and I am doing it on Kodak vision 3 stock. It will be about 11 minutes long. Already have the camera body, but would love to use some panavision glass. Also I heard that in order to use panavision lenses you also have to rent their camera bodies. Is this true? I plan on shooting on the Arri LT by the way.

Arri Alexa or Red epic Dragon? Which to buy....
Matthew Glover replied to Matthew Glover's topic in General Discussion
Sorry I worded that wrong. I ment to say i heard that some red cams are unreliable and run into trouble on set. I obviously don't want this to happen to me. I will most likely wait until arri comes out with a Alexa 4k. Although it will be pricey I know it will be a cam to last a lifetime. How much do u guys seeing it go for? Possibly a double in the price of the Alexa? I doubt it but u never know these days.
