meaning each camera having it's own obie? I'm usually not fond of multiple catchlights unless they are different sizes, but it works well on this character.

I don't think that it's all hard-light, so it looks like deliberate placement of catchlights low in the eye which is a strange look. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the character......

Does anyone see something interesting going on with the catchlights on Lucifer? I haven't been able to see anything consistent except that there are lots of them, but it still seems to be deliberate. Thoughts?

FWIW here's a quick color test with Coollights 5000K lamp in a S4 CDM par. I think they work pretty well together.

re: the X-Files I got a good laugh at the monster-turned-man's wardrobe- it appeared to be Kolchak's from "the Night Stalker" that series may have been the original "X Files"

Thanks for posting this. I'm a fan of the Bollywood 'epic' musicals and I've not seen much discussion about them.

I will admit the early Dr Who had a certain charm.

"River" (out of the UK) on Netflix has gotten my attention. And Dr Who has gotten very nice looking considering the humble beginnings. an aside for Mr Mullen Space 1999? great miniature work, especially for the era. Howabout UFO?

you may be able to get newly manufactured film of an old type, 3M i think. Don't know if it'll be the look you want, but it probably won't look like Vision3. http://www.filmferrania.com

tennis balls also to protect people from pointy ends of grip arms and the like. regarding apple boxes/baby pins: I've installed 3/8" Tee Nuts in some of mine to allow quick installation of a baby (5/8) pin.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if 100' daylight loads can be used in an XTR Prod? If so, is the takeup on daylight spool or on a core?

Yep I was hoping the flexibility with shooting height wouldn't have drawbacks. Didn't think about the push-in problem. (doh..) they do have casters available.

Has anyone used the Woody Dolly from Wooden Nickel? The use of speedrail for supports LOOKS like a good idea, but I've had wobble with things like that before. Any thoughts?

We've always used Permacel, and recently tried Rosco but weren't happy. Has anyone used brands like barndoor, filmtools, or kupo gaffer tape? If so was it any good?

thanks everyone for your help.

What makes the most sense for placing an instrument like a blonde or a junior out of a 2nd story window? 2 ideas: furni clamp on the sill boom or menace arm of course safety cabled. what's the most expedient and safe method?

you just need the regular Lowel AC cord (a printer/typewriter cord will do, but has no switch). And as Brian said switch out the lamp for a 120v one. http://lowel.tiffen.com/omni/ download Omni-light Instructions (PDF)

here's what I found for anyone who can use it: Miller Support in NJ (973) 857-8300miller support in NJ If your Miller is a Universal, it was made by someone else and marketed by Miller. They suggested this outfit: Transylvania Film & TV (818) 763-2036 www.transfilm.com Here's a post on theis forum about rebuild/repair http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=51846 And here's some online instructions for rebuilding an old O'connor http://www.bealecorner.com/fx1/OConnor30/index.htm

I also could use some help with a Miller head , if anyone has any suggestions....

Yes i have a 16SB with bayonet mount.

Thanks Bill I've heard that the 9.5-57 is the exception. I do have a Zeiss 8mm and 9.5mm Kinetal. I'll have to keep looking for some Zeiss in the old Arri mounts. There aren't too many choices out there. That's why I'm hoping at least the later Schneiders are okay.

I'm trying to decide on lenses for my arriflex. I have a few old schneiders but was looking at an angenieux 9.5- 57 f1.6. How would that lens compare to the late model Schneiders such as multicoated 25 1.5? I'm especially interested in performance at wide aperatures Thanks

Hope you were able to find them. Also search for FAY under category cameras. A few more will come up that way
