  1. Hi Chris, I'm interested. I've sent you a PM to discuss further. Chris
  2. Hello, I couldn't find a 65mm forum so I thought I would share this here. Does anyone know the formula to calculate the amount of time a 1000' mag of 65mm film would run with an 8-perf movement? Chris
  3. Hi Rick, Can you send me details on the Arricam LT 4 perf kit? Thanks, Chris
  4. Hello, I'm looking for advice if anyone has done this themselves! I’m trying to up-convert the analog composite signal from a 435ES video tap to an HD-SDI signal so I can get a wireless feed going through a teradeck. What I’ve found online to be the best solution so far is the Aja V2 mini converter. The Decimators (specifically the MD-DUCC) are apparently very misleading and can't convert the analog CVBS signal to SDI, although the Decimator 2 can down-convert. Has anyone tried/tested any of these methods or found a way themselves? Thanks, Chris
  5. Hi Bill, Do you have anything online that you shot with this camera that you can share? Thanks, Chris
  6. Thanks Gregg, I've sent them a message. Still open to anyone else looking to sell! Chris
  7. Hi, I'm on the look out for an Arricam LT package. I'm based in Ontario Canada. Is anyone selling? Thanks, Chris
  8. Hello, I have a short film shoot set to go to camera early November and we're shooting on Kodak 35mm film. There's a particular scene involving two characters who go out for a night in the city and involves them running through the streets, in china town shops, and restaurants. We've set aside 5219 for those scenes and will be shooting on Zeiss Super Speeds but I'm worried it still won't be enough. So I've thought about push processing. The look of push processing would also aid the story as everything is supposed to feel heightened for the characters. I've never attempted it before so I wanted to see if anyone could help answer some questions: - Does push processing actually get you more image in the blacks or just simply up the contrast? - How many stops should one push to get clear characteristics of push processing (grain, contrast, saturation). I've heard that modern stocks need to be really pushed to their limits before seeing clear results? - Considering I'm shooting 500T, how do I rate the stock for each additional stop? +1 = 1000, +2 = 2000? - Is it even worth it to get the effect chemically or can the same results be achieved in the DI? Thanks for the help! Chris
  9. Satsuki, David, thanks so much for the input!
  10. Thanks David! Would you have any recommendations as to how this could be achieved? Particular lenses that have very obvious veiling? It looks as thought they're able to get varying degrees of intensity.
  11. Hello, I've been searching for a while now on how to achieve this effect. Here's a perfect example: It's the beautiful ghosting effect when the light hits the lens at particular times. It looks as though some kind of classic soft filter and they're letting light leak behind it? Or is this a separate piece of glass? Thanks! Chris
  12. Hi, I have a music video shoot and we're currently deciding cameras. I prefer the look of the Alexa and want to push the Mini as we're mostly on steadicam. However we have a lot of strobe lighting during a performance sequence, making the Dragon with motion mount seem like the right way to go. Is the Studio the only option for choosing Alexa when dealing with strobes? We're shooting a range of speeds, ramping from 24 to 60fps. Thanks, Chris
  13. Thanks everyone for the input!
  14. Hi Colin, Definitely interested. Would you have any connections to a couple 400' mags? Also, would you be able to change the perf configuration? Thanks, Chris
  15. Hi Diana, Visual Products has a small package for sale. I'd contact them for details on pricing. http://www.visualproducts.com/storeProductDetail02.asp?productID=998&Cat=17&Cat2=30 Best, Chris
  16. Hello, I'm on the look out to buy an Arri AVF-2. Also willing to make a trade with my standard f-3 finder in addition to some cash. Let me know! Thanks, Chris
  17. Thanks David! Always informative responses! So you're saying I wouldn't notice anything off with color using IRND's shooting 35mm? If not I'm probably better off getting them anyways to cover myself for any digital shoots. chris
  18. Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had experience shooting 35mm with stacked IRND filters. I was wondering if there is a color shift similar to what you get stacking IRND's with a digital sensor (that blueish shade). I'm looking to get a set of ND's and am wondering if there's a need to spend the extra cash on the IR versions. If not i'll just go for the regular solid ND's. Thanks! Chris
