I saw this yesterday on Reddit:

Hi, We recently rented an Aaton XTR prod for a small project. Yesterday we got our rushes back. About 1/5th of the shots have a flickering light leak on the bottom left corner of the frame. Here is an example: https://vimeo.com/265802030 Password: leak Do any of you know what may have caused this? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for help so far! Some more info: - We're shooting 24fps. And the footage on the screen is 24fps. - The screen we shot the test footage on a iMac screen. (It was a very barebones test.) We don't have an actual TV screen set for the shoot, so i'd like to get one that works best for this sort of shoots. -The footage shown will actually be in B&W -The camera we used in the test was an iPhone actually. (With the app Filmic Pro which allows you to control shutter speed and fps) Again, the camera for the shoot is not set in stone yet, we're still in development phase. -What is shown on TV is basically as important as what is happening to the people watching. Which is why I'm really trying to get acquainted with shooting screens. It is possible though, that I did not set up the shutter speed of camera correctly. I'll do some further tests with different settings. Is there any other info that you might need?

Hi there, I'm prepping a scene that quite heavily features a TV showing some footage. The TV will probably be seen in every shot of the scene. (Either in the background or foreground.) Our tests show one visual flaw we would like to avoid. Each frame of the TV footage has what we call the "in between 2 frames" effect. (The 2 attached screenshots you'll see what I mean.) Do you think there is a way to avoid this that does not involve inserting the footage in post? If it were possible to do it for real, It would save us some money. Bu shooting it for real also allows us to play with things like reflections on the TV screen and do more complex camera moves. What are you experiences regarding shooting screens? Thanks!

Hello! I'm looking for information about the procedure of transferring digital files onto 35mm (and telecine it back onto digital). We are thinking of doing this with 1080p footage we shot. The footage will be transferred onto a black and white 35mm negative and telecine to 2k digital back. I understand films like Nebraska and Dancer In The Dark were done using this technique. However, I have been unable to find much information on the process. I understand it's expensive. However, it is hard to find any tests online, showing the before and after. Showing a difference in grain, dynamic range, etc. Do any of you have experience in this field? Thanks!
