  1. This is turning into a pseudo-discussion...I never brought up the client aspect. Just curious to know if there is a way to make the F3 footage 4K in the recording process. I probably would never purposely lie to client about this, and honestly that still doesn't matter here for the discussion still. But thank you for your valuable input, and I will take your moral advise in consideration as well. C
  2. I hear you...but moral isn't really the discussion right here, right now. And as I clearly stated at the top. I know there are other cameras out there that does 4k, and everything that I have mentioned here. I was curious if there was actual was a way to do it in the pipeline. For example, if it does work I can use the same rig for a F35 as well if that becomes the next step. I already have the recorder, storage, and a sweet deal for a F3. So for me the biggest investment and hurdle would be to power the converter from P-tap possibly. C
  3. Right...but if F3 upscaled to 4k in 422 looks better than DSLR 4k in 8-bit...and the client is hiring has no knowledge about this, I wouldn't say it matters? C
  4. What typo? It says made in the original post ? C
  5. Last I checked the ProRes from the F3 does not take up that much space, and if I am not the one doing the edit or anything in post and the client demands 4K, that's where I am thinking of.I know 4k isn't always needed either.C
  6. True, but it would still mean I need to deliver a 1080p file to upres. Also, when I tried using the topaz labs, but it didn't read my ProRes...and only did output compressed formats... C
  7. I think you are misreading my question. I am curious what companies that MADE 65 mm perforated back in the heyday. All those IMAX movies we saw as kids, was it always Kodak? Or did any other company try to make stock as well in those sizes. C
  8. Hi! First, I know there will be other options out there for cameras, so please only address the issue at hand. I am considering to invest in a Sony F-3 for future work. While I know there are a lot of options out there already, and getting a different brand of camera, I like the look, and the fact that you can record 444 out of the camera makes it a possible to still use to a point. And it even looks great upscaled (from the test I have done). However, I know some people will want a 4k pipeline and have the footage like that delivered. So I was wondering, is there a 1080p to 4k upscaled that can be attached to a camera feeding out SDI? C
  9. Hey everyone, Like most in this forum I'm a hardcore film nut, and like to learn more every day, to understand the medium and improve. Now with the resurge of 65 film for Kodak, and people ramping up hand rolling short ends into their cameras, I was curious to know what companies that actually made 65 mm film. Kodak still does, but did Fuji ever venture into the IMAX / 65mm size? Were there other options? And also, has anyone ever made a black/white 65 mm stock? (clearly a VERY specific look but...) C
  10. Hi there, Selling my Canon 8-64 mm lens, with donut, and grey pelican case. Visually looks a bit worn but optically 100% Lens is located in Los Angles, and can be shipped, or local pickup. $3600USD + shipping, or best offer
  11. Hi there, Selling my Eclair ACL 1.5 The kit comes in a flight case and includes: Eclair ACL 1.5 Body with 12-75 FPS motor and fully articulated viewfinder 2 x 200 ft magazines (french) 1 x 400 ft magazine (french) 2 re-celled Ni-Mh batteries 1 modern fast charger for batteries Arri PL mount adapter Arri B, and S, mount adapter Base fitted to attach 15 mm rods (which are included) SmallRig modern top handle Original Eclair top handle Jaeger to block battery cable I sadly don’t use it enough anymore so I want to to go to someone that loves it. I bought it for $1900 including shipping a few years back, but it has since then been properly converted to S16 and maintained by Super 16 INC. $1600 USD or Best offer
  12. Spoke to Bernie at Super16 on the phone. He told me it isn't dangerous at all. C
  13. Ill let you know for sure. Im building a 4K video tap as well, Ill let you know about that as well...
  14. Hi there, I finally have gotten my Eclair ACL kit to work, and it has been out on a handful of jobs. I love it. Thing is, I am now making a video tap for it, to try to modernize and make it an alternative to the alluring SR's, and 416's of the world. One issue though is that the repairman that made my conversion, Bernie at Super 16 Inc, made the frame lines by hand. And that's all good for myself using it privately, but it does come across as a bit unprofessional in the working world. My question is, is there anyone in the Los Angeles area that potentially could make me a custom ground glass to replace what I already have in the camera? Preferably someone that knows Aatons internals (since they are basically an Eclair). //C
  15. Would you consider parting with 1-2 french mags? C
  16. The motor itself is vibrating, creating a louder noise of the camera than intended. I managed to a temporary fix with soft side velcro put in between the body and the motor. And since my screws doesn't really seem to tighten the motor that well, I will settle for the fix for now. But future I might want ot take it off and properly velcro to stop any vibrations. C
  17. Hi there, I am finally busting out my lovely ACL for work on Saturday again, and I just want to check that everything works again. It seems I had the same issue as the great Jason Hinkle had on his motor. And I am wondering if there is a way to take off the motor, and tighten the screws? I would love to send it out to Bernie, but I have no time to do it now sadly. C
  18. 1. Would be fun to learn one more system. 2. Hoping that might be able to score a deal with a camera that NEVER goes out. I got 2500 ft of 16mm lying around that I want to shoot, and it not getting any fresher...even if they are in the fridge... C
  19. I had issues posting in the PV forum first. This one can be removed. Sorry. C
  20. Hi there, Just curious, is there any location that still have the Elaine camera for rental, and if not, for sale? I heard a lot of bad things about them, but would love to try it out. C

  22. Yes thank you for explaining what X-AVC is, and the difference in the encoding. I think all of us taking part in this discussion already knew this. But great job trying to prove a point. So what you are basically saying is what Stuart also confirmed. If you light it properly, it will still look great in post. But you want to alter it a lot. And then using RAW seems like you are consider it cheating? It may be complicated, but you are setting up your own boundaries here. C
  23. Ok, Stuart I'm trying to really get to a middle ground here as well. I do think that it looks great out of the camera, but I think the RAW footage gives an amazing image as well. I did say that the RAW image with a good grade looks amazing, that does not mean the other doesn't, or does it? C
