Back at USC film school '87-'91, I shot all of my footage on a Bolex H8 Rex using Kodachrome 40 film (25ft spools of Double 8). Everyone else shot Super 8.... But, I digress. I always shot a color chart with my clapboard. On the board, I listed metered f-stop values, gels used, lighting used, daylight conditions (cloudy, etc.), date, time of day, film stock used, camera and lens types and values. I used a calibrated Spectra light meter. I wasn't able to afford a colorimeter at the time. But, school movies gave me a certain latitude regarding mistakes. I might still have the trims with those images in storage. I will check, just to make sure. David in Tucson
