Film changing Bag vs Tent
Stephen Perera replied to Boris Kalaidjiev's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
I have and use a tent…..you don’t get the sweats so much with the tent haha…..I mean if you are shooting Aaton and you are taking camera bags and stuff u might as well set up the tent…… -
Saw it too…..magnificent film…..really enjoyed it….the casting was so good…..albeit could not get beyond Ethan Hawke being Ethan Hawke and not the king he was playing…..I see the dilemma they have with choosing the next James Bond in that you can’t get beyond previous roles with some actors…….didn’t feel that with Nicole Kidman or Defoe……the film was engrossing to watch…..not saying Ethan Hawke didn’t act well mind….. the cinematography was superb…..a key fight scene with the lava etc magnificent to watch…..the dialling back of the colour worked really well too…..the 35mm the perfect choice…. chapeau Jarin…..keep shooting our beloved film my friend so that we the minions can keep putting it in our Hasselblads et al

showing the perfs etc (cant remember what the term is) on the super 8mm is a bit of a YouTuber signalling ''look Im shooting film'' moment but hey, the great unwashed need to be taught about film hahaha so i don''t mind.....the video look is fun.......I''m fully up to the latest episode now and looking forward to episode 10...... The Nike moment we all remember from THAT episode......Michael Jordan signed with NIKE back in 1984 for 250,000 dollars and his own line of shoes....Converse had failed to agree with his demands apparently......his net worth is 2.2 billion dollars v Magic Johnson (he signed with Converse) net worth 600 million dollars hahah "Both companies were trying to sign the league’s hottest rookie. Nike, which was still trying to establish itself, didn’t have the cash Magic was looking for and offered him an option in Nike stock to sign with them. Still young and thinking dollars more than sense, Magic took $100,000 in cash from Converse."

Exposing Expired 7222 - Grey Card Question
Stephen Perera replied to Gerrit Fahr's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
The one stop for every ten years comes from the photography world probably E.g. If your film stock is 500 asa set your light metre for 250 asa and work as normal……can’t think of a simpler explanation that’s this……whether it be ambient light readings or spot metres off a grey card……i shoot expired film all the time in my photography…..have stock from 2012 I use with no issues. Tell the lab to develop normal. No N+1 or anything like that personally I don’t give expired film an extra stop as I found it was giving normal results with my normal film rating….which in the photography world is not normally box speed -
Kudos to M. David Mullen for Mrs. Maisel.

Will watch thanks for the recommend -
What a superb series!!!!! I’m European and the NBA is not a part of my culture though obviously there is huge interest in it now over on this continent it was all football football football of course…..or soccer as you call it over there……anyway, as I was born in 1966 I recall and have many memories of the 70s and early 80s when all this takes place in the series…..the clothes and the stuff we had around in our homes……but I digress……. casting is superb, the clothes are superb, the filming style is superb…..the actors engage the audience and address us all the time……..it’s bold, energetic……ballsy…..chapeau for creating this……look at the tech spec…they continually go from 35mm to 16mm to super 8 to video camera Betacam 8……and even animation…….Wtf……love it! totally recommended!

Just come across this even if old news...will be watching this evening..... ".....it does have one of the best Director's Cuts ever made because of how it re-crafts the movie not for spectacle or fun additions but entire subplots and character developments that make it a richer story and worthy of being a historical epic.......now is the time to sit back and enjoy all 3 hours and 14 minutes of Scott's true vision.......a movie that remains visually stunning and impeccably crafted but at its longer runtime becomes more substantive and thoughtful about man's propensity for violence and the difficulty of finding peace."
