I thought Mark had done the tests with Cinelab London??

No problem.....so it will take just one major director/DP to use it in a big film and it will start selling 'properly' I assume.....

no worries thats sufficient and thanks for your time Im sure many people here will find this interesting.....

well I think it looks great - notwithstanding the way YouTube tries to 'correct' film grain etc - it bodes well that we have an alternative to Kodak out there albeit I can only go to 16mm format (one man band) thus this test for me is simply my subjective appreciation.....perhaps you could make the footage available or visible in a way that none of these platforms screw with it? Vimeo perhaps?

would be great if anyone have any more photos or whatever to add to this thread of perhaps stuff they have done themselves...thanks to everyone for the message much obliged

now I see how its done physically thank you very much

I have no idea nor can imagine anything of what you have just said hahaha...but I am sure its accurate and correct and I thank you for your message

...and this is when making the contact print to project right? so like colour grading before computers.....

Hi all, obviously, as a 'nobody' in this world my experience in motion picture film is simply that it's scanned once processed for me......in stills I shoot, process film and print myself in the darkroom if I want or else scan the negatives but I really dont know much about what the 'printer lights' system, can someone give us the definitive 'printer lights' for dummies guide in this thread complete with images or videos or whatever? Is it kind of like printing colour in the darkroom where you adjust the RGB 'filters' on the enlarger...for example, setting it at 70 yellow, 50 magenta and 0 cyan.

Cinelab have an Arriscan yes.....

hey Mark great you're not pissed off I posted this for you in here haha thanks man. Also glad Cinelab is your lab with Sonji, Aarti and the gang doing their thing for you.

interesting! anyway I don't know if Mark Wiggins is in this forum...would be great to have him come on. As for price (in 16mm) it's ball park Vision3 500T so....but the texture looks great in that clip he posted

Hi all, came across this. I hope Mark is around and he can share more interesting facts etc

It's a great idea to record the camera rolling.....ingenious really for us down here at the one man band end of things!

Not started yet thanks for the input appreciate all comments from everyone other than why shoot film haha as that is blasphemy to my ears hahaha come on sense of humour time please

Tyler, is that DaVinci Resolve full version or the free one can do that too?

ahh great I will look into that thank you very much

thanks Tyler will watch that piece as I did at the time when you first started helping me getting my Aaton back working with your battery adapter which you 3D printed, not forgetting the 'perfect loop' as well I got from you.

Go for it Jon, film is king, always.....thanks for commenting

excellent advice thank you, I had not thought about recording the Aaton only in the room to 'profile' it.....can you explain how this is done?

My raison d'être is to shoot on film amigo.....36 years shooting film and counting (photographic mostly of course). Im shooting a guy who makes guitars for a living he's not an actor nor am I asking him to act so its a different set of rules I apply to this in my mind, I can do plenty of 1 takes for sure

This is him playing taken on my phone

Thanks for all the advice....yes it's simply me all the way through so I will go for announcing the take before rolling that way I save film and don't have to shoot a slate. I'm shooting a luthier making a guitar not playing it til later prob at the very end when it's ready...... I'm having a guitar made by hand by a luthier as a family heirloom that I want to pass down hopefully to inspire a grandchild to play it and at the same time see ME in the process via this short film or whatever it turns out to be! The funny thing is I can't play for sh*t and my sons are too young (20 and 22) and don't even have girlfriends at the moment so it's hopefully still a long time away Hahaha..... I met this luthier busking in Gibraltar some time ago and I invited him to play in my home in a get together with some friends and he played this guitar he made by hand which was beautiful and that sparked off the idea

......thanks Mark yeah a handclap is what I was thinking of cos I don't have film to burn, I will prob shoot a ratio of 1:1 mostly and maybe 2:1 if I change angles for the same given the person is not 'acting' but Im shooting him doing his thing...the mic tapped with a pencil is a great idea haha
