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

Hi all, advice on the following please. I'm shooting a traditional luthier making a Spanish guitar on 16mm film (500T) with my Aaton XTR XC and I want to record the sounds as he works. 1. Is there any other way of synching sound other than manually (clapperboard) when shooting film? My Aaton XTR only has a battery to run it. Nothing else on it literally, no monitor, nothing (only the physical footage counter on the magazine). 2. Here's how I plan to handle the audio Camera - I have a basic 'sound blimp' to hopefully dampen down the rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of the magazine. That being said the Aaton magazines are pretty silent. Sound: I will be using a Røde NTG4+ mic on a boom over the 'frame' and recording onto a Zoom F3 recorder taped up to the pole. Workshop isn't large (still to see it) and I will be lighting with my trusted Arri tungsten lamps - as we all know they also add sound to the ambience as the bulbs heat up!!!!! Advice on the planned modus operandi please very welcome! Thank you.

hi there can you explain in simple terms the benefit/use of what you have created?

Very informative and very kind to take the time to write all this. Yes I have dumb adapters as I think they call them! I use Hasselblad extension tubes in my stills photography and wanted to experiment with my Aaton as I'm going to be filming soon loads of close up stuff with 500T in a guitar luthier workshop

Thanks for the information Dom appreciate it....I will report back on what it looks like

macro....yes exactly...thats what I want to investigate......thanks Mark for the reply

Eastman Double X is a 'special' film, I love it in 16mm. Beautifully exposed / treated in 'Poor Things' - the best I have seen this stock look for years, even more pleasing to my eye than in Oppenheimer. Thus I would never shoot Vision3 and turn it to BW unless its for financial reasons as it costs more for labs to process/scan it in my experience. The greyscale on this film is special to my eyes

Hi all, so I'd like to use a Hasselblad lens connected to my Aaton XTR XC camera via 2 adapters. I have a Hasselblad to M42 adapter and an M42 to Aaton mount adapter which Les Bosher made for me some years ago. I've shot with a Pentax Takumar 110mm?? lens on the Aaton with beautiful results. I'm wondering whether I need to add a stop to exposure or not given the x 2 adapters. I cant test it as I dont have a lab in country and Im hoping you guys can give me an answer or indication. .....the answer to the question why the hell would I want to do that is....why not. @Dom Jaeger any thoughts my friend?

Looking forward to this one Jarin...35mm film of course.....

fantastic trabajo...deberas....muy conmovedor y la fotografía perfecta para las situaciones......joyas.....

nobody wants to talk about this film?

Congratulations indeed...what a great coup for this highly rated/talked about film.....have not seen it yet....perhaps Dirk could give us some insight and anecdotes for it all
