the heater looks cool in my opinion....

All the above being said wait for others to comment if you want. As I said, Im the shallow end of the cinematography gene pool, 36 years years shooting PHOTOGRAPHIC film pero only a decade shooting 16mm

Nothing strange comes through as you can see from the stuff Ive shot....úsalo sin miedo! vamosssssssssss

I love grain and thus I don't use 'noise reduction'. YouTube tries to smudge all grain to my eternal annoyance. Make sure you choose the highest resolution that is on offer to view things on YouTube. The Aaton does not give me any problems that I am aware of. The magazines work well and I have no electronics on the camera, not even digital footage counter and certainly no monitor. All hand metre and looking through the viewfinder. I never shoot with anyone to help so I don't do any complicated focus racks or camera movements either. Camera on sticks and thats that.

I'm far from being the best person you can talk to in this forum as I'm not a cinematographer....but yes I do have experience shooting Double X with my Aaton XTR XC camera that I own with a Cooke Varokinetal 9-50mm zoom that I cherish and love. In short, the stock is BEAUTIFUL to my eyes but needs to be metered properly. Does NOT have much latitude in highlights I find....works great indoors in my opinion. I would say like 1 to 1.5 stops of latitude in highlights. So much so I would metre this film like I do slide film, metering for the highlights and not the shadows as they take care of themselves somewhat.....I shoot it at recommended EI which is 250 asa and 200 asa. Long live Eastman Kodak Double X!

Of course, glad to help....

excellent work thank you for posting this

I really enjoyed the film....albeit a rehash of the first Twister - same characters and predictability.....very very convincing special effects and overall a great immersive cinema experience....

Cookeing it again...my father, he's 86 now....

very kind of you to say my friend from Oz.....good luck to ur rugby 7s team...was watching it last night!

very kind of you to say so Don. We're two of a kind then.....film only stills photographer. Life long film evangelist. Kodak be thy name haha

and more?

and more Cooke-ing

and a few more

that's a great summary of the lens Steve....

you Aussies haha

Never been anywhere near a film set but I assume it's the thought that digital just doesn't run out and it doesn't cost anything (yes boringly obvious statement) If I were to teach cinematography at any level I would start students off on their journey with projects of shooting stills on film....there is a lot to see in one frame and you get a sense of what eye they have......and I mean film they are forced to pay for and processing that they to pay for too.......once the frame is valued (and there are 24/25 frames per second to value in one second) then the philosophy of shooting motion starts off on a good footing..... The value within a frame includes the lighting, exposure analysis and metering and everything that is important. As a photographer I sometimes hear the 'don't worry fix it in photoshop' from people trying to urge me not to be so 'get it in the camera' with my work during a shoot....so when I process my own film and hang it to dry and I see good exposure from the off on the negatives and then when I scan it Im just touching out a few specks of dust and stuff.....thats when you know its worth it

what do they even go for these days???

No no no I'm at the very shallow end of the pool haha I use the one lens and thats it...it's a beautiful lens, love it.....gives me all I want...wide angle and telephoto ish

hahaha good one
