Also be very careful about frame aspect terminalogy.  For film cameras its 1:33, 1:66, 1:85, 2:39

The formats 16:9, and 4:3 are television formats. You can crop cinema formats to tv. But cant do vis versa.

Widely used aspect ratios include 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 in film photography, 4:3 and 16:9 in television 

This will come to bite you when you try to sell the movie and its not properly formatted

I've been looking to do this to my ARRI S for years. This rig would work really well for with a 400ft mag.

Nothing wrong with shooting in 1:33/R16.  If seen quite a few films shot on 1:33 and the audience is not jumping out of their seats.  Actually shooting in a different format makes you stand out. And yes, a well maintained R16 camera is worth investing in. 

This great looking stuff!!  Greys and the whites and blacks are stunning. Nice work

Meter as accuratly as you can.  7222 is a very good stock but its still B/W. Your range of latitude is narrower that color 

Hi 

I'm shooting on 16mm and will be editing on Final Cut Pro 7.  I plan to get a negative cut (yes old school) for archival reasons. 

I've learned that FCP 7 does not allow film keycodes in its EDL. Is this true?

Is there an alternative way to add keycodes into FCP 7

Also, is the only option when it comes to keycodes, is to have them 'burned into the picture" during the film to video transfer.  

Any suggestions

Thanks
