Kodak Lab London was shut during the first lockdown. They are running this time but with reduced capacity, as far as I know. There was a leaked phone recording from the Mission Impossible set where Tom Cruise is yelling at crew for breaking Covid rules. He talks about being on the phone to insurers every night to prevent a shut down. Stressful times.

Or because labs were shut during lockdown?

The new Mission Impossible is shot digital, not film 😞

No judder whatsoever on my monitor either.

FYI, lots of the gear Herman from Cameramarket is selling is owner operated.

Thank you both, that is very reassuring.

Apologies if this has been discussed here before. I searched but couldn't find anything. Is it safe to mount Quasar Crossfade tubes in a Kino Flo fixture using the metal clamps? I know that one can customize the Kino Flo shell using the Q-block-T12 mounting clips but it is a lot easier to simply use the existing clamps. I just don't know how fragile the tubes are. The second question is what dimmer one can use with the Quasar Crossfade LEDs?

Hey Jordan, Sorry, long gone.

Thanks David! Good to know for a future project set in the fog. I'll be using a fog machine but that Tiffen Smoque sounds like a good one to have in the bag.

Foggy day on Hampstead Heath today. Took the 235 and a Zeiss CP.3 85mm. Apart from a longer focal length, are there any other things to consider when shooting in fog? Any filters that enhance the fog atmosphere?

DPX files. At Kodak here in London you can ask for a "best light" scan, which is graded. I usually get a 'technical grade' or you can ask for a log scan which is flat. The dpx files are massive. You do your edit with a 2k Quicktime and export an AAF to conform the dpx files for grading.

There's one for sale here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARRI-ARRIFLEX-235-35MM-MOTION-PICTURE-CAMERA-2-PERF-TECHNISCOPE-KIT-CASE-SCARCE/193819167319?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 Very "ambitious" price tag as has been pointed out before.

Happy holidays! My wife loves Christmas decorations and nothing is safe. I wish all of you a better 2021!

Where's the grain? 😉
