That's wonderful! I wish there was one near me.

Does anyone know of a 35mm rostrum camera still in existence in the UK? An Oxberry Master Series Animation Camera & Stand with a motion control computer system or a Crass table or similar?

And there’s a picture of Ray sitting on that wheelchair operating the steadycam. Wonderful, I’ve not seen that before, thank you for the link! -
In The Shining they used a lot of Steadycam. In the nineties I often worked with camera operator Ray Andrews who was part of that crew. The corridor shots are steadycam. You answered your own question in the last paragraph. You can use a long Jimmyjib on a dolly or even a Supertechno. Using a tripod on a spider is impossible to control properly. Wheelchairs are okay for some shots but you wouldn't be able to do a controlled stop like you can with a proper dolly.

Teaser for 'Tricky & The Cereal Killers', shot on Arricam LT with Ultra Primes. Set in 1990s London, the story follows a husband-and-wife animation team whose careers collapse overnight when new laws ban sugary ads targeting kids. Their mostbeloved creation, Tricky the Leprechaun, is left behind, along with their broken family. Decades later, their teenage granddaughter Charli finds Tricky’s old animation art in the attic. When she posts it on a popular short form video platform using AI tools, her viral meme accidentally opens a portal, unleashing the once-cute cereal mascots, now corrupted by AI, into the real world. Hope you enjoy.

In the near future longform storytelling could become a niche thing. People abandon cinema and home screens and instead get their entertainment fix doomscrolling through AI generated slop and mini soaps. That's already happening as attention spans decrease further and further. Is it inevitable? Who knows for sure. A friend who is working for a wealthy Chines producer just told me that his bosses have just abandoned their plans for feature film production and are investing heavily in vertical AI entertainment. There certainly seems to be a goldrush mentality which also partially explains why traditional production and distribution is in decline.

FS: Arriflex 435 - Singleframe Unit (RESERVED)
Uli Meyer replied to Atte Heinonen's topic in Cine Marketplace
Is this the 3perf or 4perf unit? If it is the 3perf one and your sale falls through, I am interested. -
BTS of my teaser shoot for 'Tricky'
Uli Meyer replied to Uli Meyer's topic in In Production / Behind the Scenes
I'm sure there were plenty before this one 😉 -
Last weekend we had a blast shooting the teaser for my feature length cereal mascot family drama. Just got the rushes back and they look gorgeous. Will share when ready.

I'm curioust to know why you think that a remjet layer will withstand thousands of feet of film moving past it?
-
Interesting, thank you for sharing the photo! I'll be shooting a short film in a couple of weeks and was told that the material I will receive is still with the remjet layer. I think it might be a little while before the remjet stock gets phased out. While that happens, they'll probably be running a machine that can process it.
-
I was told that less water is being used since there is no remjet layer that needs washing off.
-
According to my contact at Kodak it is.
-
No, the process remains ECN2.
-
Kodak told me that there are currently three feature films in production, using the new stock. One of those films is directed by Spielberg. There have been no reports of any problems. The development process remains the same, except less water to wash off the remjet layer.
