  1. Thank you so much! This helps a lot, and makes everything clearer. I'm really looking forward to do some testing. By the way, to be absolutely 100% sure, when you say "snip" and "can", you mean bringing the film and mag out of the camera, and cutting the exposed part out, and then rethread the film that's left, right? But how do you get it out when you're not pulling the film all the way through? Do you cut it in the camera where it's threaded? Again, thank you so much for your reply
  2. Hey, I've wanted to shoot on 35mm for a really really long time, and I'm finally going to do a project with it, hopefully. Therefore I'm planning to do a test shoot quite soon, and I was wondering how you may go about testing different filmstocks with different processing and so on. For example, I'd like to test out different film speeds, aputures, overexposing at different stops and pull process, and so on. What I don't quite understand is how you can do so many tests on a limited amount of stock. As you can only buy film in certain lengths, and the lab would only do one type of processing for each can you send them, how do you do it without having it be stupendously expensive? Do you use lots of short ends, and send each for a different processing? Do you cut the roll into to smakker pieces before sending it off? Or is there something I've missed? I can't see how everyone could fill an entire 100' roll for example for each test they do, and I've noticed some people do a pretty fair amount of testing prior to shooting, as that is indeed part of the cinematographer's job, as I've understood it. Thanks very much in advance
  3. Thanks a lot. I know at least one electrician, so that would be no problem. As of now I will probably be looking around some more for the lights I want, but you have really made it easier to search for them. Great to know that old lights will be just as great, only considering the more technical part of it. Also, I love the tungsten look as opposed to led so simply another bonus there. Thanks again for quick answers
  4. I was just wondering after searching a lot around on eBay and other secondhand websites and finding many different cheap lights, wether or not they might be fully functional and suitable for a modern production. As you know, new lights and lighting equipment are expensive, especially Arri's and other industry standards. But older used lights go down on eBay for dirt cheap. I am interested in all opinions on pros and cons with older lights and equipment as compared to new expensive ones. (Mostly considering indie productions) Thanks alot :)
