Thanks, David. That's really helpful!

Hi all, I'm shooting a short film on 16mm (mostly 500T) next week and a few scenes require heavily saturated lighting (heavy reds/blues etc). I always struggle with measuring and correctly exposing heavily saturated colors on film. Does anyone have tips on how to correctly translate those deeper colors onto the negative? I want to make sure they don't come out too washed out, which is what I find happens if you expose them as normal with an incident light meter. Cheers!

Hello everyone, I'm shooting a commercial for a bicycle courier company next week. We want to convey the speed and ease with which the couriers move through the city through a moving and dynamic cinematography style. There will be a gimbal on a quad to follow the couriers around, some drone shots, a camera rigged to the bike and some handheld static footage following the deliverers around. It is my first time shooting something that is so 'action-packed' and I was wondering if you have some advice on best conveying (/exaggerating) the speed with which the couriers drive around. Any tips on wider vs longer lenses, shutter speeds, etc? Thanks so much in advance!
