Hey Jorge I have shot a lot of 16mm ektachrome and just make sure your over expose it and over light it Obviously since its reversal it just has no wiggle room you pretty much have to get it like you want it if you want a more esthetic look then embrace the darkness of the shadows

i have looked at a few sources online detailing how to pull off installing a tap for my zm4 anyone have any experience with adding a tap to a super 8

Hello, I am starting to acquire lighting equipment for my production company. Usually I rent from local places but i want to own some equipment so i can really just pick up and go. Im looking for some advice on a lower-budget for lighting set ups that have worked for you Just fyi i shoot on super 8 and 16mm exclusively so that's what this equipment will be used for. I shoot a lot at night and love street lighting - indoors i shoot a lot in big industrial spaces I am certainly no expert in this field, but so far i have acquired some equipment (not a lot but a start) -Arri Fresnel Kit 150 300 650 I love tungsten lighting have used it a lot on my films but usually when rented i also rent the chimera boxes and buying them is way to expensive. are there any alternatives? In the future i want to buy a baby and a junior and have some lined up but i know i would need softboxes so I'm apprehensive (side complete question - there is someone selling an arri 4k fresnel that they found in an auctioned storage locker - how would i run that light? standard american outlets cant run it i dont think and i have a generator but its only rated 3500 watts) -Nanlite Pavotube 15x I bought the pavotubes for practical lighting and also more stylistic stuff for close ups like moonlighting and that extra touch. but i know they really arent gonna provide my the night time help i need -Ryobi Work Light I am using a work light for portable led light right now because for $180 i got the light and two spare batteries that run up to six hours at full power. This is a good solution right now because the light has panels which make it better for using/clipping diffusers on and is dimmable from 3k lumens to 2k to 1k. Any suggestions on led lights to upgrade my set up on a budget? When i rented lights i would rent a pair of Astra x6 LED panels and those were amazing because they are dimmable, color controllable, and have softbox attachments - but each light + battery is $2500 so not an option haha Basically this is my set up right now but im looking for advice on how to elevate it, more equipment i can add, or suggestions on how to use any of it. Also looking for advice and products i can buy to elevate the use of the equipment i already have like softboxes, bounces, etc thank you

Hello I recently just purchased a 4008 ZM4 with the Optivaron 1.4 6-70mm lense. I bought the camera for its manual frame rate, ASA controls, and because it’s one of the gods (the god imo because i prefer older optics). Anyways I have some questions i can’t find anywhere maybe someone will be able to help: 1: i’ve read in two places rather briefly that if you were to turn frame nob while shooting it would frame ramp and auto expose - this seems rather difficult and maybe not true but would be amazing if true 2: My cameras 85 filter has been disabled. While talking with the seller he was explaining to me how this lense also has a filter built into it with a switch but i can’t find anything on the internet about this 3: There is a lot of confusing information about which C-Mount lenses can be attached as is. i know that there was mention of not being to use ones that go to cctv and ones that pertrude past the mount so i understand but does anyone have a list of lenses that will work? looking for more experimental lenses 4: I know my camera has a varying shutter degree angle but i don’t know how to actually vary it. Does anyone have any idea? 5 Looking for any suggestions anyone might have about how i should use this camera and advice with shooting manual Those are my questions for now hope someone has some ideas ? I have been shooting on super 8 for about three years and it is a great medium for my music videos. i have been shooting on Bauer C series and they have been good to me but i have had two give out on me so i decided to upgrade heres a link to a video i shot recently to get the vibe https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hjMUgTXtvNw i just directed a feature called “Heal Us” shot on 16mm on the Arri Sr3 w Angenieux zoom lense and am looking to shoot my next short film on the ZM4 so all of your input will go to some great film making thank you ernest
