  1. I'm likely going to go for Rosco deep straw-- but then I'm concerned it might be too much. Will wait one more day and test a Full CTO and Medium Straw that a friend here in Vegas has (they are to small for the panel I will use but will give a good idea. I do want a rich "flame" but not overkill that ruins the mood. It should be dreamy, like in that picture I used above int eh example.
  2. Hello David. Appreciate your guidance here and was hoping you'd chime in. I guess I'm not going for realism here since this is the establishing shot of a fever dream and distorted memory of a man's childhood. I will have the camera set on a daylight balanced setting, but I want he light to be very vivid and warm, almost glowing, like firelight. I was not aware that gas lighting was cooler than candlelight. I'm aware of the variety of gels available, but have never looked at the options until recently and hope to choose one that more experienced cinematographers have used or can recommend. While looking through B&H's availability there options you mentioned, but would entertain color F/X gels too if anybody has a recommendation. I want to order this tomorrow by the latest.
  3. I'm going to be filming (time-lapse) a night-time sequence exterior at an old two story house in the ghost town of Animas Forks next week and will lighting one floor from within with an LED panel tucked in a corner so that only the lighting f/x illuminates the interior. This film is set in the 1850's so it needs to simulate gas or candle light. Can anybody recommend a color effect GEL that would suit this practical shot? The shot I'm going for will be very similar to this example
  4. I have a wrecked Arri 2C with a tweaked body but the eye piece is all in good shape and functions. Have no idea what it is worth. For 15 years it's been a conversation piece.
  5. I have several hundred feet of amateur color (kodachrome) 16mm from the 1940's of farmers in Iowa preparing cattle and farm life. Had them since the early 1990's.
  6. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292634184030?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Up for auction is a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens in EXCELLENT condition with clean glass. In excellent operating condition and ready to go to work. ---------------------------------- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens REVIEW The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is what I consider one of the most important lenses in Canon's lineup. Taking over the ultra-wide angle position of the available professional grade f/2.8 zoom lenses from the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens, the 16-35 L II becomes the new standard for professional and serious amateur photographers alike. I mentioned "professional grade" - This is a very high quality, solidly-constructed lens worthy of its L Series designation. The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens measures 3.5" x 4.4" (88.5mm x 111.6mm) and weighs 1.4 lb (640g). This is a very nice size and weight for comfortable, sure handling - the build quality makes it a joy to use. The large 82mm filter size is a first for Canon EF Lenses. High quality filters of this size are expensive and at this point, not shareable on other Canon lenses without a stepping ring. The larger objective end of the barrel reduces the handling comfort of this lens only slightly, but the improved image quality is definitely worth the change. Focus and zoom rings are well-positioned, nicely sized, smooth and well-damped.

Focus and zoom rings are well-positioned, nicely sized, smooth and well-damped. Of course, the high filter cost can be avoided by simply not buying a filter. But, the 16-35 L II is fully weather sealed to protect against dust and moisture only when a filter (typically a UV Filter) is in place like all of the other current-at-this-time sealed non-super telephoto lenses). Even though the extending inside portion of the lens barrel is gasketed, This filter is necessary to fully seal the lens. The lens does not change in overall size, but the inner barrel extends to its maximum near 28mm from its minimum at 16mm.

  10. Hello Tim. I'm thinking it's compatible with the 16BL as well but I believe they use different magazines. Would love to be sure so I can mention the 16Bl compatibility with the auction.
  11. Up for auction is an Arriflex Arri 16 Film magazine port porthole cover for old school Arriflex 16mm film cameras. *Not compatible with the Arri S 16mm camera https://www.ebay.com/itm/292581593087?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  12. Up for auction is an Arri Arriflex 16 BL Support and Carry Handle made for the Arriflex limped (BL) 16mm motion picture camera. Handle is used but in perfect functioning condition. It will snap onto the Arri 16 BL body and work like new. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292581478872?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  13. Have this Arri Mag Port Cover that I'm sure was for my Arri 16 M. Not sure if it is compatible with any of Arri's other old school 16mm cameras before I list it for auction. Can anybody familiar with the 16BL or Arri S tell me if this is compatible?
  14. Hey Brian, are you referring to the A7S II? I wasn't aware that the A7R III had that sort of low-light ability.
  15. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292562756948?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Up for auction is a Lomography Petzval Art Lens in Mint condition with a Canon EF (EOS) Mount. I bought this lens new in 2015 primarily to use on my western motion picture, "The Crossing." The lens has seen little use since then, but has captured some truly extraordinary images, both motion and still and even used it for a roll of color infrared Kodak film. This lens has been used lightly and has absolutely pristine glass. They are light handling marks on the barrel and I have tried to capture them in photos as best I could. Packaged with this lens are the lens itself, all the Waterhouse stops (f2.2 to f16), a fine presentation box. A leather carrying bag (never used), Lens cloth (never used), a very nice book "Lomography Petzval Art Les" that has great information about the history of the Petzval Lens and its inventor as well as instructions. There is the original warranty card and inspection certification card. Also included are a new and never used extra brass lens cap that was ordered special. I am also including two Tiffen filters, a 58mm Polarizer and a 58mm ND 1.2 (4 stops.) Both are necessary for outdoor exteriors when using the most useful Waterhouse stops, f2.2 and f2.8 Like I mentioned before, I used this lens on a motion picture and the mechanics of the lens made rack focusing truly simple and smooth.
  16. I think it had to do with it being shot by PT Anderson who is not a member of the ASC.
  17. I believe the D20 and D21 had a mechanical port on the side that allowed the operator to hand crank the camera much like you could with the Arri 435. I've been looking for footage that came from the obscure option but with no luck. Anybody in the know who has handcranked a D-21, I'd love to hear you chime in. Does it really look like classically handcranked film?
  18. For what I'm doing I'm using a Tascam DR-100 MK III. This is for gathering sound location recordings on a western film that have very sound. Echo's in a slot canyon. Mud volcanoes. Cool things like that. And stereo for these locations is a must. if I buy the NT4, Rode also makes a fairly high quality blimp and mount that is quite popular-- the Rode Blimp 2. It's fairly pricey but worth it if the microphone is up to snuff with what Have to work with.
  19. Anybody have any experience or opinions regarding the Rode NT4 as a mic for gathering field effects-- wind, thunder, general ambience? I need something long term, for most of the spring and summer, so renting is really not feasible this time. I know there are better setups out there, but for those of us on a budget, how does the Rode NT4 stack up?
  20. I think the original TCSM is a masterpiece. As well as a time-capsule like so many movies from the 1970's are. Real locations. Gunther Hansen who played "Leatherface" wrote a pretty great book about the making of TCSM. Fans of the film or low budget filmmaking should read it.
