I'd suggest either a Double CTO or millennium gold if you're really trying to push the orange saturation. At times is can almost look red, so be careful if you're trying to keep it strong orange.

 

158 Deep Orange might also be a great one for you.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Excellent. Thanks Mark.

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.

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

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?

Low light would be the A7 strengths, it has been used in Brian Cox documentaries on the BBC with the Northern Lights and stars in the night sky as he does a piece to camera.

Hey Brian, are you referring to the A7S II? I wasn't aware that the A7R III had that sort of low-light ability.

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.

I think it had to do with it being shot by PT Anderson who is not a member of the ASC.

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?

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.

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?

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.
