It's my understanding that to eliminate roll bar from a CRT or 'Tube' TV, one can use the combination of a 23.967 framerate and a 144º shutter. This specific combination, of course, only works with NTSC (60Hz) televisions only. The other PAL (60Hz) methods obviously don't pertain to my situation. Anyway, It just so happens I will be filming a CRT TV, however I own an Arriflex SRII which has a fixed 180 degree shutter. I am able to use a speed controller to set the framerate to 23.976 but that alone won't exactly fix the problem, but rather keep the black bar in a fixed location. I want to eliminate the black bar entirely. It occurred to me that this wasn't a possibility, until I researched the problem quite a bit and actually found out there is actually something called a Film/Video Synchronizing Control Box. At my first uneducated glance I thought it was some outdated equipment which was probably used to change the framerate of cameras before we had framerate controllers. Then the size of the thing struck me and I thought "Maybe this isn't simply for only framerate" because there's no conceivable way to describe going from a giant box to change the framerate to only years later the speed controllers we all know and love that can all fit in the palm of your hand. That's just not the way technology progresses. So after more research, and finding a couple instances of people vaguely talking about how they used to use these sync boxes 'back in the day', I seemingly submitted to the fact that this thing can actually do what it says. But I still just couldn't understand how people can make the claim that this thing could sync any camera with a CRT TV when not every camera has an adjustable shutter. That was until I found this post on here from back in March of 2018. This actually makes sense, given how cathode ray tubes are sensitive to magnetic fields. Now before anyone dismisses the Film/Video Synchronizing Control Box, I should probably point out a few ways I will not settle for fixing the problem. 1. No I do not want to green screen the tv, even with artificial light to suggest television glow. It never looks real. 2. I don't want anything shot digitally, especially since the cost of a digital camera is more than that of the sync box. 3. I can't afford renting another film camera that has an adjustable shutter for merely one or two shots. I have considered number one as an option in the past for shots of the television screen only, however one also runs into the problem of the glass reflection not being there. And probably the biggest problem is my idea of a wide shot of the actor watching the television from across the room, both the television and the talent visible in the frame. Now while real television glow is nowhere near enough for a key light, it would have still been present in the frame thus casting some type of glow that would reflect near objects, even the slightest bit. I went a little off track as I often do, so here are my two questions. How does the Film/Video Synchronizing Control Box actually work? Can someone who has used this before please explain the setup and operation in detail? If applicable to my situation I'd love to own one. -

Hi everyone, I have a S16 SR2 with the SR3 lens support system that has two small rods (see picture attached). I was wondering what kind of thread was needed for 15mm extension rods ? Would something like this work : https://www.digixo.com/audio-hifi/accessoires-video/smallrig/p380092-smallerig-1659-combinaison-de-tiges-filetees-15mm.html?affiliateID=300&gQT=1 Or do I need special rods ? Thanks a lot !

Vaccumate was one of those film preservation treatments they did back in the day along with Vaporate. This sample of a Vaccumate treated film is marked with a 3. Maybe they had different versions. It is all just guess work. I could not find out anything about either treatment. Although you can't see it in the scan, the Vaporate film did seem to have a matte finish applied to the stock. I did not see any difference to Vacuumate treated film versus untreated film. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.

In the old days we had to tone film / prints with chemicals and bleach. Kodak also made a line of pre-tinted cine' film and lightly toned printing papers. But...when digital came around it opened up the entire palette of colors to choose from to tone your images. Here are some samples of digitally toned images. This 2-inch-long piece of film was broken off of some nudie cutie arcade reel and who knows which one it was from. So, before trashing it, I put this gal to work for one last time and did some tests with her. (You will be seeing more of her down the road as I did numerous tests with her beside toning.) Full collection of toning tests below; including raw scan, full BW monochrome scan and warm toned versions. Digital Toning Examples of Cine' Film D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A.

If you have films with vinegar syndrome, they have to be stored open air. If they are stored open air, they generally stabilize more or less. And if you want to be sure about halting vinegar syndrome, you vacuum seal the film and freeze them. Nothing cures vinegar syndrome, but you can slow it down or halt it. These films shown have been stored open air for a few years. The previous owner stored them sealed in metal cans in a hot storage unit in L.A. for many years. Once they were aired out, they have not visually deteriorated further since they were stored open air. Most of the vinegar smell is gone; but if they are returned to film cans, especially non vented, the vinegar syndrome will start back up. Vinegar syndrome is caused by a lack of ventilation and heat. It is best to air out films on wire racks so they can breathe on both sides. Or you can stack them with a film core between the reels. The films shown are just a small fraction of the hot L.A. storage unit film collection I acquired, and I don't have room for that. But they have done OK being aired out as shown. You can flip them every year or so, but these have been sitting as shown for years. If you have your films in cans and they are acetate...you have to burp them once in a while to de-gas. When I first got this collection, you could smell the vinegar from across the room. Now the vinegar is 'almost' undetectable with the nose. Other reels still have a noticeable smell, but they have decreased with the vinegar odor maybe 85%. If your films are warped or start to develop flats you can reverse wind them. None of the chemicals being marketed to handle vinegar syndrome have done any good from what I can tell, and I've tested most of them, if not all of them, over an 8 year period. You can get PH / A-D strips to see where your films fit in with the vinegar syndrome. I don't use them. I'm not that anal or scientific. Film is just one small area I work in. Not enough time, money or space for everything. Plus, the A-D strips need to be enclosed in the can with the film to work right. These films will never be returned to a can, so the A-D strips are not of much use to me. But if you are of an anal nature, strip your films and chart them! I just use my nose. A-D strips are good to tell you when the vinegar syndrome is starting. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.

Here's my piece 'Luthier'. It's the making of a classic guitar by an artesanal luthier. Shot on Aaton XTR XC + T2.5 Cooke Varokinetal 9-50mm lens + Kodak Vision3 500T and 250D. Processed and scanned on a Scanity (4K) by Cinelab London. I made the live recording of the music in the theatre using a Rode NTG4+ mic into a Zoom F3 recorder. The music was composed by Jeremías (the guitarist/luthier) and is called 'Aida' named after my mother that passed away a couple of Decembers ago. The why: finding out this talented busker was also a luthier, I asked him to make a guitar for me with the idea of filming the whole process. Both the guitar and the 'piece' are intended as a family heirloom. I can't play a note myself! I want to pass the guitar down on the one hand and have the 'filming' as a testament to my 'art'. I hope you have a bit of time to watch the piece. I will be entering it into the very modest Gibraltar Visual Arts Spring Festival in some months time. If I win it will pay back some of the costs I incurred and that's good enough for me haha. Watch at 1440p on YouTube for the best quality! Thanks for watching if you do watch!!! -
What is the difference between scanners with Sequential RGB+Infrared color capture method vs a bayer pattern color capture method? I see that laser graphics offers both models and that the arriscan has the Sequential RGB+Infrared. What is gained from the rgb method ? -

Hi All! As a student, each projects means a way to stretch myself further. If I'm not trying something new (or a little bit scared) on a project then I feel like I'm not taking steps forward. Lately I've been doing pretty in-depth floor plans and 2D pre-vis, and it has been working wonders for every project. However, I'm still working to get exactly what I want in my head to paper, so that on set my images are not a surprise. Is there a way I can tell how many foot-candles a certain light will output? I'm wanting to essentially know exactly how powerful a light I'll need to expose to a pre-determined f-stop. I'm familiarizing myself with inverse square law, so all I'd need is an output at any one distance and could work from there. Is this just a knowledge gained from experience? Or is there a practical way to determine output? Thanks, Jake Mitchell

Hey all! Just finished the ASC Manual and there are a few spots that speak about "Ground Glass". From what I've collected, it seems to be a piece of glass that works between the gate and the reflex and often includes different aspect ratio guides? Can anyone give me a clearer definition? Thanks, Jake

From what I gather they are more or less the cost of a LG ScanStation...but not really sure. The website, while graphically beautiful, is hard to figure out. Looks to be German made. Has anyone used one in the US of A / or anywhere? I'm still holding out for a 'sampling scanner' that spits out a fast, short synopsis of a reel. (Along with gentle film handling Perry.) An example of a .20 second sampler scan. I don't remember the space between frames, but it is important. Maybe this sampler is a frame every 1-1/2 feet.

Hi all, I'll be shooting on the Arri 3C for the first time next week. I've done a little bit of filming on an Arri SRT2 and some 8mm - but no 35mm - and would love to hear some tips and tricks from other DPs who've worked with this camera, as there seems to be fairly little info available online. We'll be shooting mostly indoors (stock has already been chosen by the DP, I am working as the 2nd unit DP). From the sounds of it, it's a fairly clunky camera to use handheld - which is what I think we will be using it for mostly (shooting children). I have an experienced 1st AC, so, I am more interested in operating, or exposure quirks. Thanks!
