Fredrik Backar FSF Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I am soon grading the print for a film made with kodak 250d and the V2 500t 5218 on Hawk lenses. The whole film was shot corrected half blue, and it delves into darkness at 4stops under in a scene set in a snowstorm. A scene which will be brought up a bit to get a gryish mesh of action and an actress looking very ghostly amidst it all. There are also a few scenes that go to 4 under from normal to one under in exposure. Now, taking into consideration that this film will have a muted colour pallette and wants black blacks yet keeping slight defenition in the chosen 4under areas, is the fuji 3513 di a good choise?? I have no time for tests and have read about this stock leaving me with the assumption that it is my best bet as falling inbetween the vision and the vision premiere.... Thoughts?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted February 11, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2004 Fuji 3513-DI between Vision and Vision Premier in terms of contrast and black levels. But if you're answer printing, you can make the first print on one stock and then switch print stocks for the next one if your first choice was wrong. Will make the second answer print less accurate in that you will probably go to a third though. Or just get one reel printed on the different print stocks and compare.

Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted February 13, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2004 I agree with David that working with your lab to test the "look" of the various print options is best. For a muted color palette, yet rich blacks, you may find a "silver retention" print process gives the look you want. Here are the Kodak VISION Print Films: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/lab/2383.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/lab/2393.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/lab/h12395t.shtml And information about "silver retention" processes: http://www.kodak.com/country/US/en/motion/...sing/skip.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
