Premium Member Bruce Taylor Posted April 9, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yes, 2 perf is back. It's real, even Panavision says so. It works great. If you're interested in more info, search the forum for "Techniscope" and "2 perf", there have been many discussions. It is a real and viable format with both camera equipment and post production support. I have a collection of 2 perf links here: http://www.indi35.com/2_perf_techniscope Enjoy.

Jim Exton Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Does anyone know of someone in the states who can convert a BL-2? I know Aranda does it in Australia, but what about US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bruce Taylor Posted April 9, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2009 Does anyone know of someone in the states who can convert a BL-2? I know Aranda does it in Australia, but what about US? The only person I have heard of who is actively doing 2 perf conversions anywhere is Bruce at ArandaFilm. His prices are very reasonable and he probably has more experience than anyone else. He also has an excellent reputation. There are 3 or 4 conversions of Kinor cameras where I know the owners and they have all been pleased with his work.

Bruce Taylor www.indi35.com Hey Bruce, Have you had any problems with "hair in the gate"? I know it's pretty critical in the 2-perf format, and wondered if you did anything to the gate in order to minimize this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted April 10, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 10, 2009 A hair is a problem for any gate. I don't quite get the dirty gate phobia attached to 2-perf. Pull the lens and check the friggin' gate every once in a while. That AC should do something for his pay other than complain about craft services.

I think it has to do with an old article about 2 perf when it came out in the '60s. No, I have had no clients complain of hairs in the gate, and none of the dailies I have seen have any either. There is nothing special in the camera to minimize this. Like Paul says, check the gate and be sure it's clean. But I like John's bald assistant idea best!
