Raz Birger Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hello. I am going to shoot a very short clip on 16mm film which will be transferred by a Spirit 2K machine to SD. For outdoor shooting I plan to use the 7201 Vision2 50D. For indoor I am not sure yet, but I know that I want to stay with slow stocks. The Indoor scene is in a dark office. I want an old look and I don't mean old by grainy, but by the use of slower film stock and lighting it. I am sure you guys watched Hitchcock's Rear Window - I want the look like when Jeff (James Stewart) watch his neighbors in the dark room trough his binoculars. I have 4 500W Halogen lamps and my lens is the Meteor 17-69 1.9 (I am shooting with Krasnogorsk-3). Would I be able to shoot with 50D? or should I use some higher speed stock like the 7212 Vision2 100T (which is also tungsten balanced)? Best Regards, Raz Birger.

Shooting on a Tungsten stock lets you get rid of the 85 filter, which will make shooting in a relatively dim space easier. The faster the film, the more you can spread around your light, unless you want all the shadows to fade out, with the background in shadow.

Andy Karkut Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I had shot on the 7201 and it is such a sharp and *clean* stock, even for S16. I am shooting additional footage to cut with the 7201, and have been advised to use the 7212 because it cuts well with it. I will be shooting on this stock in a couple of days, and will report back on the results right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the blue 80A filter... Yes, if you have a tungsten lighting package, then you should look at 100T or 200T stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Charles MacDonald Posted November 7, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted November 7, 2009 You mean the blue 80A filter... Yes I do, The reference to the 85 was a "thinko" :rolleyes: . The situation is backwards to what would need an 85, and I seem to vaguely recall that the 80A has even a worse filter factor than the 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, an 80A is 2 stops, 85 is 2/3 a stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted November 8, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2009 I think you could do what you want with 7212. It's a very nice looking stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
