Samuel Berger Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 And I want to shoot my 3000 ft of film I have in the fridge. C Excuse me, sir, but what have you done for underground cinema all week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Nenzen Loven Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Excuse me, sir, but what have you done for underground cinema all week? Well, I was going to use some for a music video, but the director was sort of backing out when they realised I have no video tap. And that it would take Fotokem 4 days to process. So if you have any nice scripts lying around ;) C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Nenzen Loven Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Carl, please post a picture of your camera with all the stuff on it. Some of the Les Bosher modified Eclairs have been adapted to take rails. My suggestion to you is get some rails going and keep that Anamorphic adapter in place just like you would a matte box. On my NPR I'm stuck with a single rail unless I want to go the Kevin Powell route. I mean the adapter is a screw on. So unless I fit the rods tight under...it will always move with the lens...

They make the news, and decide to start storming real Hollywood digital productions. No budget allowed. Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell...I have shoot it and never gotten anywhere because the director is an “artist” that is never happy with the final work... But yes. It will happen.

That's why directors like that need angry producers. Add that character and production moves forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Berger Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Ok this is the procedure for using the LA7200 with a Canon film camera with 58mm filter thread. Might work out for you. The LA7200 is a 72mm thread, use a step-up ring for 58mm (Canon) and an additional ring extensionbecause the LA7200 was made for DV and the clearance for the thread is limited and wont fit directlyin the step-up ring, for the extension I use an old 72mm polarizer without the glass.Very important:1- keep the anamorphic fully horizontal 2- Adjust focus and recheck anamorphic lens position3- Avoid extreme short DoF4- At the begining of every shoot put a perfect circular object in front of the camera (draw a circle in the slate)this will be your guide in post for 16x9 correction In other words, for the anamorphic support get an old 72mm skylight filter, break the glass , cut away the excess metal ring in the la7200 adapter, screw on both parts, the focus ring of the taking lens will fit and allow to focus perfectly, just keep the adapter horizontal.

Carl Nenzen Loven Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I finally made a transfer.The Spirit Telecine was not having a good day, so I will go back another day to redo it. As well as reshoot it with more intersting lights to see the effect. https://vimeo.com/245083339/9f46ebd4ffC Edited November 29, 2017 by Carl Nenzen Loven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Berger Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Well at least you know the adapter works. Even if the image is squashed down a bit more than you'd want it, that can be fixed in post. I'm not loving the transfer, though, so I'm happy you're doing it over. Did you figure out focus pulling?

That is the proper desqueeze. 1.33 The spirit Telecine we have is old, so it means some artifacts indeed. But it won't be day/night difference.
