Mark Dunn Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Probably a bit easier to check in the BL than in the Auricon, but even so I bet there weren't any hairs in John's gates. Edited March 15, 2018 by Mark Dunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Dunn Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I really don't know where that came from but I'm sorry you feel that way. It wasn't my intention. Just a bit of banter. It's an industry I was never really in. Edited March 15, 2018 by Mark Dunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Salim Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I was using An Arri BL , Yes on rooftop shooting Get Back , back of my head is seen a few times I was lying down on the floor in the front . Shooting handheld with that Arri BL & 1200 ft mag must have been a bit of a handful John ! How's your back ??? John S :rolleyes: Edited March 17, 2018 by John Salim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I tried with the 1200ft but it was silly so changed to 400ft mags . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Kipperer Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Was the camera you used there yours? Before or after the shoot, did you get to talk to anyone from the band or to the roadies, engineers..., the police that came up later on? Did you get any specific instructions on what to concentrate on, or did you decided for yourself what to shoot and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 John may have been fortunate, but BLs cost as much as cars in 1969 and they didn't get any cheaper. I have an Arri price list from 2006 and a 16SR was nearly €40,000 body only. A 535, €117,000. The era of broadcast-quality cameras costing only a few thousand pounds, euro or dollars is very recent.

John Holland Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Camera was not mine would never buy a camera . Well there was a sort of chat about what was needed , but shots were mine . No didn't talk to roadies etc . I think I was off to to Kenya the next day for a shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Keaton III Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 My favorite film, my favorite band, playing my favorite song. Holland, I am embarrassed to say how much I have watched this film/song and sent the link to others. It always leaves me mesmerized... their confidence Complete slice of history you captured here... something for the ages. https://youtu.be/NCtzkaL2t_Y 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Kipperer Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hey, another Beatles fan! One of my favorite songs and by far my favorite of their films, so much energy and this is such a great live performance! These might be shots John did, they seem to come from the right direction: See at 00:45, 1:00, 1:13... Especially like the fast zoom-out at 1:40 from Ringo, revealing Paul and John (Lennon this time), beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Ian Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 John, the rooftop performance is my favorite musical moment of all time, and it's amazing you were there to capture it. What were your thoughts as to the then-new music they were performing feet away from you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Didn't sound that new to me at the time . My mind was more on exposure framing thinking up good shots focus etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same footage that is in the new Get Back documentary?? I ask because onNPR this morning, they did a piece about it, stating that roof top set was just after what is in Get Back. The trailer looks great! Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they did to the footage in the new documentary is an atrocity. Everything looks plastic - they killed all the film grain. Low exposures have this weird "artifacty" look to it. Content wise it's amazing but in my opinion it's a complete disgrace to the original film elements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Miller Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) From the Arri 16BL manual, the 1200ft coaxial magazine. Its description, having "the same quick change feature as the 400ft magazine" and ".compactness" became passe with Arri's introduction a few years later of the 16SR. Here in the colonies I tried 7254 but in 16 it was too grainy - "Get Back" benefits from the noise reduction available with today's spot scanning. I switched to 7247 when it was introduced in 1974, and shot an industrial that was among DuArt's first processing it. It and 5247 were the first emulsions with T-grain for low noise.
