Cale Boys Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I've just bought an Arri SR3 and I'm testing out a 400ft roll of 500T film, what's the best conditions for this type of film? Indoors at night under tungsten lights? Daytime whilst inside? Nightime in the streets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted February 18, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 18, 2020 You can use it for anything, it's the highest ISO available for motion picture film, so it's the "go to" stock. I use 500T for anything that has no sunlight. I use 250D for mostly everything that isn't hard direct sunlight. I use 50D for everything that is hard direct sunlight. They make stocks for pretty much everything. Think about shooting digitally, it's really no different. Set your digital camera ISO to 500 and shutter speed of 1/48th of a second and go around and take some still pictures and see if even can in the situations you want to shoot film in.

On that note, if I'm shooting say at around 75fps on a 400ft roll to test higher frame rates, how much footage would be obtained if shooting at 25fps would make 10mins worth on a 400ft roll?

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted February 19, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 19, 2020 If you shoot the whole 400' roll at 75 fps, that would last about 3 1/2 minutes (makes sense, 75 fps is 3X faster than 25 fps...) In 16mm, you get 40 frames for every foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
