Salut to everyone,
Here's me and what I'm interested in.
I've recently completed a Vistavision, 35mm 8-perf (24mm x 38mm) as opposed to usual 4-perf vertical, short film that is on the festival circuit. I know digital ccd's intimately but can't stand the flat, false space of digital images (video).
To get my filim out to festivals, I designed and built hardware and software from off the shelf components to scan 50,000 35mm frames at 78 lp/mm, the equivalent of IMAX resolution at full 16-bit color depth.
Most cinematic film stocks are Fuji or Kodak but I used a high-resolution, photographic stock.
For my next film, I want to shoot a feature, about 2 hours, on Fuji Velvia 50 or that homegrown Kodachrome. The color red should be red damn it. I'll need about 500,000 feet or 4 million frames.
The usual cinematic forums are all boring, talking about digital BS this or that, they show no creativity, no artistic vision. When I mention to light a scene like the impressionists would, no one understands.
Well that's it in a nutshell.
The film is here www.thejourney.ws or www.imdb.com/title/tt1377177
Cheers
