JB Earl's Lounge Discussions

To shoot high quality film I usually choose either; Panavision, the Millennium of a Platinum, or Arriflex , either the Arricam or the 535.

Everett don’t apologize for dreaming, its the very core of creativity. Judging by the responses, you are not alone in an imaginary world.

Shadow, thanks for being an experienced voice of reason. Pushing back against the impact of callous viral marketing and “internet wisdom” is pretty thankless.

Good morning JB, everybody. You asked for preference Everett, well, I personally love film, celluloid, that tried and true photochemical process that's been around for one hundred and twenty five years or so, whether its 35 mm or 16 mm it's got to be Kodak Motion Picture Film stock. For cameras? Has to be the PANAVISION Panaflex Platinum, ARRI Arriflex 435 Xtreme, ARRI Arriflex 416, ARRI Arriflex 16SR3. Of course we use digital cinema photography sparingly at DreamFactory Studios when called for on certain jobs.

An oldie but a goodie camera that still holds up these days. Aside from Panavision, Arri is the best. YouTube footage of the 16SR3

Kodak demo which the subject matter is a little romantic but you can learn subtle variations about film differences and terminology of Cinematography. https://youtu.be/lBd-OSJtc1Q
