       5219 Kodak Vision 3 500T
How I study Get the technical stuff in your system so you can focus on feeling and expression. In preparation for shooting projects on motion picture film I started to practice with stills. I figured it would take a few years from my first roll to really get to a point where I was happy. It started with testing the stock in different conditions, over and under exposure, and working out a colour grading pipeline. All of this so that I can eventually focus on a feeling without a limit in the medium. Personally, my tests are really meticulous and almost repetitive. Shoot, dev, scan, grade, take notes, repeat. A note to this, I'm also trying to take the attributes I like most in my film shots and bringing them over to my digital cinematography. Not always seeking matches, but trying to make the most out of each medium. Example being the Arri handling underexposure far better but film having a nice foggy look to the deep black point. I can use digital to see further into the shadows and then lift / fog out the low end to taste. -M.

Moments through the end of last year. Location scouts and exploration. Through the most challenging times and through the most awe inspiring ones I find I'm becoming more sentimental.      Lately I've been shooting more film. Along with that comes processing some of the older rolls I've had in my cameras. Here's a bit of 35mm Kodak Vision 3 500T. Shot this on the Nikon F5 with Voigtlander glass.        Kodak Vision 3 500T
Shot my first music video on these steps.              This is probably one of the last rolls I'll put through this Nikon F3 for a while.
Moving to my own F5 and putting dad's cam to rest for a bit. I picked up a home film scanning setup and I've been processing a bunch of shots from the past few years. I think I'm hooked. |
