RE: Eclair Cameras: film

[Chris Leong <emotepix@artnet.net>]

Hi Julian

I mostly shoot without (85) filtration and rebalance for daylight during 
telecine. It's not 100% accurate, but it's more than 90% there - I'd say 
around 95% accurate. 

There's a special filter (I forget which number it is) that's specially 
formulated for this use. 

The main thing is that you have around a 2/3 stop extra of film speed to 
use, which can get you out of a tough lighting spot or two.

Don't forget that after the inital telecine and color correction, you 
usually get another go at tweaking the colors during the online or 
printing stages. That's usually good enough for jazz, as my old mentor 
used to say. Did over 300 television commercials and nary a complaint 
from a client.

Of course, on occasion, I have been known to warm up an otherwise 
unappetizing sunset with a double or triple 85...

HTH
Cheers
Chris
