Hi Flavio,
I searched the internet for this subject the year before last,
I ended up phoning a guy who shoots theatre publicity shots in
New York, (can't remember his name!), to confirm findings.
He suggested Kodak 320T pushed to 640 or 800.
Unfortunatley my theatre photo call never came off so the film
stayed in the fridge until December last year. I finally used
a few rolls at the Millenium Dome in London. I was presently
surprised at the results, it might be worth a try to see what
you think.
There was an article in the UK's Amateur Photographer a few years
ago but they only suggested film speeds and the fact that stage
lighting is often coloured for special effects so a photo call
session is the best time to get "natural" skin colours.
Regards
Rob

Subject: OT: Theater photo & film choice
Hi all.
I'm reading on a new italian photo mag that Fuji finally released a new
Superia 1600 4-layers film. It's branded as consumer film, did anybody
got to test it? No data sheet available as yet on Fuji's site.
Others options are Supra or Superia 800 which I'd possibly try to push.
I'd like to stir a bit more argument about the unpushability of negative
film. If this is true why do film producers insist in giving pushing
info in their documentation? Come on, Sask. Bill, get eloquent ;-).
The last option is Kodak RG 1000. I used this in my last venture in this
field with good results. The promo stuff from Kodak says although the
film is for daylight it can be used with other kinds of lighting without
need of filters.
Maybe this is true for ALL negative films.
I already got some useful advice from knowledgeable people but I'd like
to have some more opinions, especially from those who did or do theater
photo (Brian?).
Thanks, Flavio
