Re: [Frameworks] LED light kit for film shoots?
Hi, Guys I will use them at least twice a month on a shoot for either film or video (depending on what I'm doing). Lately I've been shooting a lot of studio music videos in dark, dingy cramped rooms. It gets a little tricky with hot lights dotted about. With all the musical equipment it becomes kind of a wire maze as well. I had one studio owner get quite angry with me for running the work lights indoors as he said they were a fire hazard. I had to turn them off and it completely ruined my shoot. I also do quite a bit of external work (last week I did a car scene which required a lot of extension cables to the house). I'm covering a film festival in march and there will be interview work there. So I'm looking for an ideal portable light thats safe, robust, flexible light that can run off a battery and I suppose doesn't look too DIY to provoke the concerns of a property owner. I'm basically looking for a well rounded lighting kit that can be used for a number of different applications. Renting them isn't so much of an option here in the UK. LED video panels don't seem to be around these parts yet and where I live (in the midlands) isn't really a video/film makers hotspot. I don't think there are any places to rent cameras around here let alone lighting kits. I wish there was and it's a shame there isn't. Brilliant idea for the post production colour correction. I cannot believe I never though about that! Still though it would be nice to have the original film at the correct temp incase I ever want to show the actual film and not a digitized version. And Scott! Thanks for the info and links, quite impressive results! It's a shame these lights are so pricy though.

I have one of those Litepanel 1x1 knockoffs, but it's a different brand:http://www.socanland.com/Product.aspx?id=56 Mine is bi-color, so you can dial smoothly from tungsten to daylight balanced light. I runs continuously on a battery for several hours and it's surprisingly bright. However, it does have a green tinge that shows itself more in scenes when it's used as a primary light. Usually I don't notice the color shift as long as it's being used as an accent or backlight, and I'm sure you could fix it with a 1/4 minus green gel on the light (like they have in that Ebay photo). Below are some frames from raw video footage. The camera's white balance was set to daylight and I was using a 2x1 ft Socanland Litepanel. So twice as bright as the 1x1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4257037/standard1.pnghttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/4257037/standard2.png (litepanel as a fill light) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4257037/standard3.png (no litepanel) Hope that helps! wrote: Hi frameworks, I have been greatly utilizing my makeshift DIY lighting kit over the last 2-3 months. It's been great for video work because I can just white balance and then I'm all set to go! I would like to thank those who gave me advise on the DIY kit again! It really has proven useful! However I've been asked to use film (not video) indoors and my DIY light kit isn't at the correct colour temperature. I will mostly be working with 100D and Tri-x film and was wondering if these lights would do the job: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pro-900-LED-Dimmer-5500-3200-Video-Photo-Lighting-Panel-/120837978333?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D120834418998%252B120834418998%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5396350441703662186#ht_5597wt_1202 I'm looking for a long term investment and LED lights seem to be a good bet as they are cool, light, portable and last a long, long time. I kindly ask you frameworks folks to cast your critical eye over the lights and let me know what you think. It's a lot of money to spend on a kit so I want to be sure they are up to the job!

Re: [Frameworks] LED light kit for film shoots?
I have a light panels 1 by 1. It is the older style, Daylight balanced. There are several different kinds. Light panels also makes a version with the LEDs angled, this version is meant for studio lighting to get the lights right up against the ceiling and have the light not come straight down. You can also get flood and spot versions. The advantage of the 1 color lite panel, is that it can run off 12 volts, so an old battery pack, or even a 12 volt power drill battery if you have an adapter. Rosco makes a slightly different product - the light pad. It is very nice, although I find it about not bright enough by about a stop. Note the light pad always appears a little green to my eye, and the light Panel a touch magenta. You might also look at Smith Victor. They make a very nice Floro unit (2, 4 or 6 bulb configuration) Although not battery powered. I use the 4 bulb unit, it pulls 220 watts, and is a bit punchy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Oh it has a remote dimer - flicker free down to it's low light level 40% if I recall. Things is overbuilt and rugged, and seems to be the best of the low end floro units. -- Steven Gladstone New York Based Cinematographer Gladstone films Blog - http://indiekicker.reelgrok.com/ http://www.blakehousemovie.com http://www.gladstonefilms.com 917-886-5858 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Perfect for a time-lapse Fantasia of cannibas in the growing room while the cute little mice characters nibble on the growing shrooms in the nearby room. The fun stuff though would be cinematically depicting their hallucinations. On Jan 6, 2012, at 10:24 AM, Tony Conrad wrote: > On a tight budget?

Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
The suggestion to use sodium carbonate (washing soda) is a good one. It's MUCH more economical than vitamin C as an activator, blends faster with coffee and therefore produces cleaner results on your film. I've processed a great deal of film (motion and still) with caffeinol (my most recent hi-con process was using expired, 12 year old 7378 from my freezer, and it worked beautifully). If you don't object to lengthier developing times, you can substitute the coffee in your caffeinol mix with anything containing caffeic acid...such as black/green tea or red wine (wine is obviously more expensive, but it's a great thing to try at least once. Just as with coffee, the cheaper the wine, the better the developer.) -- Forwarded message -- From: Jason Halprin To: Experimental Film Discussion List Cc: Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 13:46:16 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm?

Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
Hi Christine, the process I read about was coffee, vit C, AND washing soda, I'm not opposed to using all 3 but I think washing soda may be hard to find in southern california. Basically I want to shoot the hi-con and experiment with degrading it during processing to give it some nice brakhage esque texture; bubbles, scratches, i'd like to figure out a good technique for solarizing, etc. any recommendations? also do you order your 7378 through kodak directly, if so what's your contact.

It's not detergent. It is what it is ;-). It's used to soften water for hand-washing clothes when the tap water's too "hard".
