stacysound Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 How many remember asking the assistant to tweak the pitch because it was noisy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbiesodd Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 The sound is remarkably similar to a money-counting machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yes and the humidity of the climate also caused film stock to swell and require adjustment! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 And the pitch of the perforations and film thickness was slightly different between some Fuji and Kodak stocks. Good assistants knew how to make the adjustment. It was all mysterious to me, but wonderful when they knew how to work the magic. I've heard that Panavision has fallen on hard times these days, in ever-increasing competition against digital camera rental houses. Panavision still has a great staff and a great rental inventory, but times are very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
