We will be away from our desks next week, so we thought we'd leave you with some highlights to remember the year that was.
The latest member of the VISION3 Film family is KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 5203/7203. The VISION3 Film platform is the result of a confluence of technical innovations that gives filmmakers greater creative flexibility and a better starting place for postproduction. Here, Kodak’s Product Systems Engineer Merrick Distant answers questions about the science behind the new film:
What are the new features of the new KODAK VISION3 50D 5203 / 7203 film? DISTANT: We incorporated many of the features that customers have come to like about our other VISION3 films into this new low speed, daylight balanced offering. The result is a film that renders images with similar color and contrast, providing more detail in the extreme bright areas and at the finest grain available. Improvement in the signal to noise (S/N) response over the entire exposure scale results in more usable detail at the extremes of exposure, a benefit in digital postproduction applications.
Of Armenian heritage, born in Baghdad raised in the UK and Canada. Now making a living between Toronto, Canada and soon San Francisco, California. After university I spent a year working as a junior art director for a small agency producing billboard, magazine and corporate press campaigns in Sydney, Australia. Truthfully it was a means to afford travel and experience…shortly there-after I left for Asia and Europe travelling with backpack. Lover of life, people, music, staying fit with Muay Thai Kickboxing, making short films, eating Pho & Thai food!
I make retro-chic super 8mm fine art wedding+lifestyle films at the company I cofounded MIMMO & NAZ INC.
Lola Video is made up of Gina (that’s me) & Josh (that’s him). We are a husband & wife team. I am the primary shooter & creative editor. As an artist loving different forms of medium, Super 8 film was a natural progression. I absolutely love its nostalgic look & feel as well as everything about it, right down to the sound the “vintage cameras” make when shooting.
Josh, on the other hand, is a music freak. He is constantly searching for newer up-and-coming artists for use in our films. Since there is no sound in the world of Super 8mm, Josh’s background as a DJ/SoundRecorder has become invaluable. Sound recording and capturing the audio from your ceremony vows is something I leave up to him. Then later, in the final edit I “sync sound” bringing the film & sound to life in a finished product you’ll want to watch over and over. Josh also second shoots for me and talks with prospective clients to get everything worked out in securing our bookings.
Forever Films, is a boutique wedding cinematography company. We are a company of working directors, cinematographers, and editors living and working in Hollywood.
Forever Films was originally started by Logan Hefflefinger, a film editor in Los Angeles. A romantic and artist, as Logan and his then fiance were planning their wedding he decided he could not bear to have a camcorder following them around on their wedding day. He wanted to tell a story of the wedding day from the bride, groom and guests’ perspectives. He wanted it to be beautiful and nostalgic. And so Forever Films began.
