    Great video! I sent Midwest Film Co a roll of Cinestill 800 and asked them to develop in ECN2. They were more than gracious to oblige and scanned it on their Cintel. The results were amazing, I am hooked. The latitude I had in the shots was eye-opening and they suggested I would have even more latitude using un-altered Vision3 with the remjet in place. Great people at Midwest Film Co & the results speak for themselves. Thanks for this vid, Ribsy.

    Timely release, thanks. I bought a 100 foot roll of Vision 3 and bulk loaded it into 20 exp cartridges. (personal preference).
    Question for you; You did not set the WB by picking on the border before inverting the tones? That's what I've been doing with C41 forever.
    I did buy an ECN kit from FreeStyle and I have 10 rolls of my bulk film to develop. I'm also considering REMJET removal with baking soda first followed by developing with C41, just to see the difference between the two chemistries.

    @TwaynePereira Рік тому +1

    Interesting process! The Cintel scanner can give you HDR scans. Theoretically you can get up to 15.5 stops of DR range from that ECN-2 film. I think the max resolution is 4K but it's plenty I think for still images. Here's where I think you can get really creative. Since you're using a film scanner, you can colour grade the scanned film in DaVinci Resolve. However there's a little math involved to get the right transforms in place. BMD has a pair of 1D Luts one that takes you from Cintel Negative/Print to Linear (depending on if you've scanned neg or print). Like with any scanner you have a DMin, which means your blacks won't be true black. Linear adjustments help correct for the scanners DMin. On the colour page you can make adjustments in linear or use a 2nd LUT from BMD that converts to Cineon. Cineon is like the OG gamma curve and really what alot of other curves are modeled after (SLOG, CLOG, LOGC etc). Once you're in Cineon, BMD has print LUTs that'll take you from your ECN-2 neg to a print, think Kodak 2383. Since you're using actual film, you can use any one of these LUTs at the end of your chain and then colour correct after you've converted into Cineon log space and before the print LUT (corrections made in Cineon).

    SIlbersalz in Germany is a great option for people who live in Europe!
    But I have to say, if you live in a popular city or area such as New York, I'd definetly look into setting up shop for people with in-house ECN-2 dev + scan setup.
    It might be a costly upfront purchase, but I tell you A LOT of people are going to be flocking to Vision 3 stock, especially with the crazy prices we're seeing currently.

    • @maxrownes7914
      @maxrownes7914 Рік тому

      To add to this also, I have found motion picture scanners to overall outperform even drum scanning (eg Silbersalz' 14k scanner)
      Of course nearly £80-100 might sound like a lot for only 4 rolls of film, but you're also getting 144 Raw 14k scans that just completly makes it worth it for me.
      We've all done it, shot tons of rolls of film, but never got around to getting them proffesionally scanned. Do yourself a favour and start getting them scanned as well as developed, it just makes the whole proccess so much less of a hassel in the long run for storing your images/portfolio.

    Great video! I really loved this and the cinelab one. Quick question, what would be the main benefit of getting Ecn-2 film scanned on a cinema scanner over a still scanner?
    Also, I notice that everyone seems to edit their vision 3 film in Davinci resolve, would that be a better option than Lightroom for cinema film? I’d love to figure out how to color grade stills like a movie.

    • @ribsy
      @ribsy  2 роки тому +1

      the biggest benefit for scanning is that the vison3 film was designed to be scanned by scanners that product log images. so its the preferred tool without question

To get the most out of a Cineon scan, your don't want to wing it by eye with tools meant for photo. It will look amazing out of the box with one click if you use a tool to convert the Cineon meant for it. Lightroom Classic can do LUTs, that would be better, just need a Cineon -> whatever LUT.

      @@ribsy Looks like Atlanta film co offers real ECN-2 processing for stills which are sent through the cinema processing machines at Kodak Motion Picture Film Lab in Atlanta for $10 a roll. Seems like that would be the only way to go when it is an option.

      @@ribsy Yeah, but they increased the price quite a lot. The morning they announced the discontinuation I order a lot, it still costs €33 for a five pack 120 then. Now it's €55. I can keep shooting Pro160NS and Pro400H for a couple of years.

    10$ per roll is nice, but 50$ for scaning and developing is a bit much. Although it is something special and unique.
