Yup, same on the print I saw in York, too. Also very flat contrast. Super 16 blow job?

Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 02-27-2002, 09:54 AM:

IMDB lists it as Super 35.

Can you blow 16/super 16 up to 2.35:1 ?

Andrew Dunn BSC shot it using very fast EI 500 speed film. Based on the following quote, I think the low contrast "look" sounds like a deliberate artistic choice:

"We used it for interior candle lit as well as brightly lit scenes, exterior sunny scenes, and exterior dark cloudy rain scenes. It performed magnificently throughout. It dug into the blacks, even with a combination of a stocking on the back of the lens and a black dot filter on the front. There were huge latitudes and I loved the depth and creamy texture. It was like looking through a glass darkly at the shenanigans of a period between World War I and World War II, but in the same breath there is also a naturalistic feel so the audience won't feel too divorced from what actually goes on. All the action is seen through the eyes of the below-stairs people, and in particular one character who takes the audience on a journey, so there has to be a fairly subjective feel to the film."

Nice to know that you can see In Camera – Cinematography on the website. I use to look forward to the magazines which were sent to me by my sister-in law Ann Johnson now retired who worked for Kodak in Hemel Hempstead.

Just opened with Gosford Park, new copy and in fact a nice print. Hope to get reel 4 changed though as there has been some emulsion peeling on a few frames, also some scratch marks. The same reel was also photoguarded, so Technicolor must have had a problem.

Bernard:

Kodak also gave permission for Brad to post .pdf files of all the back issues of "Film Notes for Reel People", dating back to the late 1970's, in the "Manuals" section of Film-Tech.
