"Then there was an interrogation scene, again lit with the overhead fluorescent fixtures and a backlight through the window from the HMI Source-4"
Do you mean a joker bug? a a 400 joker through with a source 4 body?
It may have been a Joker 800 in the Source-4.
I've seen this thing in several photos, on film and RED cameras what is it.
That would be a cinetape. Its used to measure the distance between the focal plane and the actors, to help the focus puller judge distance during a take.
Thats what I thought it might be for, but its not on the focal plane Its attached where the matte box and lens meet. ?
It doesnt need to be at the focal plane. It can be placed anywhere. The display unit makes an adjustment for the distance it is off the film plane. The typical way to set it up is to put an object at say 3', and adjust the readout to match. It will then consistently add that adjustment to the readout automatically.
Thank you David for sharing your experience.
Julien.
Congratulations to you and the gang from Manure for making it into the Sundance Film Festival 2009!!
