Does anybody know if there is a Kodak negative film available that matches
the Vision2 movie stock ?
Especially its claimed latitude? I heard somewhere that it has over 18 stops
and now read an article in American Cinematographer about the movie
"Sunshine" and the Director of Photography says this:
"The blessing and curse is that today`s stocks are really good; I could
overexpose a scene by 5 or 6 stops and easily bring it back to normal
in the digital grade. When we wanted the image to really burn out,
I had to overexpose by 8,9 even 10stops to really burn the information
away to the point where we couldn`t get it back."
So does anyone know if you could overexpose a scene by 5 to 6 stops
on Portra NC for example and drum scan it and make it look normally
exposed?
I have only limited experience with Vision2 but I have shot some heavily
overexposed stuff and got everything back in the grade and thats without
compensating at the development stage.
