As this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and you'll likely be overwhelmed with the logistics of using a camera you've never used before + a format you've never used before + a cost per second you've never experienced, my suggestion is to keep it simple and keep it meaningful. My suggestion for lenses.... Go to a rental house and tell them what you're doing and get their recommendations. I'd suggest lenses that are neutral in look, easy to use, reliable, and probably not too heavy / expensive. Perhaps something classic like a set of Zeiss Super Speeds (which were popular for a reason!) etc. My suggestion for shooting..... As this is a never to be repeated thing, I'd suggest shooting people and places and subjects you love. Not only will this be a lower-stress approach, but you'll end up with lots of images that will be relevant for the rest of your life, and perhaps longer for friends and family. Completely secondarily to this, shooting a range of different things will be fun, and it will also be great if you want to nerd out and pixel pee etc, as you'll have a range of different subjects and scenes.

some of the lens rental companies have ARRI standard mount for hire.Adam Savage from "Mythbusters "& explode a car ! has one of these cameras they have just had it serviced and will be filming on it soon.Kodak was kind enough to give them free film stock.

😂 no kidding right that thing is so cool tho

ok lol sorry, I'll ask... HOW was this made? like what ai models, workflow, etc.

As a poor independent documentarian, we might need to have a talk about the word "affordable." This 35mm film stuff is the deep side of the motion picture pool and I really shouldn't be swimming in it!

Looks like you are seeking 35mm ARRi standard mount .Many of these standard mount lenses have been modernised to PL mount, however there are still standard mount lenses around and more affordable than the same lens in PL.This one is US $850. There is also a 28mm in Schneider and Cooke Speed Panchro 18mm,25mm,32mm,40mm,50mm,75mm

Borisfx you say? Well, since this is a thread about editing, good spot to mention the old Media100. Anyone here know what I'm talking 'bout? That Boris guy was busy in the 1990's. Actually, if you want an old school editor, you can take a journey into the wayback machine and download his media100.com/ Along with the early and buggy versions of Premiere (you can't fault Adobe for staying true to their legacy), the M100 was the system on which a lot of early NLE adopters did corporate work. NTSC, baby! 1/3rd of a megapixel! And all of that plugged into a 68040 motorola Macintosh. BTW, similar chips are in my Amiga/Video Toaster, which I still have and still use it to play "Worms" on it as well as "Pinball Fantasies." My Amiga is right next to my Vectrex Video Game System that I got for Christmas as a 13 year old. Anyone here play Minestorm? Anyway, back to computers: the Video Toaster's NLE, "The Video Flyer," was the biggest POS to ever even try to call itself non-linear-editing. Their horrible attempt at it basically took a nail gun to the coffin of the company's, NewTek, earlier successes -- successes that started in the late 80's. Geeze-Louise, really going into the past now. [insert obligatory "Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk" joke here and also maybe the "Onion on my belt" Simpson's gag]

A time-lapse of the fuel price sign at your local filling station over the next month would be one for the ages.

35,50 and 75mm

This has been widely discussed before. It's not clear why the h.265 results are so different. Perhaps Nikon has some difficulty keeping the temperature down during long recordings with higher-quality noise-reduction algorithms in the thin body of the ZR? The large screen could also produce more heat. It's obviously something they need to address. Nikon's blotchy high ISO NR algorithms have been a problem since around the D5 generation (in stills) where it is clear that in-camera high ISO NR needs to be turned off (if shooting JPG, and if you use Nikon raw converter, also in that software) to avoid this blotchiness. The files themselves (without high ISO NR) look much better. To my eye the kind of noise reduction the ZR shows in N-Log h.265 look a bit similar to that Nikon used for very high ISO NR in stills. N-Log just brings it out likely mainly due to the user giving less exposure to those videos by following the nominal ISO (800 base ISO in N-Log), so the shadow NR becomes more apparent. Anyway, it's a bit strange Nikon has been silent about this so far.

Has anyone come across this one? https://borisfx.com it looks modular… but not cheap. The editor is essentially Sony Vegas apparently.

30 or more takes is probably not a good idea either !

I guess I just need to figure out a worthwhile story to tell with 1.5 minutes of film.

You only live once Fuzzy - not much use sitting in your rocking chair thinking "I wish i'd done that when I was a young".Some people pay 3,000 English pounds for a 30 minute flight in a two seat Spitfire ,I bet they don't forget the experience !

Tilta are also considering doing this in RF,Z and L mount.

Recently came into possession of this nice and functional 35mm 2C-BV ARRIFLEX. Before I eventually sell it I'm considering shooting a 200' roll to notch that experience; just to say "I done done that" 2 whole minutes of footage! What the hell. Ain't cheap, kind of financially stupid to do this sort of undertaking, but maybe ultimately worth the effort, I think? Anyone out there willing and able to offer advice regarding the lens situation with these old things?

Philip Bloom ended up purchasing the Nikon ZR mainly because the large screen makes shooting easier.Here are his tests comparing the ZR and Z6III & what are you up to Nikon they aren't the same !

Did PTools ever get a ROM address probe feature like Magic Lantern? This could be very useful in this day and age for a new adventure...

"How Another Man REALLY Shaped Wong Kar-Wai's Aesthetic // Christopher Doyle" is a far better title... ; ) (>_<) WTF Lies?? Well, I (try to) follow the point but perhaps when the verb is irregular instead? : X oh gosh Wong Kar-Wai’s directing is just something from another world (FULL stop!) ...for those who truly understand its meaning. Cinematography is part of the filmmaking process, no doubt about that, but I tend to see the other, more distorted side of the debate: those who overlook who truly shapes the work, when the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. - EAG :- )

Love your posts as contribution here BTW ; ) keep going :- )

does it work with zoom lenses.

Christopher Doyle what a legend and his movie making skills were virtually self learned/experience.He is able to film with fluid and movement with such heavy lumps of cameras ,goodness knows what this one weighs on his shoulders ! Our modern camera rigs are a dream -I try and keep mine under 2 kgs total.
