New 900

Hi Jay,

I’m actually on the other side of the world, (Santiago, Chile.) But I am available for DP freelance work, if your camera operator doesn’t work out.

Regards,
Paul Thurston

Hi there

Just got back to Tokyo from US shoot,all went well with the F900,funny even without the shutter at 24fps there didnt seem to be alot of flicker off florrie lights(I put in 1/60 ofcourse just in case,and shot 1/48th the rest of the time)

Yes iam a DP based in Tokyo,re your questions.I would steer clear of Asia hire to be honest,they arnt based in Tokyo at all but in Bangkok,the address is an answering service and a few people have run into problems eg no camera at all.

Daily hire of a f900 is about $us 1,000 a day,but you,ll run into problems without a local contact.

You,ll be fine with the 100v lamps for your rifa,Japan is 100volts so a 100v lamp wont burn warm.

Thanks again to Paul for the info re shutter speeds

Sorry misread your message re rifa lamps.!

Yes your 110v lamps will be a bit warm,but not by much,but I guess 100v would be better.The plugs in Japan have no earth pin,so you will need an adaptor from US to Japanese…

And yes western Japan is 60htz and Eastern 50htz,so you will have flicker from florries/TV screens, if you are shooting NTSC in Tokyo.
