Hello,
I've just got some film back from the lab, and it didn't turn out. I'm trying to figure out why.
I shot black and white 16mm reversal film, using an Arri BL. When I got the film back, almost every single frame was black. Occationally, I have one or two frames which are visible and well exposed.
I think it was a problem with the camera's shutter. I was doing test shots, experimenting with various exposures of the same shot, so if it were an issue with exposure, I would expect to see some variability, but all frames are black. Also, the fact that I occationally get a single frame, well exposed and framed right between the two sprockets makes me think it was a mechanical issue.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any feedback would be appreciated!!!
