HOW TO LOAD A 35MM ARRI 435 CAMERA MAGAZINE | TUTORIAL 

Additional note: 02:45 *this is just relevant when you handle short ends, fresh reels don’t need a cut.

As I mentioned in another comment, I was a film loader many years ago. I was taught to never use the gears to advance the film at first, because chewing the film with the sprockets is a very bad thing. Gently push the film into the feed sprockets of the magazine; let the open perforation push the sprockets, moving the gear, until the first few perforations are synchronized with the sprockets. Then advance the film with the gear. Do the same when inserting the film into the take-up sprockets. This method makes it almost impossible to accidentally add a sprocket or two to the loop. Occasionally, one comes across a magazine in which the lubrication of the gears is too stiff, and so the film can't push the sprockets. This magazine needs to be sent back to the rental house to be re-lubricated.

Hi! I hope you see this message. I found this tutorial really helpful and will definitely use this if I ever get a film camera. However, would you be able to make a tutorial on how to put the loaded magazine into the camera. I saw another tutorial on RU-vid, but they didn't explain anything; they just recorded themself loading in the magazine. If you could make a detailed tutorial on how to load a magazine in the camera and explain each step just like this video, that would be perfect! Thanks!

Are you able to scan 400ft lengths of film in 14k just like what you offer for still photographers? Obviously movie footage is like tons of half frames, so it’d be more like 8K scans but I thought I’d ask haha.
