Overview
The 16SR Book is a comprehensive manual to the world's most widely used motion picture camera. Designed for both assistants and SR owners, this book incorporates both a detailed guide to the Arriflex 16SR camera systems as well as a complete assistant's manual for prep, operating and maintenance techniques that can be used on most camera systems.
New York Director of Photography Jon Fauer details every aspect of the SR from lenses to electronics and to illustrate a variety of production solutions to problems assistants commonly face. In addition to sections on the SR's design, handling and range of lenses and accessories, he has included assistant-oriented sections with in-depth coverage on setups for simple lens tests, checking depth and collimation, marking eyepiece focus and video assist adjustments. The book features exploded view drawings and photographs of every SR component, an end-of-day cleaning and maintenance checklist, Zeiss depth-of-field charts, and much more.
Audience: Independent filmmakers, documentary filmmakers, music videos and students. (This is the most widely used camera at film schools.) Because of the vast number of accessories and updates since the first edition, and especially because of the information on Super 16, owners of the last edition will certainly want the new edition.
