im considering a project,
the building I intend to shoot in has already some lighting but its really dim.
at this moment I know that I will have 3 600w spots, a super 8 camera, tri-x stock (iso 160)
is obviously an unauthorized shooting, its kinda worrying me.

how would you you deal with the low light conditions ?
do you guys have any experiences with this ?

nevermind, the film is completed,
had no problems with my locations

I find Tri-X remarkably good in low light situations, its rated at ISO 200, not 160. Remember its black and white film so you don't need the 85B filter. A cheap video light or a 1M candle power spotlight with some diffusion on it should be enough to bring up extreme low light situations but if you're shooting during the day with windows or with some functional interior lighting you might be perfectly fine, all depending on the "look" you want of course.

My only complaint with Tri-X is the grain, it looks pretty sexy but sometimes its just too much, especially blown up or if you push process it. If you can shoot with an f1.2 or even better an f1.0 lens you'll get better results.

What I'm really curious about is the new Vision 200T and 500T negative super 8 film. I've run a cartridge of each through my camera in various lighting situations and am eager to get the footage back. If its sharp enough I may switch over to Vision from now on for my UE footage, though I really like the look of Tri-X and Plus-X.

Keep it up with the old skool gear. It suits the hobby.

tri-x is rated at 200iso when you're using natural light, 160 with artificial light IIRC, I know its weird but thats whats kodak says..

so we just shot the whole thing outdoor, turned out perfect.

the other thing that is annoying (unless you seek it) is the fact that tri-x is a very high contrast film, very few tones of grey, most of time it was either black or white.
