Has anyone advice or pointers to information on how to photograph video
screens?  I'm trying to shoot the screen of an SGI 4D/120GT.  I
experimented with a Canon AE-1 with shutter speeds of 1/15 sec and 1/8
sec and let it choose the aperature.  I was also using ASA 400 film.
The results left a bit to be desired.  I lost a lot of red tints
except where the color was solid red and then it stood out too much.
A lot of fine detail was lost as well.  I probably should've used a
lower film speed like possibly ASA 200.  I also suspect that the color
balance was screwed up in the development process and I was wondering
what I could do to prevent that in the future (I don't do my own
development).  Any help would be appreciated.
