[Frameworks] tri-x (super 8) - to push or not to push?

[Raymond Beluga Studio]

Hello Moira,

If you suspect the low-light footage is underexposed, I would definitely
push the film as Pip suggests, EXCEPT for those (mixed) rolls with daylight
footage, for in that case you would be pushing that footage as well, which
would turn out overexposed.

Cheers,
r.
