[Tig] colour to black and white

[Saiprasad]

The Arri can very easily shoot out on BW stock. it just needs to be
calibrated. Unlike the color calibration procedure that arri provides with
the machine, the method for BW is not as simple and straight forward
unfortunately. There is also very little documentation provided with it for
BW.

Having done that, it produces some beautiful pictures. Way better than a
color neg printed on BW stock.
