Not as such... but you can make the stuff yourself if you like:laugh:

And someone who actually coated it on 16mm clear leader and ran it through a camera:

they do make a ASA 3 stock ... you would buy a reversal print stock and use it in camera .... you would have to do a few test ...
1) to determine the ASA ( could be anywhere from 1 -4 ASA )
2) to determine CC - i usually find around 30cc M and 10cc Y a starting point ...
kodak batches vary slightly on ASA & CC ....
you might be able to use a dupe neg stock ?? again you would have to test for ASA & CC ...

Hmmm... if you used Kodak 50D colour neg, you'd have to pull it 5 stops.
I guess you'd get pretty funky results, if any at all.
If you want the effect of realy slow film, whack a heavy ND filter on the camera.
Depending on the design of the camera, you might be able to put a ND gel filter in front of the gate, and emulate the slow film that way.
Lee make a 4 stop ND gel, #299 (1.2 Neutral Density)
This, coupled with either an 0.3 (1 stop ND, Lee #209) or a 1 stop pull would give you an effective ISO 3.
The alternative is as Donatello said, find a very slow dupe or print stock.
If you want to use ND gels for this kind of thing, just get a Lee swatch book - they're either free or very cheap, and the gels in them are about 1.5x2 3/4" each.

Why would one be using a flash meter with a movie camera?

It's a general purpose meter - It has cine settings and it is capable of metering flash.
Maybe Color wants to use it for stills as well as cine?
I know if I was looking for another meter, I would want it to be capable of measuring flash as well as ambient, as I do a lot of stills work.
