Re: [Frameworks] LED light kit for film shoots?
Perfect for a time-lapse Fantasia of cannibas in the growing room while the cute little mice characters nibble on the growing shrooms in the nearby room. The fun stuff though would be cinematically depicting their hallucinations. On Jan 6, 2012, at 10:24 AM, Tony Conrad wrote: On a tight budget?

It is the older style, Daylight balanced. There are several different kinds. Light panels also makes a version with the LEDs angled, this version is meant for studio lighting to get the lights right up against the ceiling and have the light not come straight down. You can also get flood and spot versions. The advantage of the 1 color lite panel, is that it can run off 12 volts, so an old battery pack, or even a 12 volt power drill battery if you have an adapter. Rosco makes a slightly different product - the light pad. It is very nice, although I find it about not bright enough by about a stop. Note the light pad always appears a little green to my eye, and the light Panel a touch magenta. You might also look at Smith Victor. They make a very nice Floro unit (2, 4 or 6 bulb configuration) Although not battery powered. I use the 4 bulb unit, it pulls 220 watts, and is a bit punchy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Oh it has a remote dimer - flicker free down to it's low light level 40% if I recall. Things is overbuilt and rugged, and seems to be the best of the low end floro units. -- Steven Gladstone New York Based Cinematographer Gladstone films Blog - http://indiekicker.reelgrok.com/http:// www.blakehousemovie.comhttp://www.gladstonefilms.com917-886-5858 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.comhttps://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/ listinfo/frameworks ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
The suggestion to use sodium carbonate (washing soda) is a good one. It's MUCH more economical than vitamin C as an activator, blends faster with coffee and therefore produces cleaner results on your film. I've processed a great deal of film (motion and still) with caffeinol (my most recent hi-con process was using expired, 12 year old 7378 from my freezer, and it worked beautifully). If you don't object to lengthier developing times, you can substitute the coffee in your caffeinol mix with anything containing caffeic acid...such as black/green tea or red wine (wine is obviously more expensive, but it's a great thing to try at least once. Just as with coffee, the cheaper the wine, the better the developer.) -- Forwarded message -- From: Jason Halprin jihalp...@yahoo.com To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Cc: Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 13:46:16 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm?

Re: [Frameworks] caffenol processing with 16mm
Hi Christine, the process I read about was coffee, vit C, AND washing soda, I'm not opposed to using all 3 but I think washing soda may be hard to find in southern california. Basically I want to shoot the hi-con and experiment with degrading it during processing to give it some nice brakhage esque texture; bubbles, scratches, i'd like to figure out a good technique for solarizing, etc. any recommendations? also do you order your 7378 through kodak directly, if so what's your contact. Thanks! -Carrie On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 12:09 PM, Christine Lucy Latimer christinelucylati...@gmail.com wrote: The suggestion to use sodium carbonate (washing soda) is a good one.
