[Frameworks] 8mm movies in LA - rent, borrow, steal
Hey all, I am putting on a little event in LA for the next downtown artwalk with this cool little collectors/antiques shop on Main st. I am looking for some R8 or S8 movies - the kinds that were sold by the major studios and were usually either sections of feature films or short cartoons and what not. I don't have a budget, but I'm willing to spend a little to get them (but not enough to buy). Does anyone know where I can get some? Unfortunately, the Echo Park Film Center is closed for July and I can't rent from them. Much appreciated for the help.

Re: [Frameworks] Film about an artist
Although I haven't seen it yet- I've heard great things about Gerard Richter Painting as a look inside the artist's work. http://www.gerhardrichterpainting.com/ Mostly just playing now at smaller art-houses, but you can find out where on the website And, although it's fiction - Basquiat (1996) is really engaging and may be helpful. I've made a few short pieces about artists as well, and I think the important thing for me has been to find what motivates the artist in his/her work and then use that as motivation for the film itself. (Like if an artist is greatly inspired by nature - including that raw inspiration material into the film can give the audience a sense of seeing as the artist) Just some thoughts - good luck! I'd love to hear how it goes!

Chuck Kleinhans Since you indicated that you are still learning your craft and this is to be a short project, let me suggest this, in contradistinction to the fine (but feature length for the most part) films other s have suggested. It is almost always interesting to show the manual process of artistic creation. This also gives you a logical narrative spine for the film: beginning to end, inspiration to completion, etc. You can thus show the activity of art making and use a voice over from one or more separate interviews to inform in a verbal way. If the artist makes similar work you may be able to shoot at several different times which lets you cover something that may not have gone well in an earlier shoot. Especially for new filmmakers, it's a lot better to do a project about a repeated event (city symphony, etc.) that lets you go back for B roll, etc. than a unique event (the one championship game).

Re: [Frameworks] Interesting (?) Question
In 1980, an upright Moviola would have been all but worthless. Lord, those things were awful compared to a flatbed. A 6 plate Moviola flatbed in good condition might have been worth, I dunno, maybe $1000. On the other hand, used splicers and rewinds weren't that expensive in 1980 and haven't lost that much of their value. With that equipment list, the premise just doesn't work very well. The heyday of value for 16mm post stuff probably starts to poop out circa 1975, so it wasn't that expensive by 1980, and some of it is still used by people who deal with prints. By 2005, the character would have to be pretty dense or disconected to expect old 16mm equipment to have more value than it would have. People who work in 16mm in an 'art' or 'idie' context mostly had a good handle on the market, and were keen on picking up gear that corporate/industrial/education institutions were discarding in the move to video. I think your novelist may be off-track in having a 16mm maker concerned about the monetary value of gear. !6mm making isn't that much about the money, and to the extent it is, the money is in the film stock. The 'digital transition' as Frameworks so thoroughly documented, was more one of a felt loss of utility and/or soul, the tools are merely metonomy for an aesthetic, a method of working, a way of life. And the one piece of gear that embodies that is a Steenbeck (generally preferred over Moviola flatbeds by most makers AFAIK). In 1980 obtaining your own Steenebeck would have required resources of money or luck or resourcefulness. It's something you would have wanted very badly, been so happy to have obtained. A big thing taking up precious floor-space but treasured, cared for, and used intimately for hour after hour after hour. And then, at some point, (kinda 2005-ish) it becomes obsolete thanks to Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools and Digital intermediates and what not, and the Steenebck starts gathering dust, and stuff piles up on top of it, and then you eventually you can't justify it taking up the floor-space anymore. And since you were a film die-hard, by this time it's not just that you can't sell the Steenbeck. You can't even give it away. And it winds up on the curb waiting for somebody to haul it off as scrap metal. And it's your old friend. No, it's 25 years of your life. So part of yourself is out on the curb. And that doesn't really have anything to do with market value.

Andrew Lampert Curator of Collections Anthology Film Archives Do you have any idea what a new or used Moviola might have cost in 1980 or so? It's more likely that my character would have bought a second-hand Moviola, maybe one that had been used in the the 1970's. My character is going to resell the Moviola, along with a lot of other nondigital 16 mm equipment (like splicers, a synchronizer, rewinds) in 2005--and get a lot less money for the stuff than he paid for it. So I have to start with some reasonably accurate original price. ___ 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
