Re: [Frameworks] new critical studies film course in car culture
For Hollywood cinema at its worst, it might be interesting to look at recent blockbusters such as the Transformers series or recent James Bond 007 films that have inked product placement sponsorship deals with car companies, essentially turning the films into 2 hour long car commercials. There was also the short-lived BMW Films series that tabbed some respected directors to make short films that, you guessed it, somehow prominently feature a BMW. And of course the Pixar film Cars. I don't suggest these as good films, but rather interesting examples of how car culture, society, and cinema have recently interacted. -Matt On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Bryan Konefsky bkonef...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Frameworkers - I am in the early moments of developing a critical studies course that looks at different ways the automobile has been imagined in cinema.

Re: [Frameworks] Rear Screen Projection Rotoscoping 16mm
I would be surprised if anyone has much more than a hobby business offering such services. You'll either have to DIY or use a digital intermediate. If you're doing it yourself you'd also need to look into whether the filmstock needed for matte work is still available. Cineworks in Vancouver, and Northwest Film Forum in Seattle have optical printers. There are still labs offering contact prints. Cineworks was given a contact printer from Technicolor when they collapsed, but you'd have to learn how to use it on your own and lab services would be out of town or DIY.
