Re: [Frameworks] Converting digital video to VHS using Premiere or something else
Why don't you just downsample it to 480p? Just export it to a lower resolution. No need to lay off to tape, that's just crazy talk.

[Frameworks] Artavazd Pelechian, from „Beginning“ to „The End“
I recently wrote a post about the works of the Armenian film artist Artavazd Pelechian for the history-culture-travel blog „Poemas del Río Wang“. For those not familiar with Pelechian’s work, I hope my text can serve as an introduction and overview of his work, as well as his theory of „distance montage“. Included in the post is a compilation of youtube videos of his major works, in one convenient location. http://riowang.blogspot.cz/2013/08/artavazd-pelechian-from-to-and-beyond.html I would also welcome any comments and feedback, either as blog comments at Río Wang, or as a direct email to me. -- Lloyd Dunn edi...@nula.cc http://nula.cc/ ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] video projector in NY?
I have two upcoming showings of my films here in San Francisco. They will occur at the Emerald Tablet on 80 Fresno St in San Francisco. Part I will be September 9, 2013 and Part II will be shown on 9/16/2013. They will include most of the work that I have made since 1980. If you wish particulars, please email me off the list at domi...@cinemod.net As many of you know Canyon Cinema is no longer interested in distributing my films. They are now available through myself, the Film-Make's Cooperative and Lite Cone in Paris. Again send me an email off the list if you have an interest. Thanks much.

Re: [Frameworks] Converting digital video to VHS using Premiere or something else
Try to find an older, working VHS camcorder and tape it off your computer screen. Maybe your local media center, public access television station, school or thrift store has one in the backroom somewhere... although they're getting much harder to find working these days. Taping through the air will get rid of that harsh HD look more organically than downgrading on a computer or running through cables... and usually older cameras have manual image controls that you could adjust easily to get the look you're going for. Move back and zoom in for more softness/pixels. (HD televisions and computer screens don't tend to flicker and wobble off the screen like they did in the old days..) Then, play the VHS through a monitor and record it with an iPhone or HDcamera to get back onto an online format. Eliminating cables and programs all together will save a lot of time/hassle/money unless you're already set up for making transfers. On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 1:42 AM, Aaron F.

I'm all set up to do it but I'm in Oakland CA... If you send me a digital file I can output to VHS and then capture it for you.

Re: [Frameworks] Converting digital video to VHS using Premiere or something else
Hey Im making a stopmotion video using adobe premiere and it looks terrible because its HD and looks too crisp. You can see all the shitty blue screening and whatnot so I want to convert it to VHS so the mistakes don't look so obvious. If you want less resolution just to mask the mistakes, why not fix the mistakes rather than make it all look like mush? Of course if you want it all to look mushy, why work in HD in the first place? A generation of VHS will do many things, some of which you may like and others you may not. Choice of format is important.
