Dude, the sales pitch sucks.  It's like Steve Anker's play with the opportunity 
to write for Incite!  Everyone's an opportunist.

[Frameworks] CARAVAN: DOUBLE FEATURE live expanded cinema w/ van as film projector TONIGHT 7:30pm at Microscope Gallery Brooklyn

2014-10-11 Thread LBurchill
by Evan Dawson  Paign Phillips, admission is FREE

If you're in town, please join us for the New York incarnation of “Caravan:
Double Feature” expanded cinema and performance event by Evan Dawson and
Paige Phillips TONIGHT in our entrance garage (therefore rain is no
problem). Held shortly after sundown, a 16mm film of two wanderers is
projected via the van’s headlights by transforming part of an existing
building into a canvas. The film loops around the side profile of the
vehicle and the headlights have been replaced by projectors. Performance
intervals by the two collaborating artists change the dynamic of the
surrounding social space. The energy needed for the event is generated from
the car’s battery, while two bricks on the gas pedal keep the battery
charged. By the end of this trip Caravan will have held public events
in Columbus, OH, Matewan, WV, Philadelphia, PA, Washington D.C., and New
York, NY.

[Frameworks] Zoom lens and camera used for Wavelength

2014-10-11 Thread Jared Ashburn
Hello FrameWorkers,

I have read that Snow used a camera and zoom lens on loan from Ken Jacobs
and that the lens was an Angenieux. Can anyone verify this? I am
particularly interested in the focal length of the lens he used. I found a
history of the zoom lenses they made and think I can narrow it down but it
would still be a guess. Maybe the 10 x 12 (F=12 - 120mm) or F17 - 68 F/2.2?

Thank you, Jared.

Re: [Frameworks] Zoom lens and camera used for Wavelength

2014-10-11 Thread Scott Dorsey
In the early seventies, the 12-120 was the lens to have, and all of the
TV guys were desperate for the things because they had such a huge range
of focal lengths.  They were ubiquitous for a good while, but they really
weren't very sharp.

Angenieux made hundreds of different lenses back then... and some of them
were better than others but if someone said french zoom your first
thought was probably that 12-120.
