[Frameworks] color filters
Dear, I play a lot with color filters in front of my 16mm projector lenses. The ones I use are cheap disco light filters from the electronics store, but some eat a lot of light. And the amount of light they catch differs. For example one stop less with a yellow filter, two stops with a red one and 3 stops with a purple filter. Is there a brand of basic filters available where every color filters out more or less the same amount of light? Thanks!

Re: [Frameworks] color filters
Hi Floris, take a look at this Rosco filter web page. It gives transmission loss in percentages, I believe buried in this site is a stop loss chart, but you'll have to dig around for it. Try Lee filters website too. All gels are going to have different transmission loss percentages, but obviously some more than others. By using charts such as this you may be able to find gels with similar transmission losses.

Re: [Frameworks] Is there any editing pattern on Critical Mass by Hollis Frampton?
I just tried this software! It is really interesting!!

Barbara Lattanzi created a software that mimicked the editing structure of Critical Mass: http://www.wildernesspuppets.net/yarns/hfcriticalmass/main.html I'm not sure if she based in on the actual source code of the original film or just made a representation of the experience. C Watching the film one could assumed Frampton followed a random process but i'm not sure about it. It's not random at all. IIRC, both the length of all the cuts and the advance between cuts are numbers of frames with some 'significance', e.g. I think the shots may all be ~ 40 frames / 1 foot. Frampton worked with algorithms, not randomness, but as a form of 'poetry'. Thus, a certain percentage of the 'art' is rooted in the nature of the algorithm, which is derived in part from certain non-obvious poetic associations... ... For another example: I can't recall reading anything about (nostalgia) that references the length of the shots. So one time I screened it for class, I timed them roughly with simple stopwatch. My conclusion: each shot is a 100 ft. load (I didn't examine close enough to see if they were loaded on daylight spools, with the light leaks at the ends then cut off, or loaded/unloaded on cores in absolute darkness minus just threading leader, etc.). This is not only a sort of obvious and convenient practical way to do the film, it also has resonances with the subject matter of Frampton giving up one art form and adopting another, memory and loss, etc. The prints burn on the hotplate until the film runs out. Any camera only holds so much, for so long. Etc. ... Also of note: working by hand in 'analog' media, Frampton was not ultra-picky about hitting any of his patterns EXACTLY all the time. Things will be off a frame or two here or there (and no matter how you load them, different 100 ft. loads of 16mm stock will yield slightly different lengths of usable footage). Apparently, this was not just the result of pragmatic 'accident' either, and Frampton introduced some of the minute deviations intentionally, perhaps keeping his 'human' hand in the game (?). ___ 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 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

I have one in great working condition, but I don't want to give it up. I could do a transfer or whatever for you though. Christopher Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Rogers network.
