Re: [Frameworks] color separation filter -

2014-06-20 Thread J Vent
Hi, great thread!

I am wondering if this can be achieved with a digital transfer, and then
loading the digital file into an nle, or after effects for example.
Applying digital filters to 3 stacked video tracks and then using composite
modes to generate the unified color output. Sorry if this has an obvious
answer but I've poked around online, but can't find any info on this.

Re: [Frameworks] digital hair in the gate removal?

2014-06-20 Thread J Vent
Photoshop is sure fire but laborious. Try the wire removal tool in after
effects, we have had some success with that, you just have to do little
bits at a time. as it works best with straight segments. its at least a way
to minimize the work in photo shop. In photoshop use healing brush, clone
brush and spot healing brush as needed - frame by frame. Photoshop does
allow video now, but for really precise work we have found that making an
image sequence and then going in frame by frame with those tools gives the
best result.

Try AE Wire removal tool first though its often enough.

 Good morning - I have a Morse, well a Fairchild crank tank processor and a
 Lomo processor tank, I'm going to be processing with Arista E-6 in it, the
 chem usage/re-useage specs are for 36 exp 35mm film. Anyone have a clue
 about how many feet are in a 36 exp roll of 35 mm film?

 Directions say I can run 4 rolls in a pint of juice (x3 parts), 8 rolls in
 a quart.
 I'm trying to sort out how many feet of 7285 I can run in a given amount of
 chemistry.

 I guess I could run several 1 foot pieces in a scaled down amount of E-6
 sauce until it breaks down but thought some one out there might have the
 answer and spare me that step.

 Hello-

 Thanks for the post, it was nice to hear your thoughts.

 I am a film enthusiast as well, and I would also be interested in taking
 part in a community of likeminded artists.  I also make abstract, visual
 films that my parents don't consider movies.  I love Hans Richter, Maya
 Deren, and Man Ray films, among many others.

 I have a ton of gear, and I would like to make myself available as a
 resource for film-related tools, etc.  With an engineer friend, I custom
 build film-related gear such as interval motors, upside-down tri-pods (for
 correcting 8mm-on-16mm 4-screen effect), external shutters, external scope
 lens gadgetry, matte box masks, frankenstein optical printer hybrids, etc.,
 etc.  If there is something anybody needs, I am sure I can help.

 I also collect 16mm films, and have amassed a large collection, including
 about 200 amateur home movies that I would love to archive someday.

 For a while now, I have been thinking about trying to start a film
 festival that is devoted to filmmakers who shoot and finish/present their
 films on celluloid.  The Film-Only Film Festival, or something to that
 effect.  There are, of course, already experimental film festivals out
 there, but I don't think there is anything that is specifically, 100%
 devoted to the medium of film, as in celluloid.  Anyway, I think the idea
 could take off, and could help to provide a community that is supportive to
 artists who are committed to film.  Maybe this could also help fill the
 void you are speaking of, and connect likeminded filmmakers together.  It
 could also perhaps help to preserve the dying, medium of film - a worthy
 cause that I think a lot of people and institutions would be willing to
 help support.

 Anyway, if anyone thinks that this is an idea worth pursuing, I am open to
 collaborating, and building on the idea.  Why not?!  If we don't have a
 venue, I guess we'll just have to build one!

Re: [Frameworks] fast film

2013-03-11 Thread J Vent
Good Morning- According to Kodak they no longer make anything over Vision 3
500T asa rating and have not for some time now. Long gone are the days when
Kodak would/could reformulate almost any of their stocks past or present
for an extra fee.

http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Products/Production/index.htm

All of the stocks listed on the above link are available with the exception
of Color Reversal 7285 which was removed from production in Dec/Jan.

Since the vision 3 emulsion is so forgiving they rated it down from 800 to
500, this info from the Hollywood Kodak Student rep. The film can easily be
re rated at 800 or 1000 asa, however beyond that there will be a noticeable
increase in grain, particularly in the shadow areas. This emulsion holds
its highlights exceedingly well but by rating it 2 or more stops over you
will degrade the shadow or underexposed areas. This may not be an issue for
your project, and certainly you can alter the result with lab work as
suggested above. Vision 3 works especially well when rated down to 250, for
a stop of overexposure, this technique provides superior results and is
used exclusively on my Cinematography lab students projects. One light work
prints come out nice with this technique.

 No 800 speed color neg film has been made by Kodak for some time. And, as
 was pointed out, Fuji stopped manufacturing all motion picture film. I
 second Nicky's sentiment - rate Vision3 500T at 1000 or even 2000, and then
 have it pushed a stop or two. Or, shoot it at 500, and just have the
 print/transfer brightened. It has a huge latitude and can handle it.

 Back in the late 60s/ early 70s most TV cop shows included a trip
 sequence. The trend culminated with The French Connection 2 infamous heroin
 room. Most of those trips were more funny than scary
 Some TV series were a trip like Land of the Giants and Puff N Stuff
 (Which we 5th graders used to call Puffing stuff back in 72). Nixon TV
 press conferences were also quite trippy.

[Frameworks] Labs and processing

2013-01-18 Thread J Vent
In Los Angeles Fotokem can and does do most anything with film processes.
Yale Film and Video is also a quality lab, they do super 8 and reg 8 too,
as well both can do telecine/scanning at various resolutions. Both are in
Burbank Calif. and prices are as fair as you will likely find as they both
serve the greater Los Angeles production industry. Also, Fuji is still
making archival and print stocks if I am not mistaken.

Best,

[Frameworks] Optical printer

2012-12-10 Thread J Vent
Hello- I'm new to the list, I'm looking for an optical printer, JK/Bolex
type, in the greater So Cal region. Have experience on the thing from my
time as an undergrad at UW-Milwaukee. I need to do some 16mm work for my
thesis film. Any leads to loans, barters, rentals, or potential purchases
of a JK would be most helpful; unfortunately I can't afford a new one from
JK. I'm in Los Angeles studying at (CSULA MFA in TVFT)

Thanks,
JV

This one has a two part bleach recipe and uses D-19 as a substitute
for D-76

This one discusses using HC-110 or TMAX processing.

Good luck.

  Hi Paolo,

 Why not make some D-19 up yourself with raw chemicals? All you need is
 metol, sodium sulphite, hydroquinone, sodium carbonate and potassium
 bromide. Get the Darkroom Cookbook. Recipe is in there.

 Kevin

 Subject: [Frameworks] Hand Processing using D-76 for Tri-x (Reversal) 7266


 Hello there.

 My name is Paolo Davanzo and I work at the Echo Park Film Center. We are
 going to Vietnam to teach a film class and will be doing hand processing of
 BW Super 8 film. Normally we use D-19 but they tell us there is none to be
 found in Hanoi. But they have D-76.

 Does anybody have a good and effective recipe for processing Tri-X (7266)
 as reversal not negative using D-76? We are doing some tests tonight but I
 just wanted to get a good starting point.

 Thanks,

 Paolo
