[Frameworks] A bolex and film in Delhi?

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

Would anyone know of a working bolex and two rolls of 16mm black and white
film available in New Delhi?

If you have any advice on how a cameraless film could be made, please also
advise.

Thanks!

Re: [Frameworks] Tri x reversal super 8

[Shumona Goel]

Thanks for all your inputs. We did tests over the last year, whenever we
could. But shooting a documentary, and here there aren't any labs (that i
know of), so it's a little less than ideal. Bigger challenge is the monsoon
weather! Thank you again

Re: [Frameworks] Tri x reversal super 8

[Shumona Goel]

Thanks, Jeff.  I'm using a sekonic incidental (analog) light meter.
If I rate it at 200 ASA Daylight, and open up two stops, this should be
correct, no?

[Frameworks] Tri x reversal super 8

I am shooting on super 8 tri x reversal black and white, stock number 7266.

Do i rate this in daylight at 200 Asa?

If i rate it at 200 Asa, do I need to open up any further than what the
light meter indicates? I am using a sekonic analog meter.

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festivals

[Shumona Goel]

I have begun to lose interest in festivals. I could be wrong but I have the
feeling there are too many festivals, but no progress for filmmaking. It
almost feels like funding has been diverted to platforms and access to
funding for production feels as difficult as ever. Maybe i am just out of
the loop, though. I hope i am wrong.

Re: [Frameworks] Hutton

[Shumona Goel]

As a student of Peter Hutton's, I remember distinctly, the first time I saw
Peter's films projected on film. The auditorium was full and remained in
pindrop silence through the evening length screening.

One the many things that has stayed with me since that screening, was how
he had shot a lamp post lit up at night. It was a long take, nothing moved.
I think there was some snow in the frame. He shot at 8 frames per second
and over time, you could see the movement of the light from the lamp post.

Amazing.

[Frameworks] Digital hd projection

[Shumona Goel]

Dear frameworkers, ,

We are installing a film in Cochin, India.

The film was originally shot on 16mm black and white.

We have been given an hd LCD Epson from 2012... But he image has green and
pink lines on all four edges of the frame

Do you think the year makes a difference?

Does anyone have experience projecting black and white film digitally in a
museum type of situation

Thanks for any help!

 Hi Shumona:
 I did it once for a film festival. and it works.
 you can try to use the software open DCP:
 https://www.opendcp.org/
 After you install the software you can follow the instruction tutorial:
 Part 1: https://vimeo.com/69174836
 Part 2: https://vimeo.com/69174837
 Part 3: https://vimeo.com/69176054
 Only problem will be that it is impossible for embed subtitles into the DCP 
 package. 
 if you don't need subtitles, it will be perfect to use open DCP. The 
 software is free.
 also you will need a good usb stick for the DCP, and a Linux computer to 
 put the package to the usb stick.
 because almost all the cinema computer is Linux system. anyway, if you know 
 anyone geeky enough to have a linux system installed it will be easier to 
 ask them to help after the DCP package is ready.
 good luck!

 I got a discount because they were offering everyone who was screening at
 IFFLA (Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles) a discount. If I recall
 correctly I paid $150 for the first copy and then $30 for additional copies
 (which was basically the cost of the flash drive).

 Hi Shumona:
 I did it once for a film festival. and it works.
 you can try to use the software open DCP:
 https://www.opendcp.org/
 After you install the software you can follow the instruction tutorial:
 Part 1: https://vimeo.com/69174836
 Part 2: https://vimeo.com/69174837
 Part 3: https://vimeo.com/69176054
 Only problem will be that it is impossible for embed subtitles into the
 DCP package.
 if you don't need subtitles, it will be perfect to use open DCP. The
 software is free.
 also you will need a good usb stick for the DCP, and a Linux computer to
 put the package to the usb stick.
 because almost all the cinema computer is Linux system. anyway, if you
 know anyone geeky enough to have a linux system installed it will be easier
 to ask them to help after the DCP package is ready.
 good luck!
 cheers
 Nan

[Frameworks] FONT options for Titles

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Frameworks,

We have recently made a short 16mm film / Super 8 too.

We are planning to shoot the titles with an animation stand this week.  We
have found the font options are very digital looking and wonder if there is
a standard font that used to be used for titles.

Sorry for the banality of this question!

Warmest,
Shumona

 Hi Shumona,
 I can’t speak to whether there used to be a standard font, however, if you 
 see a font that you like in a film, you can use a font identifier website 
 like this one: https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ 
 https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
 Just take a screen cap and upload it and it will give you a range of fonts 
 that are the same or similar.
 It’s my experience from having rephotographed a number of films from digital 
 intermediates that the harsh digital look of titles softens through 
 photography to 16mm or Super 8. For example, the title at the head of this, 
 which was generated in Photoshop and then rephotographed to 16mm (this is a 
 scan from 16mm). I believe this was in the Optima family: 
 https://vimeo.com/60809200 https://vimeo.com/60809200
 Another possible option would be to use traditional graphic design tools and 
 forego generating titles with a computer altogether. For example, you could 
 choose a font you like and search for a letraset sheet of it, etch out the 
 titles onto card stock and shoot them on the animation stand. I’ve done that 
 a few times and I think it’s pretty effective.
 Hope this helps!

 ah, and one more thing: Ramnord has the latest version of Cinevator, they

 I have not done that myself, so I dunno how it works and what are the
 requirements for your digital material. Also I dunno how it works with the
 soundtrack then.
 But the great thing is that you can get a 35mm Negative made, and from
 that you could get analogue contact prints made.
 Ramnord have made contact prints for me just recently (from 35mm print
 material via 35mm interneg) and they were also looking great.

  Hi Shumona,
 
  There are 2 Labs in Bombay, Filmlab and Ramnord. Both have Cinevator

 sync. Filmlab people are a bit hardcore, but Ramnord people are super nice.
 And if you have concerns about the quality: The have to send samples back
 to the Manufacturer of Cinevator in Norway. So its proper! I have done it
 just recently and it looks 100%. Also bw I have done. And the cost is
 really low: Setting up will cost you 5000 Rs, and then they charge 1000 Rs
 per Minute ().
  If you want to first see a test with a sample of your material, you pay
 5000 Rs. If youre happy and go ahead, then they will refund those 5000.
  I'm not sure if you do several prints, whether they give discounds on
 2nd print and so on... that you would have to ask...
 
  The person in charge is Mr. Mandar, he's a nice guy and he has worked

[Frameworks] Fwd: Experimenta 2013 Plea for Support

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

Please see the below email.

Thanks in advance for your support.
Shumona


I would really appreciate your help, and that of your friends, with my plea
for Experimenta here below.

I write to you now in my capacity as the Founding Director of Experimenta -
India's first and only international festival for experimental film. Now in
its eighth edition, this year’s festival will be held in Bangalore, India
from 27th November -
1st December 2013.

Experimenta India is a groundbreaking platform that has over the years
played a
significant role in countering the hegemony of the mainstream Indian film
industry.
Through nurturing an alternative community that reflects upon, and examines
the
different traces of Indian artists’ film and video, both historical and
contemporary,
we engage in a series of projects that bring together Indian and
international film
artists with similar creative and socio-political concerns. Besides curating
EXPERIMENTA, the critically acclaimed bi-annual festival, we also showcase
Indian experimental film and video at international film festivals and art
venues
like the Tate Modern (London), the Berlinale Film festival (Berlin), Images
festival
(Toronto), EXiS festival (Seoul) amongst others.

As we are an independent festival with no formal sources of funding, this
year we
have started a unique crowd funding initiative to bring together a
community of
individuals with similar aesthetic and sociopolitical concerns. With fund
raising for
an event/platform as cutting edge as Experimenta getting more difficult
with each
year, we are now looking to friends and supporters, like you, to keep
Experimenta
alive!

The organisation we have partnered with – Orange Street - is deeply
involved in
philanthropic work, so a percentage of your donation goes towards supporting
their projects for underprivileged children in South India, and an 80G tax
exemption certificate is also offered. Further information on this is
provided on their website. https://www.orangestreet.in/aboutus.aspx

I would really appreciate if you could support this initiative by making a
donation - small or large - any amount helps! All contributors will be
given due credit on our promotional material. Simply register here
https://www.orangestreet.in/projects/experimenta and click donate. OR write
a cheque and send it to the address below.
NalandaWay Foundation
AH-206, 3rd Street,
Anna Nagar,
Chennai-40

Please remember to send your address, phone number and email id along
with the project name 'Experimenta'. You may also write 'For Experimenta'
behind
the cheque.

Do check out the fund raising promo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLHqufk9nRkfeature=player_embedded

Also, it would be great if you could please promote this initiative by
circulating this
plea to friends/family who, like you, understand that nurturing the arts is
key to
developing progressive values in India.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Warmly,

Shai

Ok, I just wanted to make sure before shooting. Do you have a lab you can
recommend for processing 16mm and blow up to 35mm?  The blow up is not yet
confirmed (depends on sound issues) but would be good to be prepared from
now.  There are no labs in Bombay that are processing black and white
anymore. Had some trouble with labs abroad as well, so any reliable
recommendations would be helpful.

 You don't have to lose any. The 16mm stock will capture a full 16mm
 frame. When you blow up you can choose how you frame it - whether the
 image remains 1.33 with black on the sides, or if you zoom in to make
 a 1.66 or 1.85 picture with the top and bottom cut off, or if you
 choose an academy gate (1.33, but many projectionists won't have that
 gate and will cut off the top and bottom anyway).
 You should talk with the people who will help you with the blow-up
 before you shoot.

[Frameworks] Film about an artist

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Frameworks,

My friend and I are working on a short film about a modern Indian painter.
We have been commissioned to make this film, so we are struggling with a
number of issues.

Although the painter is a great artist, and we have begun to admire his
work, we would not necessarily make a film about him if it were not an
opportunity to practice our form (film).

I was wondering if you may be able to suggest films that have been made

[Frameworks] Pushing Film - Adjusting aperture

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

I am shooting super 8 with a Beaulieu 4008 Zm.  I do not have a separate/
external light meter. I am relying on the built in light meter.  The
Emulsion speed setting system only allows for 50, 100, 200, or 400  ASA.
If I set the Emulsion speed setting system to 400 ASA but I want to push
the film to 800 or 1600 ASA, how should i adjust the aperture so that it
would be accommodating for 800 ASA or 1600 ASA?

Many thanks,
Shumona

 Meter the scene/subject at 400 with the camera's master switch set to
 Auto, then set the switch to Manuel, closing the aperture one stop for
 800 and two stops for 1600.

[Frameworks] Super 8 - 35mm

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

I am shooting a film on Super 8, which I will ultimately blow up to 35mm
for projection.  I am writing to you to ask whether you may know how to
choose what Super 8 colour stock to shoot on.  I am curious to know what is
the apporpirate stock to start with so that I don't run into colour
correction issues later when I am blowing up to 35mm.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

[Frameworks] B W on colour stock

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

I am trying to print a 16mm black and white film onto colour stock because
there is no black and white print stock available in India, nor is there a
lab that would process it.  I recently did a test that had a strong magenta
tint.

Is it even possible to get a black and white image?  I am beginning to
wonder whether HD projection may just be the only route.



Thanks in advance for any advice.

Warmly,
Shumona

 Subject: [Frameworks] Travelogues


 Hello you,

 I am trying to pull together a list of experimental films that either fall
 directly under the category of travelogue or bear witness to travel and
 distance from a point of origin on the part of the filmmaker. These would
 not be so much ethnographic works which are part of a sustained cultural
 exchange, but films made as a result of the filmmaker passing through and
 acknowledging the looming spectre/problem/pleasure of the tourist film.
 Warren Sonbert, perhaps John Smith's The Hotel Diaries? I'm sure there
 are others...but can you name them?

 Thanks/Grazie/Kiitos!

Re: [Frameworks] MSNBC: Report: 35mm film will be dead by 2015

[Shumona Goel]

I hate to break the news - but India, may not be holding out for
filmI'm also not so sure about lauding the volume of Bollywood
productions.  Filmmakers working with film may actually have been better
off with fewer.

 You forget that the most films per year are made in the Hindi

 Basically, it is all up in the air.  For commercials, the writing is
 clearly on the wall, but we are not doing this for the commercials
 anyway.  It is just pure love of the medium.

 Cries of the death of film are not based on any empirical fact.

  I would really like you to be right and for there still be a reason for

 admit
  I don't know that much about theaters in the third world but I'm still

I'd figure it would be more likely small theaters in India would be
snatching up nicer consumer grade projectors from Best Buy Bombay

quality

I can't tolerate any more of these reports.  They are generally
based
on first world arrogance.  Little theaters in India don't have to
money to sufficiently cool digital projectors.   Here it is
certainly
the near future, but there is a wider world out there.

[Frameworks] Letraset

[Shumona Goel]

Dear Friends,

I was wondering if anyone has used letra-set to create words on 16mm film.
If so, I would appreciate your suggestion on font size.  Also, are there
enough letters in a packet to create sentences for 24 - 48 frames?

Many thanks,
Shumona
