Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

[sstark]

Hi Francisco, no my original post was to take an audio source (WAV or MP3,
or direct audio from a mic or line in) and convert it to an optical track.
This could either be exposed directly onto 35mm film (in the optical track
area) using a device that labs use,  or generate a digital image that I
could print onto the film using a 35mm film recorder that I have.

so the original poster idea is to convert the optical sound  track into an
image that could be printed on the frame area to be projected as a whole
image as we listen to the sound? is that it?

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

[sstark]

Thank you all for the suggestions of generating an optical track from an audio 
source. I like the idea of finding an optical sound camera (I do have a 16mm 
Auricon that would do this for 16mm, not 35). And the digital angle from 
sixteenmillimeter.com or Scott D’s suggestion sound interesting if a bit 
daunting (I’ve no experience with Processing). Anyway I’ll keep the list posted 
of any progress.

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

[sstark]

Hi Scott Dorsey, I am interested in your idea of a script for extracting 
information from a .WAV file and creating a modulated white line. I have no 
idea how to do either, though I do have some experience with scripting. What 
scripting tool could do this? How does a script read values in a WAV file?

 

Yes I’m aware of the frame line problem, though those of us in the experimental 
film world might find this “interesting.” 

 

Thanks! Scott Stark

Ahh, I get it, you want a digital image of what the soundtrack would like and
you want to plot it out as part of your filmout.

This turns out not to be an easy thing to do because of the frame lines...
it is very very hard to get the bottom of one frame to line up perfectly with
the top of the next one so there is not some discontinuity 24 times a second.
The Arrilaser recorder can do it, but they take a file that consists of 
frames and turn it into a datastream that consists of individual lines, and
plot a line at a time instead of a frame at a time.

But if you want to try it just to see what happens, it should not be all
that hard to write a little script to create two white lines whose width
varies with modulation.  Pull values one at a time out of a .wav file, 
use them to set the width of the line directly.

[Frameworks] 35mm opaque emulsion-less leader

[sstark]

Hi friends, a few years ago I bought 1000' of 35mm no-emulsion, opaque
leader, but I can't for the life of me remember where I got it. I think it
was some guy in Boston. Does anyone know where I might get more of this
stuff? It really has no emulsion so it can't be scratched off, and it is
quite opaque. Maybe it's used for a/b rolls or something?

 

Thanks.

Scott

I’ve used Denver Digital Imaging. Not necessarily cheap, but good work.

"PRESENTS FOR JONAS!" 
Microscope presents “Presents for Jonas”, a night of new film, videos, sound, 
performance, expanded cinema, poetry, and other presents made for the artist 
Jonas Mekas, who died on January 23 at the age of 96. Jonas believed deeply in 
the importance of joining together to share work, conversation, dance, song, 
and drink. The night honors his spirit by gathering together more than 50 of 
his friends and others, from New York and around the world, inspired to share 
their new works made for him during the past 2 months of our “call for 
presents”. The event is taking place on Earth Day, which we feel is especially 
appropriate for an artist who spent his life capturing moments of paradise on 
this planet. The event begins promptly at 7pm and will continue until all 
contributions have been shown. A pizza break will take place at the mid-point! 
Participants include: Lary 7, Peggy Ahwesh, John Akre, Riley Bartolomeo,

[Frameworks] WAKE AMERICA! Call for submissions

[sstark]

Experimental Response Cinema Call for Entries:
WAKE AMERICA
a two year year anniversary of resistance!


Experimental Response Cinema is now accepting submissions for WAKE AMERICA,
its third installment (F*CK TR*MP (2016) and TR*MP TH*S! (2017))
commemorating the inauguration of United States president #45. 

Once again we are looking for works that offer powerful and hopeful
resistance to the first two years of the #45 presidency, or that touch on
issues of immigration, racism, sexism, sexual harassment, homophobia,
religious intolerance, environmental degradation, corporate greed, Wall
Street malfeasance, gun violence, corruption, voter suppression, foreign
intervention in elections, defunding health care, human rights, income
inequality, BLM and more.

Cathartic as well as a call to action, this screening of short films will
address the current political landscape in ways both playful and incisive,
affirming creativity as a vital and necessary response in the face of lies,
corporate greed, bigotry and willful ignorance.

WAKE AMERICA will be screened in Austin, Texas on the administration's
two-year anniversary in January 2019. 

There's no fee! Just submit a preview link to Experimental Response Cinema
  by December 15, 2018.


Send your submission NOW
 ! We're very much looking forward to seeing your work.
