Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
Thanks for all the messages on here everyone. Unfortunately the theater here in town won't be able to do it, due to both the fact that IMAX Corp owns the projector (and the theater doesn't want to clean out emulsion bits, etc from the machine), and due to time constraints with the changeover, even if IMAX would be fine were fine with a dirty projector (obviously a couple emails back and forth). Alas. Great discovering a lot of your tips though. Hope this thread is useful for someone else who might want to take on such a project.

Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
I have never shot Imax but I have shot Todd-AO 70mm before. The thing about improvised 70mm stuff is that there are basically two 70mm standards. One has the perfs out at the edge of the film and is used for aerial camera work and the like, while the other has the perfs closer in so that there is room for sound tracks outside the perfs. It's traditional to shoot 65mm in camera, and then contact print the 65mm camera original to a 70mm print since the frame layout and perf positions are the same; the 70mm film just has a little extra on the outside for tracks. What this means is that you can't use existing aerial cameras or a Hasselblad with a 70mm back to shoot stop motion animation unless the camera or back has been modified to handle the narrower motion picture perfs. If you want to do hand drawn animation, though, it should not be too hard to get 65mm clear leader, draw on it, and have the lab print it to 70mm. FotoKem will still do 70mm printing and they might have some clear leader for you. Technicolor in Glendale might still. It would be great fun to try hand-drawing on the huge Imax frame. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
It won't be useful for the technical debate around the IMAX projection but in 2006 I suggested a game to identify the title of the film of a 70mm film strip. Every player received a postcard with some frames of the film as a gift for his or her try. Here's the explanation of it: http://www.visionaryfilm.net/2006/09/70-mm-of-sara-montiel.html El Lunes 28 de julio de 2014 22:01, Julian Antos escribió: You can theoretically run 5 perf 70mm on IMAX projectors, though I certainly wouldn't do it with anything precious (and pretty much all 70mm is precious these days) ... it would be a fun experiment though, you'll just get three frames at a time rotated 90 degrees running three times as fast as they should.

Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
You can theoretically run 5 perf 70mm on IMAX projectors, though I certainly wouldn't do it with anything precious (and pretty much all 70mm is precious these days) ... it would be a fun experiment though, you'll just get three frames at a time rotated 90 degrees running three times as fast as they should.

Hey Ekrem, I'm not seeing it on the online program (http://www.nyu.edu/orphanfilm/orphans8/ ) but I'm fairly certain Jodie Mack, possibly in collaboration with another artist, showed a 70mm direct animation film at the 8th Orphan Film Symposium in 2012.

Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
José Antonio Sistiaga made/painted at least two of his films on this format: "Impresiones de la alta atmósfera" and "Han (sobre el sol)". There is a 70mm print of the first one and has been screened (very rarely) at IMAX cinemas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqeKztwmBiw On Fri, July 25, 2014 10:12 pm, Ekrem Serdar wrote: > Hey Framers, > > > I'm investigating a possibility where we may be able to do a screening > with an IMAX film projector, and I guess I'm wondering if any of you folk > have played around with the 15/70 (or know of films that are on it).

[Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
I am very interested. I actually have a handheld 14 perf 70mm camera I would love to test out. Projecting 70mm would be awesome.

Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
Thanks for the tip Roger. I imagined if there were any that they'd be probably direct animation. I know Brakhage made Night Music on it, but I highly doubt it's projectable (or that he made a 70mm print of it!) That said, I also don't know how the machine would handle any direct originals to begin with. Probably fine... but also probably something worth checking. Commission might be the best way to go; though I do know that orphaned 70mm can be hard to come by. According to a projectionist I was talking to, fresh leader is like a $ grand or so. The couple theaters left that do show IMAX still throw their trailers out from what I understand (for scavenging), and you occasionally see one on ebay. A performance is a possibility too... Unfortunately, the timeframe to do so might be too short in general - I just learned that a very large theater here (the biggest in Texas!) is apparently doing the switchover this winter/spring, and I thought it might be a nice send off to that mechanical beast (if the theater is interested too). That said, it's unclear whether they're going to get rid of it, though considering how much space it takes up, I presume they will... but, as said before, all very tentative and under investigation. In general if any of you other folk have been playing around with it, have some laying around that you were thinking of doing something with and so on, be in touch.

Re: [Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
Ekrem, Here’s the only one I know of: http://www.ninapaley.com/pandoramahome.html Always thought it’d be great to give orphaned prints of Imax film to a bunch of direct animators to do as they will. Maybe you need to commission a program rather than just curate it? Good luck, R.

[Frameworks] Films made on 15/70mm
Hey Framers, I'm investigating a possibility where we may be able to do a screening with an IMAX film projector, and I guess I'm wondering if any of you folk have played around with the 15/70 (or know of films that are on it). As said, it's very tentative, and I'm sure there's only a small bunch of you if any, but if you have, be in touch. (or if you just worked with regular 70mm and it would work sideways(!) - I presume the film strip is otherwise the same, distance between perfs, etc? Not sure, feel free to correct me.) -- ekrem serdar austin, tx ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
