[Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Does anyone have any expertise/experience around increasing bulb wattage over and above that recommended by projector manufacturer? I want to brighten a 24V/250W 16mm bulb setup, but I obviously don’t want any electrical fires or overheating internally. Is there a breathing area where little if anything would need to be changed internally that is safe? (And no, I don’t want any water-cooled, heat-sinked LED setup, already researched that and it is a bad idea on many fronts.) Thanks. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Well, what is the projector? For the most part it's probably a bad idea. One exception is that if you have projectors that use ordinary incandescent lamps, replacing those with halogen lamps of the same input power and adjusting the condenser and mirror assemblies can give you added brightness safely. But if you have a 24V/250W lamp like the FJL lamp used in the Bauer classroom projectors, you already have about the brightest lamp you're going to get with that input power. Have you considered upgrading to a brighter projector? There are plenty of the Bell and Howell 500-series projectors out there and they are bright and fairly light on film. The 300-series are even lighter on film although more bulky. Avoid the auto-thread 500-series ones, though. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] wireless transmission to phones?
The idea here would be to stream your audio to a streaming audio service, and the audience would use the app to listen to the stream. The big problem is going to be audio sync. Typically services like ustream the viewer sees or hears the content several seconds later. Even if you had the ability to stream the audio to a real telephone service, there would still be a delay plus the audience would be burning up minutes and battery life to listen in. In reality the best way would be to broadcast over FM. The problem is the most popular phones don't have an FM receiver though. There are ipods that have FM radio so that might address some of the audience.

I am planning some outdoor screenings and would love to have the option available for people to plug in their headphones and hear the show more clearly this way. It opens up the possibility of doing screenings in areas that have louder environmental (read: cars) sound as well. I am familiar with the mini fm radio transmission option a la Tetsuo Kogawa, but nobody regularly carries FM receivers with them anymore, and it would be nice to take advantage of walk-by traffic. Bluetooth is limited to 7 receivers I believe, so I was thinking of a live audio broadcast that people could find on the web maybe…? But audio delay is obviously no good. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks -- Bryan McManus *|* Filmmaker, Artist call 828.508.1129 write bryanhaysmcma...@gmail.com see bryanmcmanus.com ___ 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

Any titles that come to your mind? In the US there were a number of Hollywood films in the 1930’s that used sound film to make dramatic musical comedies using musicians and singers who were well known to the public from the new technology of broadcast radio often employing the “backstage musical” motif about a radio show: E.g.. The Big Broadcast. And the famous first music video when MTV launched: ”TV Killed the Radio Star”. Also in the narrative film vein, there’s the start of Renoir’s RULES OF THE GAME, the ham radio bit in Godard’s TWO OR THREE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER, etc. The connections are virtually endless: 40k’s cop films that show police using the brand new technology of police band radio to communicate; the trope of the late night radio personality speaking to night owls, etc. For Hollywood you can do a simple search on IMDB using terms like radio, broadcast, etc to come up with lists.

Does anyone have any expertise/experience around increasing bulb wattage over and above that recommended by projector manufacturer? I want to brighten a 24V/250W 16mm bulb setup, 250W is the max they make for 24V projectors. You can't get a higher wattage lamp. You probably have an ELC. It's rated at 800 lumens. An ELC-HL, also 250W, is rated at 950 lumens. The trade off is it doesn't last as long. Image brightness is as much or more a factor of lens speed than lamp brightness. It your projector has, say, an f 1.8 lens, you'd get a significantly brighter picture if you could find an f 1.2 lens that fits it. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Optical Sound - filter
Thanks, Mark! Really great stuff. Sorry I didn't thank you earlier (found these messages in my spam). Oy. Well thanks again. Hope all's well Jared On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Mark Toscano fiddy...@yahoo.com wrote: Jared and all - Most sound mixers will *not* take this into consideration, as making a 16mm optical track these days is fairly uncommon from the point of view of pretty much all professional sound folks. It tends to be something that only the old school film sound mixers and archivally oriented sound folks will even think about. What the sound house shooting your optical is referring to is the EQ'ing of your final sound in a manner that will help compensate for the loss of high and low end in your audio when it goes to optical. (It's usually called Academy pre-emphasis, and the 'Academy' part refers to the Academy curve, which was a standard set in 1938 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to help optimize sound for mono optical theatrical playback.) You can EQ your track to emphasize the compromised high/low end, which will result in a better sounding optical. Otherwise, the optical can sound a little squashed or muffled, though it depends on the nature of the sound content. If your track is already lo-fi, and intended to sound lo-fi, I wouldn't worry about it. This said, there's no standard formula for EQ'ing for optical compensation. In restoration projects (and some of my own films), I create an optical-ready version with John Polito at Audio Mechanics, and he tailors it beautifully each time to the track and its quality/content. And the tracks always sound excellent as a result.
