[Frameworks] Film/Video Bankruptcy Auction Insanity!

2011-10-26 Thread Will Erokan
Greetings,
A friend of mine at work turned me onto this...
http://www.westauction.com/auction/all/id/626
There's a ton of Film/Video/Studio items up for auction, for another day or
so..
Cameras, Projectors, Dollies, C Stands, Lights, Rewinds, Tripods, Cranes...
You have to pick up in person, north of San Francisco...
I know it's a little ghoulish to be picking through the ashes of the fallen,
but if filmmakers don't buy it, it'll all be melted down for scrap.

In my opinion, Gaspar Noe's Enter The Void, is one of the elegant examples
of Flicker employed in an overground film.

 If I remember correctly, Andrew Noren's Imaginary Light (1995) has a
 regular flicker pattern for a substantial part of its length (approximately
 thirty minutes).

 Consider Andy Warhol's early silent films - the required projection speed,
 16 or 18 fps, introduces a slight flicker (very subtle in comparison to
 what we would consider flicker film). Warhol's strobe cuts in later
 films such as Nude Restaurant (1968) and Lonesome Cowboys (1969) are a
 different kind of flicker effect.

 I like the Newsreel Collective logo which appeared at the beginning of
 their films, accompanied by the sound of a machine gun - flicker in the
 service of the revolution.

 Brian Frye's Lachrymae (2000) is a nice counterpart to flicker films -
 as I believe Fred has pointed out elsewhere, the onscreen fireflies are an
 evocation of film projection.

 Hi Frameworks
 I was wondering if anyone has played around with back projection with 16mm
 projectors. I recently starting messing around with this and had some good
 results with a milky mylar or velum like material...but just out of
 curiosity what other materials for a screen have people found yields good
 results?

 Subject: [Frameworks] C-mount adaptor for S mount lenses

  Frameworkers,

  I own a few nice S mount lenses, that came with a Kodak Cine Special II
 that I purchased at a yard sale.

  They work quite nicely on the Kodak camera, but I recently saw a C-mount
 adaptor on eBay and was curious if anyone had experience with shooting
 S-mount lenses on a C-Mount Bolex.   Is there a loss of image ? Does the
 image cover the full frame?

  I'm curious, so I thought I would ask the experts.

  Steve Cossman

 They'll be fine, as long as it's a parallax Bolex, not a reflex. Lots of
 K-100s came equipped with some of those kodak-mount into c-mount lenses as
 standard.

Re: [Frameworks] Converting digital video to VHS using Premiere or something else

 Try to find an older, working VHS camcorder and tape it off your computer
 screen. Maybe your local media center, public access television station,
 school or thrift store has one in the backroom somewhere... although
 they're getting much harder to find working these days.

 Taping through the air will get rid of that harsh HD look more
 organically than downgrading on a computer or running through cables... and
 usually older cameras have manual image controls that you could adjust
 easily to get the look you're going for. Move back and zoom in for more
 softness/pixels. (HD televisions and computer screens don't tend to
 flicker and wobble off the screen like they did in the old days..)

 Then, play the VHS through a monitor and record it with an iPhone or HDcamera 
 to get back onto an online format. Eliminating cables and programs
 all together will save a lot of time/hassle/money unless you're already set
 up for making transfers.

Paramedia ecologist Gerry Fialka will probe Pokemon Go, the
augmented-reality cellular app, as projection performance art. Survey "live
cinema" from its roots in Gesamtkunstwerk (total art work) to what Francis
Ford Coppola teaches as the multimedia genre merging theater, movie making
and live televised streaming. Many variations span from Shakespeare's "All
the world's a stage" to McLuhan's "Global Theatre."

We'll delve deep into topics like *Expanded Cinema*, psychogeography,
Marshall McLuhan, Jane Jacobs, the Situationists, Bunuel's *Land Without
Bread*, and James Joyce. Joyce invented cyberspace and disguised it as a
book, *Finnegans Wake*, where he wrote: "Where the hand of man never set
foot."

We'll review McLuhan's Menippean satirized percepts:
- "We shape our tools, then they shape us."- "How about technologies as the
collective unconscious and art as the collective unconsciousness?-
"Everybody experiences far more than he understands. Yet it is experience,
rather than understanding, that influences behavior."
We'll explore the hidden psychic effects of cell phones and Pokemon Go,
urban and country environments, and sense-ratio-shifting.
Are we wandering about like post-post-modern flaneurs?
Are we being played by Pavlovian prompts?
How can we reimagine meta-analysis of Free will and Determinism?
What are the services and disservices of reward systems?
What is the difference between consciousness and experience?

"As this modern digital Dark Age of technological advances threatens to
drive physical film stock itself -- the very stuff from which dreams are
made -- into extinction, this evening of *Genuine Fake Films by Gerry
Fialka* couldn't come at a more propitious moment. One of Los Angeles'
great celluloid underworld overlords, relentless cultural provocateur and
filmmaker Fialka has been successfully bedeviling our popular consciousness
since the late 20th century. A recognized artistic force since his early
1970s breakout as head

More info: http://laughtears.com/broside.html

*The Brother Side of the Wake (BroSide)* is Gerry Fialka's experimental
documentary with Venice, California, as its main character. A remake of the
soon-to-be-released Orson Welles film *The Other Side of the Wind, *it
evokes the rascality of the *Our Gang* comedies, and it probes the cliché: "*Is
the journey more important than the destination?" *

*BroSide* wakes up the psychic effects of direct cinema, abstract
animation, and films about films. It was shot in various formats including
Super 8mm, Pixelvision, digital video, cell phone and hand-painted
celluloid. Now in its third test screening, *BroSide* will involve the
audience in call-and-responses, much like a community, out-loud
reading of James
Joyce's *Finnegans Wake*. *BroSide* can empower the audience to go out,
have fun, and do their own thing.

"Film historian Fialka's first feature is a faux faux 'lemon' of a movie.
His lifelong studies has enabled him to find the 'loopholes' leaking out of the
mainstream. *BroSide* is not released. It has escaped." - Hank Rosenfeld,
author/folk journalist

I run an experimental cable access show called Here Comes Everybody. We
screen in a number of cities* across the US, and we don't have submission
fees.
Please, do not hesitate to submit work.. Due to time restrictions we'd have
a hard time screening anything longer than 28 minutes, ideally we're
looking for pieces 0-10 minutes in length.
You can find our episodes archived on youtube here..

Send your links to hcet...@gmail.com

Likewise, if you're connected to a PEG channel and you'd like to run our
show.. Please let me know and I can start delivering episodes immediately.
