Re: [Frameworks] Presenting a native ultraPan8 projector.
Hi Nick, your work on this is terrific! You might find original 'Span 8' cameras in Switzerland. Apparently a TV company was interested in it as a viable commercial format. Martin Baumgarten describes past uses of this kind of format in the end of his article here: http://lavender.fortunecity.com/lavender/569/8mmfilmgauges.html I tried it once too, but your's is beautifully sharp, mine makes really soft images.

Re: [Frameworks] Filming a film projection
Thank you everyone who gave tips. Sounds like I just need to give it a shot and try to match the speeds as much as possible. Amazing to hear you can do blow ups Graeme. I'll defo be asking you more about that in the near future! Between us we have it covered then because we can do reductions up here. cheers Mat On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 4:26 PM, Scott Dorsey klu...@panix.com wrote: If the speeds are mismatched, they will flicker at the difference rate. Try it yourself, stick a piece of paper in the gate of the 35mm projector, or a small groundglass, and look at the image projected where the film would be. With a 35mm camera that has a mirror shutter, you can adjust the camera speed and shutter phase so that the image in the viewfinder is completely blank... that is the time when the shutter is closed and the viewfinder is open comes when the projector shutter is closed. It can take some juggling to make everything work out right if you're doing everything wild... crystal sync makes this much easier... --scott ___ 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

Re: [Frameworks] Ektachrome or 16mm color reversal
Hi Presumably Kahl, http://www.kahlfilm.de/, is the place to go now, but Fuji still make Velvia right? so Cinevia is still an option. http://www.cinevia.eu/, I hope they start to sell it in 400'/30m loads.

Hello everyone, Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle is offering a commission to an artist or a screening collective to design and build the interior of their new auditorium. The artists' fee is low but there is a little money, travel and accommodation available for an artist or a team of up to 4 people to join us for a month and realise an idea with help from a large international volunteer labour force. This will need to happen over March/April time. The travel budget aims this at Europeans but we'll consider and try to accommodate any proposal we really like.
