Re: [Frameworks] Bolex Repair

Christophe Goulard is the Paris Bolex wizard. He can fix any problem or replace any part, usually, and his price is very fair, however he is swamped with cameras and other projects so sometimes he does not take on new repair jobs and it can take time because he is a perfectionist. He can be

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

It’s easy enough to use a real optical sound camera (assuming you have done all the cross-mod tests and printing and developing and density tests…) and yes you can get them for free, but I think Scott’s project is not to use a traditional lab camera with sound stock but to use alternate and

In fact, Teiji Ito knew Haiti well. He traveled to Haiti with Maya in 1955 and studied drumming there. He made the wire recordings for the film’s soundtrack. He returned there several times with his fourth wife Cherel. They edited the film together. Teiji even died in Haiti: Cherel described to

Re: [Frameworks] when was the film splicer invented?

Razor blades were used to edit video tape in the early days of video editing for broadcast, especially 2-inch quad and 1-inch tape. The cut had to be made on a diagonal to avoid a roll bar. Some people (now old-timers) were very good at it. Linear editing was made by dubbing from tape to tape

Re: [Frameworks] How do people encode DVDs for international distribution? NTSC / PAL?

Dear Taka, For your films in distribution for public screening (16mm prints at Light Cone etc) the speed is correct of course. At Re:Voir we are just selling the DVDs you produce in Tokyo and send to us. I suppose they are playing at 25fps. But they are only for home use and not used in public

Re: [Frameworks] How do people encode DVDs for international distribution? NTSC / PAL?

At Re:Voir we decide based on the film whether we speed the film up to 25fps or whether we add one frame every 24 frames to keep the speed correct. For smooth pans and motions, the first option is better. We often pitch correct the sound even though we cannot speed correct it. - Pip Chodorov
