Re: [Frameworks] 16mm -- HD -- 16mm
Hi Jodie, I had problems too - on my feature documentary, the sync drifted in FCP for no apparent reason, and we had a lot of tweaking to do in Cinema Tools. I was told that this is the fault of FCP which does not handle 2K very well, but I was assured by experts that if I had done it in Avid I would have had no problem. But you may save a headache and make an SD transfer, cut and print the film neg and simply HD telecine your answer print. I had a similar problem on a 12-minute 16mm film that my friend insisted on cutting digitally and timing to a precise sound track on FCP. We cut the work print to conform to the video, threw it up on the steenbeck with the digital track synced on ProTools (steenbeck and mac are hardwired to stay in sync), but the cues did not line up. So we made a mag track, tweaked the cut to lock exactly, cut the neg accordingly and printed from that. In that case however her video edit can still serve as a master. In both cases we got the final result we wanted and it didn't cost extra, but I think we wasted three times as much time. Sorry to disappoint, but film is physical, frame for frame, locked to the sound, nothing can go wrong. -Pip ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Pip Chodorov's FREE RADICALS: A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM opens Friday at Anthology – with Pip in person!
hi all! passing on this special annoucement for anthology - we're very happy that pip in the flesh will cross the threshold of the old courthouse this very friday night for the opening to present his must-see, 'free radicials: a history of experiment film,' and joined by the composers of the picture's score, black lake, who will be giving a concert at anthology at 7. -rr ** Hi Frameworkers, Just wanted to remind the list that Anthology is opening this Friday a week-long run of FrameWorks founder (12/1995) Pip Chodorov's FREE RADICALS: A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM. Pip will be present for the opening night screenings this Friday (at 7pm and 9pm) as well as this Saturday and Sunday evening screenings, and the closing night screenings on Thursday August 9. Here's the link on our website and the same info is also below and in our printed calendars: http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=listmonth=08year=2012#showing-39511 ** NEW YORK THEATRICAL PREMIERE RUN! Pip Chodorov FREE RADICALS: A HISTORY OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM August 3 – 9 * * This feature-length documentary provides a vivid, eye-opening, and appropriatelypersonal introduction to one of the most important, yet perpetually marginalized, realms of filmmaking: avant-garde cinema. Achieving the near-impossible task of doing justice in a mere 82 minutes to this incredibly rich, varied, and expansive domain, FREE RADICALS is as expertly constructed an introduction to the topic as one could hope for, thanks in large part to the film’s privileging of rare interviews with some of the most importantfilmmakers in the avant-garde tradition (including Jonas Mekas, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Hans Richter), and its inclusion of several films in their entirety. Narrated in a personal and plainspoken manner by Chodorov, the film’s sincere admiration for its subject is best reflected by Chodorov’s own description: “I wanted to share a few of the films I love and introduce you to some of the free, radical artists who made them.” “Named after the experimental film classic by Len Lye, FREE RADICALS is an informative yet above all passionate film essay, as well as a fine introduction to the world of avant-garde film. … Using a range of different film formats along the way, Chodorov sketches out the genealogy of avant-garde filmmaking in a playful, yet ultimately very accessible documentary that aims to transmit this legacy to a new audience.” –ROTTERDAM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL *The 7:00 opening night screening will feature a live performance by Black Lake (Slink Moss Susan Jennings), the composers of the FREE RADICALS soundtrack.* *–Friday, August 3 through Thursday, August 9 at 7:00 9:00 nightly.

Re: [Frameworks] Super 8 camera recommendations?
Thanks for all the tips! So far, I was gifted a Minolta Autopak-8 d6 and given a dirt cheap price on a Canon 814xl. Can't wait to start testing! On Monday, July 30, 2012, Mike Kartje mkar...@siu.edu wrote: I own a Minolta XL400 and Canon 512, and both are - or should I say were - fine cameras: the features that make them nice are some of the first things to fail. Internal metering and manual aperture control became unreliable and eventually stopped working all together. Shutter release becoming erratic is also a concern. Still usable cameras, just not as feature-filled anymore. Used cameras like this, unless professionally cleaned serviced, will have accumulated 30+ years of grime and corrosion, so the chances for a manual aperture control/etc. not working (or failing over time with a lot of use) are pretty high. I was gifted Rollei SL 85 - a re-badged Bauer - and think its the best of the lot. Basic features and built like a tank. My kind of camera. Feels like it could be dropped off building and it'd still keep clicking away (I am curious but not willing to test this).

Note that these are completely different (and superior) machines from the Canons 814 and 1014 that do not bear the XL-S tag. The Nikon R-10 is also a really interesting camera that has a lot of really cool options for super-impositions. I think it's the camera Paul Clipson uses if that holds any significance...

To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Date: Sunday, July 29, 2012, 4:55 PM Since you want cost to come together with features and reliability, I'll assume Beaulieus, stock or rebuilt, are out. I'd say it hard to do better than the various iterations of Canon 814 and 1014. For something cheaper than that, you might look at a Sankyo, but I think they're not quite as reliable as the Canons. Minoltas don't have much in the way of features, but they should work pretty well... My thoughts are largely based on now distant recollections, I'm sure other folks will have recs about cameras they're using right now, which means they've held up quite some time past their dates of manufacture and expected life of service. Good luck. ___ 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 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

He is sort of an artisan and does very careful work, a real lab guy that listens to what you want, and his prices are very good. Also he works right in the heart of midtown Manhattan so you can meet him and discuss what you want. They also do video color correction, 2K/4K scans and film outs to 16mm and 35mm. A small lab dedicated to the independent filmmaker. There are many good labs out there and others may have their preferences but with very few exceptions Jack's first answer prints have been spot on perfect for me every time.
