Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Is Selling Off Its Legendary Film Business [Photography]
Have you seen _Villa Rides_ with Yul Brynner? There is a scene in there in which Pancho Villa's army receives their first machine gun, and one soldier loads it and begins firing without putting it into the base. He is unable to control it or stop it and bullets go flying in all directions. Kodak's management is a lot like that, and it has been for the past fifty years or so. They have not managed to kill themselves yet, but it's been only a matter of time. Kodak did most of the fundamental research into digital imaging, and they held most of the patents. But they never actually introduced products until years after everyone else, because management could not see beyond the next quarter and did not want to invest into the long term. Then Kodak sold those patents at a fraction of their real value, again because they saw short term profit. Kodak's current CEO knows about printers, he doesn't know a damn thing about film, and to be honest Kodak hasn't really understood the film market for the past few decades. Every major decision they have made has turned out to be wrong. In the early 1980s, Kodak shut down all of the smaller film production alleys with the expectation that they would not ever need to do smaller production runs. They kept only the newer alleys that are optimized for very large jumbo rolls and very long production jobs. Consequently, as the market has shrunk, Kodak has been unable to keep any of the smaller-demand films in the catalogue. Stuff like the RAR films, the Hawkeye Surveillance Films, and other stocks that have a small dedicated market have all gone away and _that_ has accelerated the move of many of the scientific and industrial imaging people to digital systems because they had no alternative. At the same time, smaller operations like Orwo, Ilford, and Kentmere with smaller lines are able to make a profit on the smaller production runs which are the order of the day today. Kentmere is using these little nine-inch jumbos which would fit inside the core of one of the big Kodak ones. For two years I tried to get Kodachrome our local camera store was unable to get Kodak to ship them the stuff and it seemed like BH was the only place in the country that could get it. Then Kodak discontinued it because of the low demand... but if you don't ship it to customers, they aren't going to be buying it. Kodak's film operation today basically hinges on motion picture print stocks. They make a lot of print stock, much of which is going into the third world, and the large scale print stock production is keeping the alleys open for them to be able to make smaller demand stocks like camera films. With the current move to digital presentation, demand for those print stocks is going to be going away. The only hope for Kodak's film operation is for Kodak to split it off and get some people who actually understand film and the film market to run it. It's going to take some capital investment too... some of those long alleys are going to have to be split up and transformed into facilities more conducive to small production runs. They are going to have to figure out how to make film in small runs and actually get that film to customers. So, I am hoping this is a good thing. If not, well, Fuji is making record profits today. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Large Lightbox?
Hi i wonder if anyone could help i am trying to get hold f a large Lightbox to view a huge amount of 35mm frames on - i seem to remember when i was at art college that the photography department had a huge one that was probably about 150 cm x 80 cm - I've had a look on eBay but can't seem to find anything - i was wondering if anyone had any advise about where i can find one - i guess the next thing to do would be to build one but i would like to avoid this if possible. any suggestions would be great best wishes Elizabeth Elizabeth McAlpine Studio Address Studio 10, 10 Martello Street, London E8 3EP.

Re: [Frameworks] Large Lightbox?
Liz, I know it's a daunting thought, but in the end it will be worth the while to have someone build you a custom light-box. The search for the perfect light-box can be eternal, and in my case, resulted in lots of time i could have saved if i had just built it from the start. in the end, i finally had to do it anyway. today, this is the single most valuable piece of equipment that i own!!! good luck. enjoy today...

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Is Selling Off Its Legendary Film Business [Photography]
From Jim Linder's post on AMIA (today)... Kodak has announced that it is selling other divisions including Consumer Film.

I have an idea. How about every member of frameworks chips in and we become stake holders in the print film production division of Kodak. We can sell shares at $100 a pop. I could do 10 shares and just eat ala Jack Smith for awhile, 2 day old oatmeal. Watching my cholesterol anyway. Anyone out there know if this is feasible?

Though I believe AGFA still makes optical sound recording film in 16mm, getting it is cost prohibitive with minimum order requirements. I hope Kodak MP can survive in another form, but the current model needs to go.

[Frameworks] PacLab's approach to customer service.
Direct quote from Brian Brown at PacLab after being confronted about having ruined 4 of 7 reels of film. Well I develop film for Spike Lee and Martin Scorsese and between you and them, I'd be fine with you never coming back again. ...

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Is Selling Off Its Legendary Film Business [Photography]
I wouldn't put a penny into Kodak's film division. But if someone from Orwo came to me asking for an investment, I'd be happy to write them a check. Orwo knows their customers and they know what they want. Kodak doesn't even seem to know their own employees let alone their customers. --scott Disclaimer: I own Fuji stock. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Free Film Workshop in SF this Sunday
Hey Frameworkers, Me and some people are starting a free film workshop series this Sunday August 26th, 2-6ish PM. It is at Noisebridge 2169 Mission (https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Getting_Here). We have a bunch of miscellaneous leader, found footage, 1-3 projectors and lots of markers, paints, crystals and reptile skin to adhere to film. People are encouraged to bring any material they might be interested in working with. Elements of Image Making is a series of workshops investigating analogue film processes, structured around the open exchange of ideas, resources, and skills while focusing on teaching through facilitation. Initially concerned with tactile manipulations, we will make direct animations by drawing, scratching, and painting directly onto film. By focusing on texture, pattern, and rhythm we will explore projected light, experience and perception. Future workshops will move into the darkroom exploring: photograms, hand processing, handmade emulsions and tinting/toning. Additionally we will invoke whatever mischief we can think of; we might bury film, throw it into a volcano, launch it into the atmosphere, bake it, burn it or sail it to angel island. Prior film knowledge is not required but attendees with previous experience are encouraged to contribute their knowledge and experience at any level they feel comfortable with. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Elements_of_Image_Making We will continue to meet the 2nd and 4rth sundays of every month. Next meeting we plan to venture into the darkroom with some hi-con. -Eric Stewart ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
