[Frameworks] The Foundations of Detention - initiative

[Eliseo Ortiz]

Hi frameworkers,

My name is Eliseo Ortiz and I am a PhD student in Critical Media Practices
at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I am reaching out to you to share
an anti-*ICE *collective project called *The Foundations of Detention*.
This is an photography initiative I launched recently in response to the
mass imprisonment of migrants across the country.


*Call-for-action*

http://eliseortiz.net/foundationsofdetention.html


If you find relevance in this cause and you want to collaborate please pass
it along to students and faculty in your university; friends, family or
anybody who wants to denounce the criminalization of migration and the
discrimination of migrants in the United States.

Phd Candidate in Critical Media Practices.

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

[Seth Mitter]

AEO-Light is a tool that does the exact reverse and therefore may be of
interest here. It takes images of optical soundtracks from a film scanner
output (overscan tiff or dpx image sequences) and converts them into
digital audio files.

[Frameworks] Fwd: Crass-Animationstands available

[Bernd Luetzeler]

Dear frameworkers and labworkers!

this came through LaborBerlin today:
Someone in Germany needs to get rid of two animation stands!
Not sure where, maybe Berlin, maybe somewhere else...
The bigger one is a CRASS make, the smaller one I don’t know.
If no one adopts them, they will go to the scrapyard in 2 or 3 months…
This is all the information I have…
For more information, larger pics or if you’re interested in saving their lives:
Please get in touch with Jan Caspers caspers...@web.de 


cheers
Bernd

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

Hi Scott (et al),

Not for 35mm, necessarily, but there is a very active 16mm Auricon group on
facebook that might have some tips or starting points. Not necessarily for
Scott, as I'm guessing you already know, but these were TV news cameras
that recorded optical sound directly on the film - no need for syncing
later on. These have been converted by DIY labs to become sound printers,
as well.

For 35mm you may be able to find an old Westrex 35mm printer (mono)...and
perhaps just using it as a recording device for the sound output from a
computer would be more accurate than trying to print the sound line-by-line?

Regardless, please share with us when you have a solution!

Re: [Frameworks] optical soundtrack generator?

Ahh, I get it, you want a digital image of what the soundtrack would like and
you want to plot it out as part of your filmout.

This turns out not to be an easy thing to do because of the frame lines...
it is very very hard to get the bottom of one frame to line up perfectly with
the top of the next one so there is not some discontinuity 24 times a second.
The Arrilaser recorder can do it, but they take a file that consists of 
frames and turn it into a datastream that consists of individual lines, and
plot a line at a time instead of a frame at a time.

But if you want to try it just to see what happens, it should not be all
that hard to write a little script to create two white lines whose width
varies with modulation.  Pull values one at a time out of a .wav file, 
use them to set the width of the line directly.
