[Frameworks] Laser printing tutorial

2020-04-13 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
All,

I made this very quick (& very dense) tutorial about laser printing on 16mm 
leader to take the place of a class visit at the University of South Carolina 
that was canceled when the world shut down.  I originally thought I’d just 
share it with the students in the class, but then I posted on FB, where folks 
seemed to find it useful, so I figured I’d share it here as well.  If you’re 
teaching 16mm & your students no longer have access to gear or if you’re in 
that situation yourself, maybe it’ll suggest one way you can keep on making 
work on film:

https://vimeo.com/402644336/578a9aab08

There’s a much longer version of this that I do as a workshop (between 3 hours 
and 4 days(!)), so do know that this 10-minute primer is just the tip of the 
iceberg.

(And if you don’t have clear leader, I’m assuming Larry Urbanski or Dwight Cody 
could still hook you up during the lockdown—likely a lot easier to get your 
hands on than raw stock, a camera, a functioning lab or darkroom chemistry, 
etc.).

FYI,
Roger

Re: [Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

2020-02-12 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Albert,

I’ve taught a cameraless filmmaking class every few years for the last decade 
or so at two large public universities in the US (the University of Florida and 
Ohio State University).  That class is definitely not industry-oriented—it’s an 
end in itself (i.e., fully in the experimental film tradition).  I have also 
taught it as a one- or two-week module in other classes, usually just to give 
students a sense of film material.

I don’t know how widely spread this practice is, but my sense is there are 
enough folks like me situated at public universities who sneak this in in one 
way or another.

Best,
Roger

Subject: [Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

Hello,

Does anyone know if cameraless film is a common subject at university?

I am investigating the role of cameraless film in the studies of Fine Arts and 
Media Studies.

Most of cameraless film workshops are organized by art centers, alternative 
spaces or private film schools but i wonder the role it has within the 
university.

Is it taught as a technique that can be applied in the audiovisual industry 
(such as video clips, advertisements, fiction animated films, etc.) or as a 
line to develop artistic projects or personal film developments?

Would be great to know personal experiences concerning teaching this animation 
technique related to experimental cinema.

Best,
Albert

Re: [Frameworks] Simple software that allows exploratory movements "across" a digital still image, as achieved by a conventional / antique rostrum Camera - like a Ken Burns shot

2019-12-16 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
David,

Pretty much any editing system in 2019 will allow you to animate movement 
across a still frame.  In Premiere, you just set start and end keyframes in the 
Motion settings & can zoom in, track across, etc.  You can make the movement 
linear or even accelerate in & out.  Pretty basic stuff these days.

Here’s a little online tutorial, or you could hire any kid with a degree in 
film to walk you through the basics:

http://www.annenbergdl.org/tutorials/how-to-add-a-ken-burns-effect-in-premiere/

Definitely glad not to have to do this the hard way (although now it’s almost 
too easy!)

A lot of water under the bridge, but greetings to any surviving members who

And I suppose seasonal greetings are in order, if applicable.

I’m looking for and have not yet found software that allows one to explore a

of the month for many pure experimentalists – but invoking his name / oeuvre is 
an efficient metaphoric descriptor for my digital desire.

It's pretty easy to find hole punches in lots of different sizes.  Here's an 
odd one that might be an interesting tool to have around (if it punches film 
cleanly):

https://www.amazon.com/Sized-Heavy-Leather-Pliers-Punches/dp/B07D28DBC6/

Michaels tend to stock several sizes & shapes too...

will be mostly brand-new work, completed over the last 10 weeks during my 
residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts, including the 4 x 16mm 
performance “Lineage (for Norman McLaren)” and the “desktop cinema” essay 
“Amazonia” (largely shot on super 8 Kodachrome—back when that was still 
possible!).  Dates and venues are below.  If you find yourself in any of these

Re: [Frameworks] experimental essay films and one other question

2019-05-18 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Peter,

I agree with Albert’s response that you probably don’t need the qualifier 
“experimental” in front of “essay film,” since the essay film as a form is 
already experimental (to greater or lesser degrees, and depending on what one 
means by experimental).

For a reading and list of makers, I’d take a look at the recent collection of 
essays by Nora Alter and Tim Corrigan, Essays on the Essay Film.  I just 
finished teaching a class on the essay film and this book was an invaluable 
resource for us:

It’d be great if everyone read the original post and what others post in the 
thread, wouldn’t it?  If one more person suggests Bleu Shut...!

But to try to inject a little substance here, I think it’s telling that most of 
the examples that we’ve collectively come up with are from an earlier era (many 
in the heyday of Structural Film).  Marclay’s magnum opus notwithstanding, it 
does seem like experimental film now isn’t especially invested in that kind of

Hello frameworkers,

I’m trying to write a short article in spanish about different notions of time

related to cinema” is almost impossible to delimit I have decided to 
concentrate just about the clock.

So, i’m searching films and videos where the clock is an important object/issue

as 60 Seconds (2002) by Christoph Girardet and The Clock (2012) by Christian

There’s a brilliant film by Chris Gallagher named Time Being (2009) that could 
also be useful to theorize some ideas but I need some more titles.

Hi Dan!

I would look at Alison O'Daniel's ongoing project THE TUBA THIEVES, 
particularly the restaging of the last punk show at the San Francisco Deaf Club 
(with Joel Schliemowitz as Bruce Connor!). Much of her prolific output relates 
to sound, sign language and hearing abilities

and Caroline Key's SPEECH MEMORY

I am sure there are many more works of interest, but these two come to mind

Hi all,

Hoping to get to Wavelengths, but waited too long to check with the hostels,
and the hotels are too expensive for Filmforum to cover.  Anyone interested
in sharing a place or have any ideas, Sept 6-10?

Thank you.

Hey Film Folks,

I'm teaching a classic "Art Appreciation" course at a community college
next semester, the first time I've taught college level or anything other
than film/video production.

I was given notice that one of my students is completely deaf and will
require any videos shown to a captioned. My first thought is that it will
be exciting to show some Stan Brakhage, but I'm wondering if any other
teachers have had experience with deaf students or could recommend
materials that would appeal equally to hearing and non-hearing folks.

This is a required class for non-art students, but may ride heavily in the
film and new media direction.. just because I won't be able to help myself
;)

thanks!

Re: [Frameworks] Cyanotype on film

2018-07-26 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Here’s an answer from Ben Wigley to the Labos list in response to a very 
similar question.  (I’m only bouncing this—haven’t tried it myself.)


_


In this book about Anthotypes - 
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anthotypes-Explore-darkroom-garden-photographs/dp/1466261005
they apply the emulsion with a brush or a sponge as it applies a much thicker 
emulsion - to greater effect, than dipping….
perhaps you could try taping to a surface and applying with sponge/brush and 
then you wouldn’t get it on the back of the film? You could also wait for a 
coat to dry and apply more?

I’m guessing you would need a very long exposure for this technique

This is what a friend of mine emailed me when I asked him - not sure if it 
helps:

'

"A gel is required for a carrier if the film is bare plastic: Gelatine, Agar
Subcoat with chrome alum hardened gelatine or agar, overcoat with cyanotype in 
gelatine. There may be an issue with the heat of molten gelatine (agar is worse 
as it requires a higher temperature) curing off the cyanotype reagent (turning 
it blue). Cool gelatine to as close to the gelling point as possible before 
adding cyanotype sensitiser. May need to use a restrainer - few drops of 10% 
sodium chlorate per 20ml cyanotype reagent - this will also increase contrast, 
and lower sensitivity.

OR you can overcoat the fixed film with gel / cyanotype emulsion

If you use fixed out print film - When fixing film do not use a hardening 
fixer, plain hypo is fine.

Under red light soak the fixed, washed in deionised water and dried film in a 
strong solution of cyanotype ? double strength? with a trace of wetting agent, 
like Photo flo,

Remember the volume of cyanotype solution soaking into the gelatine film layer 
is minute and will appear to run off the film

then drain and dry, remove adhering spots of water on the film surface with a 
tissue. When dry load film into camera under subdued or red light. Remember 
cyanotype sensitivity is very low much less than 1ASA, so single shot time 
exposures will be required for each frame - determine exposure by trial and 
error.

There is still some fine detail I’m not describing, but I’ve never done this on 
film before.”

Re: [Frameworks] projection material

2018-06-26 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Andy,

I’ve experimented a lot with different materials (often against my will!).  
There’s much that would work (depending on what you’re willing to live wth), 
but there’s no substitute for actual screen material.  Do you need one 
continuous surface or can there be “seams” between?  How tall of a surface do 
you need?  Something as simple as an army of pedestal screens could give you 30 
feet wide (as it did once for me at a screening at Oberlin College), but then 
each image lived inside its own tidy rectangle or images that sprawled did 
reveal the seam.  A few Fast-Fold screens side by side can do the trick too 
with fewer seams.  If you haven’t already selected the space, a 30’ white wall 
might be easier to find (and seamless) even if the different paint finishes 
(glossy, satin, eggshell, etc.) will reflect the image differently.  Lots of 
solutions, none of them perfect, some more expensive than others, etc…

Good luck!
Roger

[Frameworks] Boston multi-projector show time

2018-03-18 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Boston-area Frameworkers,

Just a late heads up that my show tomorrow (Monday, 3/19) at the Carpenter 
Center for the Visual Arts has been pushed back an hour to 9 PM due to concerns 
about sound bleed in the adjacent theater.  The program is a taut 70 minutes, 
so hopefully it won’t go past your bedtimes…

Hope to see some of you there (or elsewhere on this next leg of shows).

It’s been a great resource for my students.  I actually just got our library to

[Frameworks] Kodak reps? (and Ektachrome)

2017-11-29 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Does anyone have any info about changes to the Kodak reps for North America 
recently?  I emailed both my new rep for Ohio and my old rep from Florida, and 
both emails bounced back.  Not sure if my email is just being buggy or if there 
have been layoffs or departures.

FYI, I was trying to contact them because I’ve recently learned that the new 
Ektachrome, when it’s reintroduced next year, will initially be offered only in 
super 8mm and 35mm still.  For those of us who teach, 16mm Ekta is an essential 
stock, so I was hoping to encourage them to reintroduce 16mm in short order.  
Might be worth a concerted effort by Frameworkers if others share my concern.

Best,
Roger

[Frameworks] video production job at the University of Florida

All,

My longtime employer, the University of Florida, is looking to hire a maker 
with a PhD for the program (Film & Media Studies in the English Dept.) that I 
taught in for 13 years.  It’s a great place to be—lots of interesting students, 
very supportive colleagues, NO WINTER, etc.  Not sure how many of you out there 
have PhD’s, but for those who do, this is a great gig.  I’m pasting the full 
text of the listing below.  I don’t know more than is in that posting, so 
contact Barbara Mennel at the address below for more info.  I’d definitely love 
to see this position filled by someone interesting.  The department has a long 
history of supporting experimental work in both production and theory/history, 
so I’m hoping this new hire will continue that tradition.

FYI,
Roger

Use an old Elmo film-chain transfer unit.  It’ll look terrible (unless it’s 
modified to make an HD transfer—and even then…).  The one I had had RCAs out, 
maybe a BNC.  Seems like a weird thing to do—the film exists more as fetish 
than as material—but maybe there are ways to make that interesting…

One more that I thought of belatedly and that I didn’t see listed in the other 
posts:  the MindFrames show (focused on Buffalo in the 1970s) at ZKM back in 
2006-7:

A lot of the work was shown digitally, but they had some pretty impressive

2017-05-19 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
To Chrissie’s impressive list I’d add Pompidou’s Le Mouvement des Images 
(2006-7) that found parallels in works from the Seventh Art with strategies and 
concerns in the other (modern/contemporary) arts.  It included a fair number of 
(proper) experimental filmmakers (e.g., Brakhage, Rose Lowder) alongside 
gallery folks like Rodney Graham.  An outline of the show (without a ton of 
details about individual works) can be found here:  
https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/resource/cn6eXo/r8K9ao

I believe Pip was involved in some way in the installation of that show, so he 
might be a better source of information about it than I am.

Subject: [Frameworks] major US and international exhibitions of experimental 
film, video, moving image art?

Hi all,
I'm interested in gathering a list of film/video-based art exhibitions in the 
United States, UK, Europe and rest of the world.  I was wondering if anyone 
might have suggestions of any exhibitions (recent or old) that were focused on 
a broad survey of moving image art.

Obviously many exhibitions, such as documenta or the Venice Biennale, have 
exhibited some form of moving images or experimental media. But for my 
purposes, I'm interested only in shows that focus on the moving image as the 
central theme, not as a component of a larger thematic whole.

An example might be the recent show at the Whitney Museum, Dreamlands: 
Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905-2016 or Into the Light: The Projected Image in 
American Art, 1964-1977, both curated by Chrissie Iles. Another example of this 
on a much smaller scale would be Renegades: American Avant-Garde Film, 
1960-1973, at the Walker Center of the Arts.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Ben

I just rewatched a video that Warren Cockerham made almost exactly 8 years ago,

[Frameworks] digital-era distro

2016-12-24 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
All,

As I’ve slowly been making HD transfers of my older work, I’m wondering about 
what people are doing in the current era for circulating HD versions of their 
films.  Of course, I’m updating my Vimeo versions with the new scans, but since 
those files get massively recompressed, that’s not what I’m primarily thinking 
about.  Back in the day (way back in 2007/2009/2011!) I used to do a fairly 
healthy traffic in DVDs when I toured with my films.  In 2015 when I toured, I 
didn’t even bother taking merch along, since I have the impression that people 
no longer collect DVDs much.  (My Mac doesn’t even have a way to play DVDs, and 
I assume many folks are reliant on their computers as their primary site of 
consuming films—certainly my students are.)  With the new HD versions, a DVD 
seems even more perverse, since it would be reconverting these back down to SD. 
 i could burn Blu-Rays, but authoring BRDs is a bit of a hassle, and I know 
that many people still can’t play them and many libraries (like the library at 
Ohio State) won’t collect them.  Which brings me to files.  Are there artists 
selling work on thumb drives?  Are there libraries buying files on drives?  Are 
regular people interested in purchasing files?  I was thinking about loading up 
some thumb drives for my next touring shows just to give it a try, but I 
thought I’d reach out to you all first.  I guess download is an option too that 
I haven’t thought much about.

I’d be curious to hear from any of you who’ve dealt with these questions.  
Ultimately I’m actually not that concerned with turning these new HD transfers 
into a revenue stream—it’s more about figuring out a way to get these out in 
the world in an ideal form—but a few extra bucks never hurts.

Thoughts?

Hi Morgan,

If you’re looking to obtain a final screening print ( 16mm  ) with sync sound, 
the primary format is optical sound track recording. There may be people 
experimenting with making their own home-brew magnetic tracks, but there’s 
little to no support for magnetic sound on 16mm these days.

So, if you want to get an optical track made, you definitely can.

There’s a lab in Canada that I’ve used recently to produce an optical negative 
and they did very good work.

Regarding the overall workflow questions you had, if you use film scanning 
there are workflows that largely eliminate the need to use mag or a Steenbeck 
to produce your soundtrack.  Not that I’m opposed to those things :)
This or may not apply to your workflow, but hopefully it will give you some 
perspective on your options:

Consider the possibility of having your film or negative scanned at 24fps ( 
progressive ). Although this may add some cost up front, the scan can be useful 
for many purposes not the least of which is facilitating digital sound 
workflow. Once your film is scanned at 24fps progressive, maintaining sound 
sync in the digital environment becomes much easier than with NTSC telecine 
processes. Note, if you need an NTSC end product, my approach may not totally 
suit you.

Once you have your scan, import it as a quicktime movie into an audio editing 
application like ProTools/DigitalPerformer/etc. Create a sync beep and do all 
your overdub ( voice over ) in the audio app. Make sure the audio editor 
transport counter is operating at 24fps. Beep must be placed carefully. You can 
conform subsequent edits of scanned material in your audio editor very easily 
while still editing on film at the same time. You can conform edits on the fly 
as you work between film and digital simultaneously if necessary.

You can then mix using your audio workstation and send the mixed audio file ( 
with sync beep ) to the optical sound lab and they will provide you an optical 
negative. That optical neg can then be married to the image negative in the 
final print by your lab. I used dropbox to transfer my mix to the lab in Canada.

There are lots of details and particulars you must be attentive to, but that’s 
the overview. I’m happy to talk to you about it if you want to send me an 
email. Other people may have other approaches. You need to find the right mix 
of techniques for your personal process.

Re: [Frameworks] Laser pointer optical printing

Morgan,

I’ve experimented with this a little, and have had very mixed results.  I 
bought some green lasers online (since red-blind stocks wouldn’t respond much 
to a red laser—or so was my thinking), and my first tests made it seem fairly 
straightforward.  However, attempts to replicate the early successes were 
unsuccessful—partially because the lasers were cheaply made and seemed to 
produce a very uneven light—and I haven’t continued to pursue it.

Not especially helpful, I know, but maybe it means the field is wide open for 
you…

Re: [Frameworks] the PhD referral for programs friendly to experimental film

2016-08-01 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
While there may not be many Ph.D. programs specialized in experimental film, 
I’d suggest that you look for a school with a faculty member or two who you’d 
like to work with.  Almost no one in any area of specialization gets to 
assemble a committee entirely of people who work narrowly in their 
subdiscipline.  When I was teaching at Florida, we had several students who 
wrote on experimental film (with me, Maureen Turim, Robert Ray, and others), 
but they also had more general cinema and media scholars fleshing out their 
committees.  Having a broad training in film studies is a good idea if you’re 
thinking about looking for teaching after completing your Ph.D., because almost 
all faculty will have to teach a variety of subjects outside of their area of 
specialization—intro to film, world cinema, etc.

So, grab a stack of publications on experimental film, find essays you’re 
interested in, find where the authors are teaching, and apply to those places.

My 2 cents,
Roger

[Frameworks] TB TX DANCE 16mm prints

2016-07-28 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
All,

Many of you have seen my 2006 laser-printed film TB TX DANCE.  If not 
(somehow), it’s online here:

https://vimeo.com/34376555

I’m about to make some new prints for myself, and I had the (slightly crazy?) 
idea that maybe others out there would be interested in owning a print.  I’m 
expecting them to be fairly cheap, since it’s a b/w sound-on-film original that 
can just be contact printed as super 16mm.  I don’t know exactly what the 
prints will cost—I’m hoping it’ll be less than $50 per—and I’m planning to sell 
prints at the once-standard 3x print cost.  If you’re interested, send me an 
email to let me know, and I can keep you in the loop as I know more about exact 
costs.  These won’t be “editioned” or anything—I’ll make as many prints as 
required to satisfy demand.  There’ll be no limitation on where you can screen 
‘em—private use, public screenings, classroom instruction are all fine with me. 
 

And to be clear, for the moment I’m just making positive prints for the 
single-channel version, but if anyone’s crazy enough to want the negative 
version as well to be able to present the two-channel version screened on that 
Vimeo version, I will eventually make myself a new negative version too, so I 
could add eventually satisfy those requests too.

I figure they’ll make great stocking stuffers for the experimental filmmaker in 
your life…

Any takers?

Re: [Frameworks] Film/video programers/curators and campus film screenings

2016-03-19 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Many of my students who were involved centrally or peripherally with FLEXfest 
in Florida have gone on to do a wide range of post-graduation programming.  
Brendan and Jeremy Smyth, for example, currently run both the Haverhill 
Experimental Film Festival (HEFF) and Unexposed Microcinema in Durham, NC.  
Warren Cockerham programmed the New England Home Movie Tour and had a hand in 
Luther Price gallery shows at Bennington and Callicoon Fine Arts.  Jodie Mack, 
who was among the founding group at FLEX, went from there to an internship at 
the PDX Film Festival in Portland then to SAIC where she programmed the 
Animation’s World Fair and revived David Gatten’s Eye & Ear Clinic (which 
Warren Cockerham also did for a bit) and since landing at Dartmouth has 
programmed a series called Eyewash.  Charlotte Taylor, also one of the original 
FLEX crew, founded Mechanical Eye Microcinema in Asheville, NC.  Mike Stoltz, 
who had a hand in helping me set up screenings in the pre-FLEX days, now is 
part of the group programming the Echo Park Film Center.  This is a very 
incomplete list, and I’m reluctant to hit send lest I forget someone, but it at

Re: [Frameworks] Fwd: New Kodak Super 8 movie camera

Now if they’d just reintroduce a color reversal stock…

(Shot a little Wittnerchrome this summer, and it’s not a bad tool, but it’s not 
Kodachrome or even the final Ekta 64T…)

Then, she gave the film a bleach bath...  I guess that's why there are faint

I overstate but Naz Dincel’s practice relentlessly involves scratching on her

(I think she has her ear to the ground so she may respond to you off-list? Naz,

Also there is that propositional film that Frampton talked about in “A

[Frameworks] NYC screening tomorrow night.

2015-08-06 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Frameworkers,

I’ll be doing a screening tomorrow night (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. at Microscope 
Gallery in Brooklyn (1329 Willoughby Ave.), and I thought it might be of 
interest to those of you in Greater Gotham.  I should warn you that while my 
work is still predominantly in 16mm, tomorrow’s program will focus exclusively 
on my video work (of which there’s also a significant body after 20+ years of 
making moving images), so don’t come expecting to see a battery of 16mm 
projectors lining the back wall of the space.  I still hope the show will be of 
some interest to some of you—if you make it out, do come say hello.  Show 
details:

http://www.microscopegallery.com/?page_id=16417

Best,
Roger

p.s.  Apologies about the late announcement, but this has all come together in

Re: [Frameworks] reversed River Rites

Francisco,

Yes, that was part of the conversation I had with Ben and part of the reason I 
thought he might not want this to circulate in the world.  I don’t think my 
experience of his film (which, again, I’d already seen more than a half-dozen 
times) is diminished by what I learned in the re-reversed version though 
(although it’ll be interesting to revisit it again now).  I completely respect 
anyone who prefers not to know, but I also assume there are some people out 
there who are interested in the process like I was.

(Nicky, a response to your message coming soon.  I’ve been in transit today, so

All,

I assume most of you have, at this point, seen Ben Russell’s River Rites.  I 
just watched it an additional three times over the past few weeks as part of a 
show that I presented in Warsaw, Istanbul, and Paris.  As many times as I’ve 
watched it now, I continued to be confused about how the original action was 
choreographed, before being reversed in post.  Since I had the file with me, I 
knew it’d be easy enough to throw it into Premiere and re-reverse it, restoring 
the original motion to the film.  With Ben’s blessing (after the fact), I went 
ahead and did it and have posted it to Vimeo.  I do think it’s helped me learn 
a little something about the film, and I think the end (the former start) is 
actually pretty poignant in this newly flipped version.  I also reversed the 
sound and titles as well, although Ben tells me there was some work on the 
original sound that won’t be revealed in my “righting” of the finished audio.  
I took the liberty of retitling this re-reversal too, which maybe means I think 
this is more than a footnote to the original.  In any case, I do think it only 
works in palimpsestic relation to Ben’s film, so if you haven’t yet seen River 
Rites, check that out first here:

https://vimeo.com/25532189

And the re-reversed version can be found on my Vimeo channel, for the moment 
with a password, here:

https://vimeo.com/133853342

So, yes, an odd thing.  I’d be curious to hear any reactions you have.

In a talk I heard P. Adams Sitney give in Berlin a few years ago, it sounded 
like he was doing some revisionist history to credit Marie Menken’s “Arabesque 
for Kenneth Anger” with being the film that broke from the psychodrama 
tradition.  If that’s the case—and why not?—then that seems a MAJOR mile marker

Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to 
start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select 
exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist 
(Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include 
Brakhage’s lens-captured films in the problematic “abstract.

Re: [Frameworks] Formula for processing 7240 reversal as vhf or e6?

2015-03-13 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Robbie,

Try contacting Nicolas Rey:  nico...@l-abominable.org.  I just sent him 18 
400’ rolls of 7240 that had been lying around forever, and he seems to think he 
can make good use of it.

FYI,
Roger

 Does anyone have a formula for processing the older color reversal 7240 film 
 , which was intended for VNF-1 process, but possible in E6. I'm aware E6 
 process will provide result, but I'm hoping to achieve a higher contrast more 
 saturated image than what E6 results with this stock. Therefore, does anyone 
 perhaps have alterations to E6 or a VNF-like formula that may produce higher 
 contrast and color? Or perhaps a source? I'm hoping to process as reversal  
 rather than crossprocess. Thanks for any assistance .

Gary Hill’s installation at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2006/7 included a 
giant reflecting pool filled with motor oil, with a video screen at the end of 
the pool.  That’s the closest I can think of to a direct (re)presentation of 
gasoline as art object.  A review of the show (in French) plus pics can be 
found here:

[Frameworks] projector belts

2015-02-01 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
All,

Out on the road in New Orleans I was given an Eiki NT-0 that’s missing its main 
drive belt.  I’m now in Los Angeles, and I’m wondering if anyone knows 
somewhere locally where I could pick up a belt.  I just measured  it looks 
like it’s about 9 3/4”.  I know people have posted here before about creative 
alternatives to proper projector belts, so I’m open to anything that I can find 
in a hurry.  (I need to see on Monday if this projector will work; otherwise 
I’ll need to grab a projector when I’m back in Ohio on Tuesday.)

Thanks in advance, hive mind.

When was the Aaton A-Minima introduced?  Early 2000s?  Late 1990s?  That’s the

are kickstarters for new film cameras all the time still?  Wasn’t there some

For an additional 2 cents, I got this email off list from Travis Wilkerson:

 I think the Ikonskop A-Cam was the last film camera newly introduced since 
the Logmar. The last version came out around 2004 or so. Those guys were doing 
great stuff and I think their digital camera may have been one of the better 
stabs at it, but sorting it out sank the company. Alas. “

Dear Frameworkers,

Here is the Press's description of my new book, AVANT-DOC: Intersections of 
Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema. The book may be of interest for some of you:

Avant-Doc: 23 in-depth interviews exploring the intersections between 
documentary and avant-garde filmmaking. Scott MacDonald reviews early overlaps 
between what have seemed two distinct traditions, then talks with seminal 
figures in the evolution of ethnographic film (Robert Gardner and Lucien 
Castaing-Taylor,  founder of Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, avant-doc’s 
most productive studio) and personal documentary (Ed Pincus, Alfred Guzzetti, 
Ross McElwee, Nina Davenport, Jonathan Caouette) and with crucial contributors 
to the modern European “avant-doc”: Dutch-Indonesian Leonard Retel Helmrich, 
Austrian Michael Glawogger, and Portuguese Susana de Sousa Dias. Paweł Wojtasik 
discusses how a mystical experience freed him from depression so that he could 
realize a cinematic form of perceptual transcendence; and Todd Haynes discusses 
his early faux documentary, Superstar: the Karen Carpenter Story and how his 
early experiences with avant-garde filmmakers and experimental documentaries 
paved the way for the commercial anti-biopic I’m Not There.
MacDonald’s interviews with filmmakers who have been working for 
decades create a context for a panorama of discussions about recent 
breakthroughs, including Jane Gillooly’s Suitcase of Love and Shame, Amie 
Siegel’s DDR/DDR, Alexander Olch’s The Windmill Movie, Betzy Bromberg’s 
Voluptuous Sleep, Godfrey Reggio’s Visitors, Castaing-Taylor and Véréna 
Paravel’s Leviathan, Jennifer Proctor’s A Movie by Jen Proctor, and Stephanie 
Spray and Pacho Velez’s Manakamana. The 22 filmmaker interviews are preceded by 
a conversation with Annette Michelson about what led to her early championing 
of documentary pioneer Dziga Vertov and avant-garde filmmakers Stan Brakhage, 
Yvonne Rainer, and Hollis Frampton in Artforum. An extended discussion of the 
thinking behind Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab concludes the volume.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Film Stocks to be Discontinued, Announced in December

2014-08-31 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
I’ve been lamenting the loss of these stocks along with the rest of you.  But I 
also was thinking of the bigger historical context of this current crisis, and 
that gave me some peace of mind.  I know that when I arrived at the University 
of Florida in 2000, a colleague explained that the reason they’d stopped 
shooting film was that “it’s so hard to get film stock now.”  My response:  
800.621.3456.  Seemed easy to me.  But he showed me an info sheet from Buffalo 
in the 1970s, which listed the 7 or 8 places in town you could go to pick up a 
roll of motion picture film.  For him (and his generation), the loss of local 
vendors was a giant crisis, one big enough to drive some to abandon film 
altogether.  It seems to me we’re in a similar moment, where those of us who’ve 
relied on Kodak as our one-stop shop feel like we’re at a critical juncture, 
but maybe it’s really not that bad after all.

This thread has been reassuring in pointing to all the ways that we’ll still be 
able to keep going after the inevitable decline of Kodak.  Maybe it won’t be 
quite as convenient, maybe we’ll pay a few bucks more, but it sounds like we’ll 
continue to have plenty of tools at our disposal, including maybe some new ones 
that will be wonderful in ways we haven’t yet discovered.

In solidarity,
R.

p.s.  Remember how cheap film used to be before the Hunt Brothers tried to 
corner the silver market?  I don’t either.  THE GOOD OL’ DAYS ARE RIGHT NOW.

I don't know if anyone else is already doing so, but I'm tempted to try to put

Cheap shot? Maybe. I'm just so disappointed in Kodak, personally.

I meet filmmakers all the time and it's surprising how many completely
ignore the fact that there are other manufacturers in the world apart from
Kodak that produce motion picture film stock. Some are truly amazed when I
mention this to them.
True, when it comes to color negative stocks, Kodak are the only source at
the moment. For everything else, there are options out there, luckily.

It is a little complicated with Kodak's recent discontinuation of stocks.

I like ORWO, however ORWO stocks -- both UN54 and N74 -- do not run through
one of my cameras without needing
to make adjustments for running color vs. BW. I've had issues with ORWO in
another camera as well. I've had few issues
like this with Kodak BW stocks.

Also, with Kodak, being in education, I get a discount which makes it lower
in cost than ORWO.

I've been shooting a project that uses Double-X (7222), Tri-X (7266)
processed as negative and ORWO's UN54 and N74. When all of these stocks are
printed to 7203 the differences are pretty slight. I don't know what labs
are printing to ORWO's
BW print stocks... though I would be curious to know, since 7203 and 3302
may be put on the chopping block soon.

Ferrania (http://www.filmferrania.it/) might be starting production of
color film stocks, but I have yet to see anything...and
who knows when such a stock will become available in North America.

I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, I just think that ORWO and
Ferrania will have to prove they have the same level
of QC as Kodak does (and Fuji did). Not that Kodak is/was flawless, but
it's amazing how close to perfect they can get in
manufacturing their stocks.

Re: [Frameworks] films using the optical printer

2014-08-06 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
In the same spirit as Mark's post, I wanted to note that Peter Tscherkassky's 
Cinemascope trilogy is actually contact printed in short stretches (much of 
it using a laser pointer) rather than optically printed.  He must surely have 
used an optical printer in some of his films (maybe Happy End, for ex.), but 
since the previous poster only dropped his name without specific films, I 
thought it was a point worth clarifying...

Baillie's CASTRO STREET has no optical printing in it.  It's all in-camera 
matting or A/B/C lab printing.

Also, it periodically needs to be said that Pat O'Neill's 7362 has NO optical 
printing in it whatsoever.  It's all contact printing and hand-processing.  A 
lot of people tend to talk about Pat's optical work, then show 7362 as an 
example in both public screenings and classes (sorry Jason!).  Pat's first 
foray into optical printing came approximately two years later in his 
installation piece SCREEN (1969), and then with RUNS GOOD, etc. after that.

That said, Pat is, as has already been said, an unparalleled artist in the 
medium, and though optical printing was for him merely a technological tool for 
achieving quite advanced aesthetic ideals, he is unsurpassed in his artful and 
visionary use of the thing.  Probably the most convenient and exemplary short 
film of his for explaining, demonstrating, or teaching optical printing work is 
SAUGUS SERIES, which in some ways functions as both a notebook of incredible 
visual ideas pretty much without precedent, and an unintentional compendium of 
highly diverse suggestive uses for the optical printer.  But you pretty much 
can't go wrong with ANYTHING Pat's made.

Re: [Frameworks] times for dektol and 7363

2014-08-04 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
I’ve used Dektol with hi-con plenty, but my experience is that exposure times 
are VERY short, definitely less than 1 min with the chemistry at room 
temperature, even when I dilute the developer.  (It slows considerably as the 
chemistry gets exhausted, of course.)  I rate hi-con at ASA 12 when I shoot it, 
so that could make a difference in time to proper exposure.  Like Christopher 
suggests, I do use a safelight with 7363 and just eyeball proper exposure, but 
I find it VERY easy to miss the mark  end up with black film.  (I also process 
as negative, since I don’t love the idea of dealing with scary bleach.)  

I’m certainly not a lab expert, but I do demos of this regularly enough with my 
students to feel pretty confident that my results are repeatable and that these 
very fast development times aren’t just a one-time quirk.

Can anyone else confirm this?
Roger


On Aug 4, 2014, at 2:08 PM, Chris G spy...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi Erin,
 
 7363 is orthochromatic and is process until completion, so you can't *really* 
 overprocess it. It is extremely forgiving in terms of time and temperature. 
 I'd recommend processing under a safelight so you can watch the process. 
 Using a paper developer such as Dektol will afford you a wider range of 
 tones/greys over film developers and is a great way to play with the stock. 
 D-19 is a high-contrast developer and will typically give you black or white 
 with little in between. Usually I process short strands (40'/12m or less) of 
 7363 in trays or buckets with paper developer and a safelight until it looks 
 done. Guessing around 5-6 minutes at 68F/20C. I've honestly never checked 
 the time but have had a lot of success with this method.
 
 Cheers,
 Christopher Gorski

Thanks for the tip Roger. I imagined if there were any that they'd be probably 
direct animation. I know Brakhage made Night Music on it, but I highly doubt 
it's projectable (or that he made a 70mm print of it!) That said, I also don't 
know how the machine would handle any direct originals to begin with. Probably 
fine... but also probably something worth checking.

Commission might be the best way to go; though I do know that orphaned 70mm can 
be hard to come by. According to a projectionist I was talking to, fresh leader 
is like a $ grand or so. The couple theaters left that do show IMAX still throw 
their trailers out from what I understand (for scavenging), and you 
occasionally see one on ebay. A performance is a possibility too...

Unfortunately, the timeframe to do so might be too short in general - I just 
learned that a very large theater here (the biggest in Texas!) is apparently 
doing the switchover this winter/spring, and I thought it might be a nice send 
off to that mechanical beast (if the theater is interested too). That said, 
it's unclear whether they're going to get rid of it, though considering how 
much space it takes up, I presume they will... but, as said before, all very 
tentative and under investigation.

In general if any of you other folk have been playing around with it, have some 
laying around that you were thinking of doing something with and so on, be in 
touch.

[Frameworks] HD/SD/DVD

2014-07-27 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
All,

Since in recent days we’ve been discussing codecs  other topics that’re, 
stricto sensu, not film-related, I hoped I might start a similar thread that’s 
probably relevant to most of us still making work on celluloid.  I’ve been 
submitting work to festivals after a long break, and while most of the 
festivals now allow online submissions (which, as long as they don’t go through 
Withoutabox, is a pretty great time saver), but a few festivals still require 
DVD screeners.  I tried to make a DVD of my HD video (using Encore, since my 
new laptop no longer has DVD Studio Pro, which I’d used in the past), and the 
results were so bad that I’m reluctant to send it out.  Does anyone have advice 
about how best to massage HD content into a not-entirely-terrible shape for 
burning to DVD?  Am I inherently going to end up with worse-than-YouTube video? 
 I really feel like it’d be a waste of an entry fee to send along what I 
produced on the first round, so I’m hoping there’s some solution out there 
that’ll produce much better results.

 Lunch Break comes to mind. I feel like there was a thread similar to this
 a while back, so I apologize if this is redundant, but I wasn't able to
 find anything through a search of the archive.

I’d saved your message when you first announced the launch of Exploded View, 
and I now have occasion to get in touch to see if you’d want to play host to my 
multi-projector roadshow.  Looks like I might be headed West on I-10 in late 
January 2015.  Any chance that date could work for your calendar?  If so, I’d 
love to drop by  see what you’ve got going there.  Might be my last tour for a 
while too—it’s been more than 3 years since my last one  with the new job I 
just started, I don’t think I’ll be able to sneak away quite as regularly.  
Date’s a little flexible for the moment, but there are one or two things I’m 
waiting to hear back about on either end of my road trip, so that’ll lock 
things in a little more.  If you want to campaign for a specific window, feel 
free to do that  I’ll see what I can do.

If you don’t know the roadshow, here’s an old-ish iteration (from Austin in 
2009):

Re: [Frameworks] query for those who teach filmmaking

2014-04-17 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
On the original topic of editing software, I’d throw my weight behind switching 
to Premiere.  At the University of Florida, I experimented for a semester with 
FCPX, and I found it buggy  dumbed down in ways that made it hard to do things 
that I’ve come to expect from my editing systems.  The magnetic timeline is one 
of the worst innovations I’ve ever encountered, and the commingling of audio 
and video tracks just makes everything look chaotic.  I’m sure I could’ve 
applied myself  gotten more familiar with the quirks of this system, but I 
preferred instead to switch over to Premiere, which had much more of the feel 
of FCP 7 and also had the advantage of integrating seamlessly with Premiere and 
After Effects.  

I’m also on the UFVA list and this discussion has come up frequently.  FCPX 
does have a few defenders, but it has produced much more dissatisfaction.

I’ve just relocated to Ohio State, and we’ve started anew in Premiere.  The 
person who had been teaching the video classes here was teaching FCPX, but he 
seemed excited to switch over after the troubles he’s had with FCP.

As for hardware, here at Ohio State, our labs all have iMacs.  The older ones 
really do slow down when you attempt to do anything slightly complex; even the 
newer ones are noticeably slower than the Mac Pros I left behind in Florida.  
It is a great cost savings though, and if you only have to pay with your time, 
it just depends on how much you’ll hate having to go make a pot of tea while 
you render a sequence.  It’s certainly not impossible to do interesting, 
layered work on an iMac though.

2 cents,
R.

 I would steer clear of iMacs for video editing, they are underpowered. If you

 with small solid state drives, so you have to buy additional external hard

 I disagree with $4000.  A 21 iMac - what a school would likely be running 
 Final Cut on - starts at $1299.  I assume there are bulk discounts for

Re: [Frameworks] Films about remediation

2014-04-02 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
In a similar vein to the list that Andy offers here, Hollis Frampton’s Hapax 
Legomena 1 (nostalgia) makes cinema out of still photos (made cinematic by 
burning them on a hot plate).

And closer to the titles in your original list, Josh (J.B.) Mabe’s “Pastoral” 
reshoots on 16mm a YouTube video of Stan Brakhage’s “Stellar,” which of course 
was made on 16mm film.

And if you’re interested in digital remediation of analogue tape, Evan Meaney’s 
“We Things at Play” turns a VHS tape from 1987 into a digital glitch fest.  
Many of his videos might actually fit this call, including the final 
installment of his Ceibas Cycle, “The Well of Representation,” a digital remake 
of Hollis Frampton’s “Gloria!” as an NES-era video game with a spectral, 
glitched-out ending.

Warhol's Outer and Inner Space is a classic film/video merger.

Re: [Frameworks] Films about remediation

2014-04-02 Thread Beebe, Roger W.
Just had another thought about remediation, although one that moves in a 
slightly different direction than the previous posts.  I was thinking about the 
history of Kinescope recordings, where live TV would be shot on film off of a 
video monitor prior to the introduction of videotape (and, in certain 
circumstances and geographical regions, significantly after that as well).  I 
remember the first time I saw one of these films, I was confused by the feeling 
that there was an extra screen inside the screen.  (I think it was the slight 
reflection off the glass of the monitor that tipped me off.)  There are decades 
of such recordings out there, some fairly significant.  Not sure if this would 
fit in with your programming, but I still thought I'd share.

There's Hollis Frampton's TRAVELLING MATTE (1971), part of his HAPAX LEGOMENA 
suite. He filmed with a portapak and subsequently filmed the video with 16mm 
film: given the low light conditions created by Frampton's shooting through a 
tube made by his hand (his inversion of the traditional travelling matte) the 
distortions in the video and the graininess of the bw film create a strange

visitors to Gainesville, Florida in just under three weeks (Feb. 21-23) for the 
10th annual FLEXfest (which will also be my last as Artistic Director).  Other 
guests include Rei Hayama from [+] in Tokyo, Guillaume Cailleau from 
LaborBerlin, Sally Golding from Unconscious Archives (etc.) in London, 
Sébastien Ronceray from Braquage in Paris, and the Trinchera Ensemble (Elena 
Pardo, Rafael Balboa, Morris Trujillo, and Eric Ostrowski) from Mexico 
City/Seattle.  There will be screenings of works by our visitors and the 
various groups they are associated with in the evenings alongside roundtable 
discussions during the days.  More information is on the website at 
flexfest.orghttp://flexfest.org.  All events are free and open to the public.

If you’re within a reasonable traveling distance from Gainesville, it should be 
worth the trip.  (I’ll be making the trip back from Columbus, Ohio myself.)  If 
any of you feel tempted to attend and need suggestions for accommodation c., 
don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Best,
Roger

You can buy Full Blue (aka CTB) gels from Lee Filters in small sheets.  
Precisely what these are designed for...

Hi Frameworks,

Quick question. I'm shooting some film indoors and most my studio lights are 
CFL daylight balanced. However I also have some really nice theater lights 
which will come in handy, however they only take the tungsten type linear 
bulbs. Any ideas what gel I need to use to make them daylight balanced? Ideally 
I want something I can attach permanently to the front of the light... so 
something that wont melt would be great. Any suggestions?

Just rotate the turret out of the way  flip it out  clean with a lens 
cleaning tissue, right?  Shouldn't be a complicated operation, unless your

Good luck!

Re: [Frameworks] Destructive Film Practices pre-1962

2012-06-05 Thread Beebe,Roger W
Raphael Montañez Ortiz's films are pretty destructive found-footage afairs.  
Golf uses hole punches.  Cowboy and 'Indian' Film and Newsreel subject 
found footage to random recutting with a tomahawk (per Ortiz's description, 
although one suspects a proper splicer was used).  All those films date from 
the late 1950s.

 Fellow Frameworkers,
 
 Does anyone have suggestions for films 1945-1962 that create film
 imagery in a destructive way? e.g. scratching, bleaching, hole
 punching, etc.
 
 I am thinking of works such as Isadore Isou's Venom and Eternity
 (1951), less of Len Lye's Free Radicals (1958).
 
 Suggestions of works later than '62, up to say 1966 are also welcome
 [i.e. Carolee Schneemann Fuses (1965)]
 
 Thank you in advance,

Re: [Frameworks] books on alternative/diy film distribution

2012-04-29 Thread Beebe,Roger W
There's a wonderful, as-yet unavailable collection edited by Andrea Grover and 
Ed Halter called The Microcinema Primer that'd be just what you're looking for. 
 I know they're trying to figure out a way to make this available in relatively 
short order, so hopefully there'll be news before long about precisely how 
that'll be.

(I have one of the 50 exemplars they made to satisfy a grant.  It's really a 
great resource, covering a wide range of DIY practices.)

hello Frameworkers,

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on good books or articles about 
alternative film distribution.  I know there are a number of texts out there 
focusing on self distribution of independent features, but I am hoping to find 
something that addresses experimental, short, and other sorts of films, and 
addresses things such as film festivals, micro-cinemas, and the like... truly 
DIY distribution for the filmmakers working far from the mainstream system.

thanks!

Re: [Frameworks] Ektachrome RIP????

Does Fuji make Velvia in super 8?  I'm supposed to be headed to Berlin in May 
with a bunch of students to make super 8 films for 5 weeks, and it's going to 
be a big bummer if all we have to shoot on by then is Tri-X.  (Or will we even 
have that?)

Is Velvia an E-6 process?  I'd like to be able to hand process the stuff--just 
finally learned how to hand-process Ekta last summer.

This is really bumming me out.
