The Independent Media Arts Alliance is currently looking into this. Just the fact that this equipment is preserved and running and maintained somewhere is so important.I posted a few photos of their equipment on my twitter feed if any of you want to see some photos, my handle is: @magnet_mountain A few years ago, as commercial labs were sending much of this stuff away for scrap metal... I really felt that it was important for artist run centres and film-co-ops to maintain this gear (especially the larger stuff), even if it didn't get a high volume of use by members... because individual artists aren't likely to be able to house a 35mm optical printer or animation stand in their studio... so for artists who use this equipment, they need to be able to find it and access it somewhere... even if this equipment doesn't get high volume use... once it disappears, it will be zero-volume use. Sadly now though, there seems to be a trend of centres getting rid of stuff that doesn't get a lot of use, in favour of newer equipment that gets rented more often. I totally understand the logic from an administration side... but it does mean that artists working in these processes have to look harder and travel farther to find specialized equipment... and because much of this stuff is not manufactured any more... and because after being sold several times... much of it is eventually sold for scrap metal because it takes up precious space... some of these things are becoming like endangered species, and as they become more rare, we find ourselves dealing with endangered art practices. So, I'm glad that there is a solid set of equipment at the National archives being preserved and maintained in working order... (even if it's mostly archiving commercial work now, at least it's in working order and being maintained). I just wish it was easier for artist run centres and film co-ops to also have the resources (money, space, etc) to maintain this equipment as well for artists who wish to access and use them to make new work. It's not easy for the centres and co-ops. They have a lot of challenges. So, I'm raising my cup of coffee in a toast to all you diligent workers and advocates at centres, labs, and co-ops around the world, keeping equipment like this alive and running and accessible to artists. Thank you!Your job is not always easy, but it is important and appreciated. This morning cup of coffee toast is for you!

All H.264 encoding software is not created equal. Use x264, which is freeware available as a stand-alone plug-in that works with stuff like MPEG Streamclip, and also comes built-in with recent versions of Handbrake (also freeware). There are more tweaks available in the interface than Carter has pills. I've never had any odd color or contrast problems using the presets (since the individual setting parameters are mostly WAY over my head), but if you did get results you don't like, you could probably find a setting that would do the trick if you got under the hood far enough. Anyway, as Aaron said, the problem may be the playback software, not the files you've generated themselves. I agree with Aaron that H.264 is usually the best thing to send out, if only due to file size. For shorter pieces, I'd use ProRes if the venue accepts it.

From: djte...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 17:42:29 -0700 To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Subject: Re: [Frameworks] removing dust marks on transfer I was thinking it would be an expensive process to remove digitally. It's not necessarily _monetarily_ expensive. You can do it manually if you can afford the time. Of course, you want as clean a transfer as possible, but there are still likely to be some big nasty dust spot every X number of frames. The trick to manual dust removal is that your spot is only on one frame while the image likely persists over several frames. 1. So you put the film in a timeline in FCP or Premiere or whatever in two layered tracks. 2. The top is the copy-to-be-repaired and the bottom os the patch. 3. Offset the bottom track/layer a couple frames in either direction. 4. Make a four-point garbage matte around the first dust spot, applying a lot of smoothing to the outline and a lot of feather to the edge. 5. Voila. The frame below should now fill in the dust spot. 6. Copy the matte, paste it into the other frames with dust spots, and move it over the spots. (This is easier than drawing a new matte). Frames with more than one spot need more than one matte. 7. Review each filled spot. Most will probably look OK as the part of the patch frame peeking through will be similar to the hole in the repaired frame. Where the camera or subject have moved enough, though, there will be no match and the patched hole will as obvious as the original spot. So we need to get a proper fill under the hole: A. Cut and trim the video in the patch track, so you can move this particular patch frame around without messing up any others. B. An appropriate fill area is likely to be available either in some other part of the patch frame, or a on a frame offset in the other direction - i.e. if your patch track is +2 frames offset from the main track, a frame at -1 offset might work. C. To save time you'll prefer to do one or the other: 1) offset the XY center of the existing patch frame, 2) try a different patch frame a few frames away, but not both unless it's absolutely necessary. 8. of course, you only want to perform this operation on frames that are for sure going to be in the finished film, so it comes after you have a tight edit (but before you do any slo motion effects in software...) ... Yes, I've done this for a half-hour film. Yes, it was incredibly tedious. Yes, it took a very long time. Yes, it took several passes because I kept finding spots I'd missed on the previous pass. Yes, the results were worth it. In this case anyway. As Jeff noted I think only half-jokingly, a certain amount of imperfections can be part of a filmic aesthetic. It all depends on material and purpose. Sometimes you'll want a little dust, sometimes it won't matter, sometimes you need the frame to be really clean to preserve the fragile poetics of a shot. So when I say my labor was worth it, that's contextualized by how much clean-frame-vs.-dusty-frame mattered in terms of the aesthetics of the particular work at hand. YMMV. ___ 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

The simplest is to convert all your frames into stills and do it with Adobe Photoshop (even though this is a brute-force method, it offers the most perfect result), or you can use the paint technique in AfterEffects which allows a certain amount of easy repeat from frame to frame. Depends on how much time, money and labor you want to put towards fixing the problem. Generally, if redoing the transfer is a possibility, you should do that. If it isn't, the only method that will produce high quality results is some variant of frame-by-frame retouching.

Better tracking, better handling, less multiple carriers, faster, but certainly a bit more $. But not worse in terms of handling or reliable delivery. Just insure it for the max.

Kevin From: kenpaulrosent...@hotmail.com To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 10:30:12 -0800 Subject: [Frameworks] Canon 1014XL-S/ 814XL-S problems with 100D film stock This issue first cropped up--for me--back in 2000 when I was teaching abroad in Singapore for a couple of years. I was purchasing large blocks of super 8 film from Europe--all stocks--and was receiving cartridges that had broken spindles, or would stop mid-filming wherein the camera would flash the internal 'exposed' signal. This was primarily happening with Kodachrome cartridges, years before the EK 100D was released. From around 2004 to 2009, my students and I shot dozens of EK 100D rolls for for hand processing tests/projects and I don't recall a single cartridge issue, though its certainly possible the quality control has plummeted. Anyway, when this issue occurred for me, I'd take note of how much footage I'd shot, then pop the cartridge out, re-insert and continue shooting. Most of the time that worked, but some times it did not. I strongly suggest giving Marvin a call at Photo Center in LA. He's the man when it comes to Super 8 camera issues and may suggest something apart from a cartridge specific issue. It's possible that finer cameras, such as the 814 and 1014XLS are more sensitive to cartridge irregularities.

These would not be so much ethnographic works which are part of a sustained cultural exchange, but films made as a result of the filmmaker passing through and acknowledging the looming spectre/problem/pleasure of the tourist film.
