Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Baia ad 1948 - DDTJRAC Perry had made a film trimmer something like this to cut custom size leader. His was just more robust than the Baia. Look at that crazy fade attachment! Don't know how it worked, but came with a cable release. Been finishing up scanning gloss catalogs / paperwork. Still have about 10 inches to go. Will start on matte black ink soon. They have to be flatbed scanned by hand or the matte back ink fouls the sheet fed rollers and everything gets ruined. So far, this year have scanned 20 + linear feet of paper. I still tons more to scan, but it still was a big help with freeing up a little floor space. When you have no space for shelving...the floor is your shelving. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.

Mark Dunn Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That fader is a variable ND filter, I think. I had one for Super-8 years ago, in a linear form- a strip of polyester that varied from clear to opaque along its length. You just pulled it through a slot in a matte box. It was pretty terrible but I think one or two survive in a film of mine. You could backwind and fade-in to get a dissolve but I don't think I ever tried that. I did quite a bit of split-screen work with mattes and a backwinder. I had the film up on youtube but I think content matching on the soundtrack got it removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joerg Polzfusz Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I guess that the movement of the wire in the cable release is simply moving the discs/vignetter. Or does it have an integrated clockwork motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Polzfusz Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 BTW Elmo sold a similar fader (variable nd filter) for its Super 103 and other cameras with a non-TTL exposure system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Polzfusz Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Bolex/Bolsey also sold something like the „vignetter“ - with a clockwork motor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
