Made a mistake. Movie with Cinemascope special is not 'Summer Stock' it is 'The Girl Can't Help It.' (1956)

I finished up 20-month test from 9.1.22 to 5.1.24 and SDD worked fine. Next test is early 2025.

Criterion's DVD of 'Summer Stock' (1950) special features has a nice short on the history of Cinemascope. Highly recommended.

When you do your tests, always go the distance...from the alpha to the omega. I tried a few other times with this test, but didn't post them. I found 1 second is too long and .05 seconds is too short. It looks like .20 or .30 of a second per frame is the sweet spot.

I tested out this concept in 2 other speeds - .10 seconds & .20 seconds per sample frame. It is something. You can reduce a 15 or 20 minute film down to a few seconds and still get a decent feel for it. .10 seconds per frame: Breast Reduction Surgery Sampler Test .10 Sec Per Frame 22 Sec Total D. D.

Teoli Jr. A. C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Now the only problem is how to do it on a fast and affordable basis. This is especially useful plan if you have many hundred 'pig in a poke' home movies as I do. You can only put so much info in the description. And words can never take the place of seeing it. Stock footage companies could probably benefit from this technique as well. Both for their own internal use and for their customers use. It would make it easier for their clients to sift through the material to buy. Once the customer finds films with potential they can view the entire reel. Call it the 'Synopsis of Film' or 'Visual Synopsis of Film.' In the end we both do the same thing; it is just that I archive films to donate to the historical record, whereas they do it to sell by the second.

Pawnbroker (1964) Nude Flashback Clip D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive NSFW Customer asks for more money from the pawnbroker (Rod Steiger) and show off her breasts and offer sex for the money. Clip also shows nudity in the flashbacks to the German concertation camp in WW2. One of the earliest box office films to show nudity. Looks to be #2 on the nudity film list. Wikipedia: The distinction of being the first mainstream American actress to appear nude in a starring role went to actress Jayne Mansfield in the 1963 film Promises! Promises!, though her pubic area is never visible on film. The film was banned in Cleveland and some other cities, though later the Cleveland court decided the nude scenes in the film were not lewd. Both the original and an edited version enjoyed box office success elsewhere. As a result of the film's success, Mansfield landed on the Top 10 list of Box Office Attractions for that year. However, Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert wrote, "Finally in Promises! Promises! she does what no Hollywood star ever does except in desperation. She does a nudie. In 1963, that kind of box office appeal was all she had left." Mansfield's autobiographical book Jayne Mansfield's Wild, Wild World—which she co-wrote with Mickey Hargitay—was published directly after the release of the film. It contains 32 pages of black-and-white photographs from the movie printed on glossy paper. Photographs of a naked Mansfield on the set were published in the June 1963 edition of Playboy. The Pawnbroker, released in 1964, breached the Motion Picture Production Code with actresses Linda Geiser and Thelma Oliver (who later became the mystic and yoga teacher Krishna Kaur Khalsa) fully exposing their breasts. Allied Artists refused to cut the film and released it to theaters without a Production Code seal. The nudity resulted in a backlash from moral and religious conservatives, including the Catholic Legion (which by that time had become a virtually powerless fringe organization). However, critical and overall public response was positive, and many Catholics rebuked the Legion's condemnation of the film. The National Council of Churches even gave the movie an award for Best Picture of the Year. Some of the flashbacks are too fast for my liking. But would have to see them in slightly longer time to tell what works best. You have to test these things out. Very easy with digital, not so easy with film. <><><><> Daniel D.

Flatbed scanned 35mm negative film is about equal to a 3 or 4 mp digital P&S camera...that is it. I'm sure the film fanboys will not agree. But put up or shut up fanboys. I don't pull this stuff out of my ass, as the kids like to say. I shot film for 3 decades starting in 1969 and digital from just before 2000. I also work extensively with film in the Archive. But more important than that, I test and test. My ego does not say...the tests say. Here is a minuscule recreation of some of the 'film vs digital' tests I had done many years ago. Tumblr deleted all my websites in 2019, so the material is all lost. But luckily, I had it on optical disc with the tests, as it was deleted a long ago from my drives. I didn't test any chrome films. Someone else will have to do that. Being a documentary photographer, I pretty much used negative film because it has more forgiving exposure latitude when grabbing fast shots on the street or available light photography. Most of my work was with Tri-X, Plus-X, Ilford FP4, HP5. Once in a while I'd shoot some Panatomic-X. Two Blind Beggars Hollywood, CA. 1972 - D.D.Teoli Jr. When you are doing fast, candid work you have no time for exposure meters. You guesstimate and shoot. That is not a good formula for shooting chromes. Whether film is not as sharp as digital does not matter that much...unless you demand maximum sharpness. For film has a certain character that is hard to reproduce with digital. You can use all the digital grain you like in post...but it is not organic and does not look the same as film. But you can come close sometimes. So, film and digital both have their pro and con qualities. Here are a few of the tests comparing Epson flatbed scanned 35mm film to digital. I've shown the full image taken with a crop sensor 6.1mp camera. A few of the close ups will follow. To see them all go to the link below. The film may have come out slightly better with a drum scan, but a better scan just shows the grain sharper...it does not magically make the film super sharp unless the sharpness is there. These tests were done with what the average prosumer person may use, as most people don't have a drum scanner. All tests were done with a tripod.

They all showed the same results...film is pretty low res stuff.

Well, higher res scans do a better job at making the grain sharper. And that is what you want. No one likes mushy grain. If you are comparing apples to apples, digital is much, much sharper than film. You can't compare 35mm film to a 35mm full frame sensor. The digital blows the film out of the water with res. At one time I had near 50 websites at Tumblr. One of them was on this very topic. But one day, Tumblr pulled the plug on me and deleted all of my websites. Almost a decade of work lost with all the sites. That is one of the reasons I never finished up my WordPress sites. The Internet Archive deleted my account a short time after Tumblr and many more years of work lost. It was only by chance it was all restored...more or less. The internet is not archival at all! Anyway, I have to recreate the 'film vs. digital' website. Luckily, I saved it all on optical disc...somewhere. (Now the tests I've done only test negative films and not chromes.) Film has some beautiful character to it. Personally, I love the grain, but film is just not as sharp as digital...if you are looking for sharpness. Every media has its pros and cons. The type of digital I like is when it looks something like film and not like plasticky digital with noisy shadow detail. Digital photo 2016 'Little Dicky' Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. Some of the digital sensors can recreate the organic character of film. If you magnify this image, you can see it in this monochrome sensor. No added grain...it is all sensor at a higher ISO. But this is not the kind of sensor you want in a scanner. This sensor also has an issue with burning out highlights.
