I could only watch it in short spurts as internet is terrible here. But looked very nice...post up more film scans! What is going on with the RobinoScan? I had never heard of it. Did you build it for yourself or to market the scanner?

DDTJRAC May Day 2023 almost snuck by me this year. Too busy with things. When I was a kid I always looked forward to May. In 1960's L.A., around May / early June, apricots would be the first fruit in the store. Then peaches a little later and plums. The fruit had some taste and fragrance back then. Now all the stone fruit tastes like rubber, has no fragrance and rots before it ripens. The peaches have the fuzz buffed off them and are coated with anti-fungals. They are picked green and only need to last as long as it takes to ship and sell them. The bananas we eat taste nothing like the bananas we had back then. That variety died out because of a disease. And our current variety seems to be destined for the same fate, from what I've read.

People wearing masks back in 1927! May have been a dusty ride. A lot of the films on eBay are form pickers that don't know a thing about it. No sample photos or anything. This guy gives a good rundown, but the film is unaffordable unless you are a stock footage company that sells it by the second or a collector with $$. You can get 8mm films pretty cheap on eBay. But they are generally too low Q for me. If it was pro shot 8mm, then maybe. But the amateur 8mm is usually pretty bad. Anyone that progressed in their home movie journey would usually move on to 16mm...unless they were a broke bohemian!

Pretty bulky. Don't know how it would work if you had to crawl on the ground.

Years ago, I had a scan done on 8mm. They used grain reduction on it. Don't know what they used. Kinda plasticky look. When you pay others for scans you are stuck with what you get unless you run copilot with the tech and pay more $$...as well as an airplane ticket to get there. This is from my 8mm film Gone! Up in Smoke. 1975 with Barbara LeMay. OP, you can't give em stills from 8mm. Unless he wants a postage stamp photo. That was how I got into archival cine' film work. I needed some stills to round out a photo project. I bought some 8mm films on eBay and made stills from them. Terrible quality even 5 x 7 size. So, I tried 16mm. Better, but still nothing to brag about. But...seeing some interesting films in 16mm got me interested in working with cine' film. My suggestion is find a student volunteer to shoot stills on set. They can get credit in their resume, and you can get some proper stills. Good luck! Eastman House First 16mm film I had scanned. Perry did it. This is a raw scan. Daniel D.

Bub...you need to test out all the options. Make a YT or Vimeo video on it. That way it helps you and others out. Or at least make a record of still photo setups to show you what you get. OK, you can't test out everything, but you still can test a lot. In the old days they would shoot a scene a few days ahead with stand-ins to get the lighting just right. They just didn't 'swag' things. Greta Garbo 'Camille' 1936 DDTJRAC

Just how things are. It is not by mistake. Just as some films have a blue cast all over it. It is by choice. Also, they can get away with things in the dark when you can't see what is going on very well. But...I may be wrong. I've seen a number of films where the dialogue was unintelligible. You would think that after the thousands of eyes involved in making a film would view it, someone would say something. But no... the audio is terrible...no one says a thing. It could be the same with post work. It is subpar and no one says a thing. If you want the facts, go interview the filmmakers to see why they make the movies so dark. <><><><> Selection from vintage skateboard sticker archive. Daniel D.

I wish someone would do an in-depth shoot / report on the show in still or video. I'd love to go, but finances are always an issue. Back in the day when I had some $ and would visit Vegas, NAB wasn't of interest. Now that NAB is of interest, $ is the problem. Vegas was fun!

Been downsizing and cleaning up things. I finally found the lost SD card from a 2018 IR flash shoot at B&H in NYC. It got lost a short time after I shot it. As in...lost so fast I didn't have time to put it on the computer. It was Christmas time and I was out doing some street photography on a Sunday afternoon in Manhattan. It started to rain. I was in the area, so I thought I'd step into B&H to give them some infrared radiation. I spent about 20 minutes looking around. Took 109 IR flash photos then left. All candid stuff. I was in a rush to get back to Jersey City as I was leaving that night for Ohio. Being is a rush, the card got misplaced when I packed up. Glad I finally found it. My worst nightmare was finding the card after the data had degraded. You can't keep SD card data forever and not plug it is every few years to keep the data fresh. I was told they hold data for 10 years without a plug in. The longest I've gone is 5 -6 years without a plug in and data was still good on the SD card. Nothing spectacular from the shoot. But it was interesting to do and sure beats standing in the rain! Zir can also go in 'Burkas & Hijabs of New York' project. I like it when I get photos that are useful in other projects. More bang for the buck so to speak. IR flash does not go too far. It is not the best thing for long distance shots. You benefit very little from available light unless you are getting tons of it. But if you were doing staged work you could set up a bunch of IR flashes for distance. They got a room when leaving B&H for people to unbox and fondle their new gear. If it was a gun store people would want to unbox and start loading up! Still doing post work going through the photos. Lots of post work. These are all shot from the hip with zone focus and zone exposure. Consequently...lots and lots of PP! <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Yes, agree. But that is a project for you or someone else to do. I work in hundreds of areas of collection and am only 1 person, so I am limited with the amount of time I can spend on any single project. Although I was born and raised on film, I'm all digital now. So, the amount of time I invested in the project was what I wanted to spend on it. To follow a giant group of auctions individually is a lot of work. Since many people on the forum are international, you would have to survey eBay worldwide as well to do it justice. That is even more work. <><><><> Daniel D.

I meant it looked attached with a wire to the main camera. Was it common that the still photographer would shoot right along the main camera on most scenes like this?

Fantastic job! Some of the filter tests are hard to see the difference. If you get filters like that, shoot some stills to do split screen comparison with and without the filters in addition to the video.

After the actor walked by the main camera, the mystery camera took position. Camera looks to be attached to the main camera. Screen photo from Superbad 2007 movie.

I'm thinking LED's will be the future. CA has already banned small gas generators at some date. CA is the model for all of America. I don't know if production crews will get a pass with gas gens. But if you have to use a battery generator on set (aka a bank of batteries) then LED's will draw less power on the batteries.

Post some examples of the scans OP.

The highest version of Lightroom I have is Lightroom 5. I still use Lightroom 3 on some old computers. I always wondered what the new Lightroom did. Here is a good video showing some of the features. Probably the Lightroom on the cloud does even more. Or maybe the Classic is kept a year behind the cloud version. Anyone know?

Wow...the thieves in Frisco are even faster than I thought. I didn't read them all, but one I read said it all happened within a few seconds. And they had hired security! CNN team robbed while working on San Francisco - Google Search You want to shoot in Frisco...use a burner cell phone!

Spooky. Looked him up while the film was on to see what he was doing...and he just died.

So pretty useless as-is for scanning?

Nice film lotto they hit.

Thanks for the feedback!
