  1. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. 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!

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

  10. Do DP's ever do their own still photography to document the film for their own record...or is it frowned upon? I'm not talking about grabbing a fast shot with the cell phone, I mean a few hundred or a thousand photos. Now, if it is OK for the DP to do their own still work, maybe the DP is too busy to do it? If it is not common practice for the DP to shoot much still work; can the DP get free access to all the still photos taken by the official still photographer for the movie? <><><><> Selection from Daniel D.

  11. Wow...19 years later! I had no idea this forum was that old. Frisco has changed a stupendous amount in 19 years. Anyone shooting in Frisco better have theft insurance for having your gear stolen while you shoot. As well as insurance for lost production if it cannot be replaced due to the robbery. I'm not joking. And it is not only Frisco. Any large city where crime is not prosecuted. Camera Crew Robbed of $35,000 in Gear at Gunpoint in San Francisco | PetaPixel PetaPixel... I'd go into lots more detail, but they don't like politics here. Just work smart people.
  12. Look at this 16mm print of Taxi Driver that sold on eBay. With shipping and sales tax, it is about $420 for a faded red print. Film collectors would rather project a faded print than watch a restored version on Blu-ray or 4K. Now, I got lots of faded red films. But usually they cost $5 - $20. And the only reason I have them is there are no other options, and they are rare. But I'm talking about short subject films, not feature films that are available on disc. I'm thinking if this was a pristine, grade A color 16mm print it would be $2,000 - $2,500...but just guessing. Full rundown: https://archive.org/search?query=taxi+driver+teoli On the Blu-ray bonus features, Martin Scorsese talked about having to desaturate the blood at the end of Taxi Driver to avoid an X rating. He never did fix it and come out with an uncensored version. Maybe he is waiting until 50th anniversary in 2026. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

  14. Free download... Found it at the Large Format Forum. I won't post their link because the bastards banned me numerous times...but I hold no prejudice and will give them credit for the source. The Permanence and Care of Color Photographs: Traditional and Digital Color Prints, Color Negatives, Slides, and Motion Pictures by Henry Wilhelm with contributing author Carol Brower http://www.wilhelm-research.com/pdf/HW_Book_761_Pages_HiRes_v1c.pdf The Internet Archive has a copy of it, but you have to borrow it by the hour. Crazy! I was going to upload to the I.A., but was worried someone would complain and take it down. I had spent a month scanning + another month uploading 3,000+ pages of 1970's Playboy VIP Club magazines to the I.A. One day, Playboy complained about the material, and it was all taken down. The I.A. would have normally banned me for that and was lucky they didn't delete my hundreds of thousands of other scans. But that is how the shits in Frisco think. One offense and they kill it all. So. I don't want to push my luck. Everything the archivist deals with is more or less copyrighted. It is the archivist's job to determine whether it falls in the area of the greater good or the greater right. Agfa color photo paper 6 Months Sun Fade Test Selection from Dye Stability Testing of Color Imaging Media II by Daniel D. Teoli Jr. I had an outstanding website dedicated to dye stability testing of color imaging media at Tumblr for many years. But they deleted it along with the rest of my 49 websites in 2019. All the fade testing material was lost. I still have most of the scans, but have not had any time to recreate it. My fade testing is basic and to the point as opposed to Wilhelm's method. Still, Wilhelm has some good fade photos in his book, but also lots of graphs and charts. Well, 700+ pages of material, so something for everyone, whether you like photos or are of the anal 'graph and chart' nature. Also, lots of photos not related to fading and also some cine' related photos. Wilhelm used controlled fading with a room full of lights on 24 hours a day. I could not afford a room full of lights, a room to store them in nor the electric bill running the lights day and night for a decade or more. So, I used Bob Pace's method of sun testing. I also like my method of cutting material into 2 pieces and fade testing one part of it. 6-month sun fade test of a dye-based print made on a Canon MG2522 printer.

  15. Have not had time to keep up with the thread, but this popped up. Outdated? What replaces HDR? HDR generally looks better than non-HDR. Maybe not 100% of the time, but maybe 98% - 99% in my experience with still photography.
  16. I was listening to a Buckey Firearms podcast. They were discussing the Baldwin gun accident. They mentioned a movie using a mirror to shoot a close up of gun scene. The gun was never pointed at the camera, the camera photographed the gun's reflection in the mirror. Something to test out if you don't like a gun pointed at you. <><><><> Selection from Memes Collection Part of the Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Popular Culture Archive.
  17. I had posted earlier about a Facebook Marketplace prom girl project I was working on that was an offshoot from my efforts to sell / downsize at the Marketplace. I thought I was done with the prom girls, but I kept seeing new offshoot collection prospects, as I organized it for storage and archiving on M-Disc. So, begrudgingly I delved deeper into it. (I say begrudgingly because I have countless projects that need completing and I don't need any more. Plus being an ADD I get bored quickly.) Still, I must be true to the subject matter, so I delved a little deeper. I had complained about not finding enough black prom girls to make a black collection. After looking through another couple thousand photos, I found enough black girls to make a small collection. I also saw that many of the prom girls had photos taken from behind. When it comes to gals, I like more of what is front. Even so, I made a collection of verso shots. I also made a collection for mermaid dresses and another for casual photos during shopping for prom outfits at the store. Well, eventually I added another 1782 photos to the original 2347 photos, making the completed project 4129. Some collections were small, but still interesting...like the bodybuilder prom girls. In my earlier days of work, I didn't work to the maximum. My M.O. was to get one great shot for my portfolio and move on to something else. Once I started to work with archival material, I learned that there is a big picture involved and the concept of extended projects came about. We can learn an important lesson about maximization from photographer Josef Koudleka “…What interests me is taking photographs to the maximum – the maximum that exists in a situation and the maximum that I myself can produce from it.” Koudelka goes on to say he will re-shoot a project repeatedly “to reassure me I have in-fact achieved the maximum.” ~ From World Photography by Bryn Campbell Another example of maximizing our work is that of Ken Burns. He explores a topic from the alpha to the omega and back. He leaves no stone unturned. Of course, this does not always work out if you are an ADD like me. For me I know I am headed for trouble when I become sick of a project and can't go on much more. Then I know I've reached 'my' maximum, irrespective of the project status. Daniel D.

  18. Google image search DDTJRAC I had no idea they even existed. Facebook Marketplace mixed in one with the prom girl's project search. That was how I learned about them. Probably people with pools know about them. Pretty cool, but I guess you have to live with one for the final verdict. Living with a thing or person always has the final say.
  19. Finally finished up the project. 2213 photos. 9 collections came out of the initial idea. Project covers West Coast, East Coast, Rustbelt and a few other states. I was surprised West Coast didn't have much going on compared to the East Coast. Maybe the girls out West don't bother with secondhand clothes much or they are not into proms...dunno. West Coast girls tend to not model the clothes. They use photos of the dresses on hangers. Didn't see many black prom girls. Just a handful. Maybe they don't go to proms or don't sell their clothes...who knows. The ones that did show up had poor photography. Although I did see a standout black girl for the curvy collection, with great photography and look. But she was not as curvy as the white girl, so she got bumped from the headline photo. Blacks are 13% of the population. Maybe you can clue me into where all the black prom girls are. I never went to a prom or homecoming, so don't know much about them. It was interesting getting a glimpse of the fashions they wear. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.
