  1. You mean the stills? They are still from a movie called: The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl The movie clips have nothing to do with the screenshot stills. Two separate things. Just too bad you can't get any decent photos of her working. Just low-res garbage. Still, something is better than nothing.
  2. Some clips of Riefenstahl's early work... Clips Of Nazi Germany Leni Riefenstahl : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Here are a few screenshots I made of Riefenstahl working. Gives you an idea of the cameras they used , dolly work, direction, etc.
  3. That Riefenstahl was a helluva rock climber. Here she is in The Great Leap 1927. The Great Leap Leni Riefenstahl 1927 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
  4. OP...no. I like things pretty sharp. My 2k scanner is OK, but I'd like better.
  5. Lost in storage. She is inspecting an assault rifle with the military. Looked all over for it. Last time I saw it was 2 years ago when working in the storage locker. Now poof! Well, here is one from 1967 by Yousuf Karsh... Queen Elizabeth II April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022 DDTJRAC
  6. Was working on a job scanning 3,500 pages of old Sotheby's photo auction catalogs. Came across this on-set photo in a 1999 catalog and thought of you all.
  7. Been searching for months trying to get a basic work computer built. I tried to contact this company for some questions and look what I get...
  8. I had bought a couple of these books from Japan on eBay. They look like they are a book of odd or funny photos they find on the internet or somewhere else. Are they common / popular in Japan? Is there a name for this book or genre of books? What can you tell me about them? They are about 5 x 7 inches and +/- 250 pages. Some of the photos are (R) sex oriented, others are not. I will eventually upload to the I.A. in higher res. There are girly ads in the beginning and at the end of the book, but the rest of the book are all photos. The first photo, which is the cover, is a good representation of the photo mix in the book. Getting back to the girly ads...what are they about? Thanks!
  9. I had never heard of the magazine until I started on a project in 2021 to archive eBay's 'adult only' section, which they were shutting down on June 15, 2021. eBay routinely had about 800,000 listings in their adult only section. I was only able to review about 10% of them for the project. I didn't get much notice and I only had a few weeks to do the work; but eventually I was able to archive about 27,000 photos and screenshots for the eBay Adult Only project. A couple days before eBay was going to pull the plug to shut things down, I came across the Sex to Sexty magazines. I didn't have much time to screw around, but I could see it needed some archiving attention. So, I made a deal with a couple of sellers and picked up an instant mini-collection of 28 magazines for a few dollars per magazine. I just finished scanning the magazines, which totaled about 2000 scans. Very interesting going back to the late 60's and early 70's. Humor had no bounds back then. I am uploading them to the Internet Archive if they are of interest to you. <><><><> Press photo of Weegee being dropped out with white opaque. Internet photo: Fair Use
  10. Such as fades, titles, stabilizations, color work and such. Nothing fancy.
  11. People call it whatever they like. Sometimes you get a mix of golden and blue hour as in this photo I shot for my Bikers' Mardi Gras project. Other times it is heavy golden or all blue. Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. (Candid) None of that really matters, as far as what you call it. Shoot early AM and you get nice color. Shoot at sunset and you get nice color. That is all you need to know. My advice...if a certain look is important to you; do some test shoots in the early AM and sunset then you can get an idea of what you will get. But no matter how you slice it...it is a crapshoot as natural lighting is not repeatable. If you desire a certain look and can't get it, then pay for some colorist to doctor it up.
  12. 1952 Christmas commercial from early days of T.V. Jewelite Hairbrush Commercial Christmas 1952 : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Some interesting history from TV's early days... 1949: In January, the number of TV stations had grown to 98 in 58 market areas. 1949: The FCC adopted the Fairness Doctrine, which made broadcasters responsible for seeking out and presenting all sides of an issue when covering controversy. This act was a supplement to the Communications Act of 1934, which required broadcasters to give equal airtime to candidates running in elections. 1951: I Love Lucy, sponsored by Philip Morris, was born. The half-hour sitcom ranked as the number one program in the nation for four of its first six full seasons. 1951: On June 21, CBS broadcasted the first color program. As mentioned above, CBS’s color system only worked with a small number of TVs across America. Only 12 customers across America could see the first color TV broadcast. 12 million other TVs were blank for this program. 1952: Bob Hope takes his comedy from radio to TV as The Bob Hope Show debuts in October, 1952. 1952: By the end of 1952, TVs could be found in 20 million households across America, a rise of 33% from the previous year. U.S. advertisers spent a total of $288 million on television advertising time, an increase of 38.8% from 1951. 1953: RCA releases its color broadcasting system, which worked on 12 million TVs instead of 12. 1954: NBC launches The Tonight Show with comedian Steve Allen. 1955: Gunsmoke, the classic western TV show, began its 20 year run on CBS. 1958: 525 cable TV systems across America serve 450,000 subscribers. In response, CBS takes out a two page advertisement in TV Guide stating that “Free television as we know it cannot survive alongside pay television.” History of the Television | From The 1800s To Current Time (bebusinessed.com)
  13. Here are a few more clips of Riefenstahl's work. Have maybe another 3 - 5 clips to do. Internet Archive Search: Leni Riefenstahl Teoli I guess there was some controversy over Riefenstahl's work. Some critics saying it is only propaganda and not documentary. Well, it can be both. It is a propaganda film that has documentary and historical value as well. I never get caught into those debates. Almost any record we have going back in time has historical value. Years ago, on a photo forum, they were debating whether it was good shooting photos of atrocities for fun like the Nazis sometimes did. They discussed something like it depended on the person's motives or if they had a 'good' heart, as to whether they would give their blessings to it. Or in later years like some people do now on the internet broadcasting gore. Well, good heart or motive has nothing to do with it. The material is all part of history, and the historical record does not need approval from anyone nor does the creator of the material need a good heart to make it of historical importance. The motives and heart are all separate issue, unless it is all a lie. But even if a lie, it can still have documentary value for the parts that are true.
  14. Every country pronounces thing differently. I think Japan is Nippon...but not sure. It is hard to know all the facts unless you are a native. And things change over time due to social mores. For instance, the Laplanders, I've read, now take offense to the name. And I've been told Eskimo is an offensive word now. Internet: Both Nippon and Nihon literally mean "the sun's origin", that is, where the sun originates, and are often translated as the Land of the Rising Sun. This nomenclature comes from Imperial correspondence with the Chinese Sui Dynasty and refers to Japan's eastern position relative to China. The origin of the name Japan is not certain, but researchers say it probably came from the Malayan ″Japung″ or the Chinese ″Riben,″ meaning roughly land of the rising sun. Historians say the Japanese called their country Yamato in its early history, and they began using Nippon around the seventh century.
  15. Leni Riefenstahl was quite a gal. Talented in many areas as well as sports. She was a pig part of Hitler's propaganda movie machine. I have a couple of 16mm reels that I believe were part of her films. But I don't know which films they were from. Haven't dug that deep yet, they are still in storage. In this clip from 'Triumph des Willens' aka 'Triumph of the Will' 1935 by Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler arrives by plane to a triumphant greeting from the people of Germany. Hitler Arrives in Nuremberg 1934 Leni Riefenstahl : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive When you look around Nuremberg, think back how 95% of it was destroyed a few years later in WW2. Also notice some of the unique camera angles, the use of the plane shadow and close ups of people's faces that Riefenstahl used. I will cut up some more clips from the film when I get time.
  16. Kodak (Mexico?) Inkjet Paper Deterioration See yellowing edge of paper compared to white paper. The entire sheet of Kodak paper has yellow blotchiness. The edge is the easiest way to see the yellowing in a photo. If you have a laptop or unbalanced monitor, you may not be able to see the yellowing. This was Kodak's cheapest paper at the time. From what I recall, the paper was made in Mexico. Paper shown here is 10 years old, stored under normal household conditions. It started to show yellowing about 3 to 4 years ago. All of the rest of this Kodak paper shows the same yellowing. It is hard to get a good photo or scan of the yellowing, but it is easily detected by looking at it under 5,000k lighting. A couple of other major photo paper makers also suffered from yellowing of their cheapest brand of inkjet paper. I didn't record the maker's names. I didn't purchase this paper to print on. I didn't purchase this paper to do archival testing. All these papers were purchased to use as interleaf while printing artist books with an inkjet printer. Unless interleaf was used while printing, the pages would transfer freshly printed ink to the page stacked on it. This was a big problem when using matte black ink, but not a problem with gloss black ink. RC gloss or RC semi-gloss inkjet paper worked best as interleaf as it did not accept any ink transference on the RC coated verso of the paper. <><><><> Daniel D.

  17. Do people even use Steenbecks anymore? I mean somewhat mainstream use and not the odd filmmaker?
  18. Mark, you should compete with the Cinema Museum. If you find any good paper ephemera to scan in the USA, have it shipped to me and I will scan for you and put up at the I.A. I can also give you hi-res scans. Or if you find things in the U.K., buy them to scan yourself. There is so, so much great stuff in the U.K. to get, but shipping breaks the deal for me. You can open up your own online cinema museum Mark.
  19. White on one side of the reel where the tape has been applied. And nothing on the other side of the reel. Some reels have a huge amount of repair. Looks like the tape picks up lots of hairs and debris over time. Photos - Scans by D.D.Teoli Jr. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Just guessing 250 feet to 300 feet. $22 including shipping within USA via PayPal. write direct if interested or questions: w1000w@aol.com Dan
  22. OP...you gotta test them. If you like the results...you have your answer. No one can answer this but yourself. Assuming you like the color match, there are many other factors and variables involved such as the quality of post work, depth of field and I.Q. Test em all! Soemone that says no problem may have quality post work that you don't have for timing. <><><><> Selection from Press Photographer Archive DDTJRAC
  23. DDTJRAC - VHS / Betamax Archive After seeing Top Gun: Maverick, I went back to the original Top Gun to refresh my memory. The DVD has a great commentary about the 1986 film. Art Scholl, aerial cameramen, died shooting it. Cruise is 5' 7" and Mcgillis is 5'10" (They said she was 6 feet tall in the commentary. Maybe that was in heels.) They had to work to shrink her down and extend Cruise up. He had special cowboy boots to give him a raise.
