eBay is getting very tough to sell on. All the fees they charge and the thieves. Some people use it for short term rentals. I had sold a lens last year and the seller tightened the tripod mount too tight and claimed it was broken upon receipt. Then after it was returned, eBay charged me for the sales commission fees unless I put in a claim myself. Broken 16mm Stag Film DDTJRSGFA

https://www.videomaker.com/article/b01/19326-your-step-by-step-guide-to-assembling-a-computer-from-scratch Here is an interesting article on DIY. Still no luck finding a computer company to build one. I did get one company to finally answer the emails. But they keep sending me quotes for gamers computers with the spaceship lights on it. I guess if the components don't cost that much, you could build a computer at home and if it does not work you could trash it all, buy it again and keep trying until it works. For the $3,000 they want to build a basic work computer, you should be able to build a few test models to learn on at home. But I have no time, I'd rather pay...but only to a point.

I'd prefer the old-time jazz handbills, or from the swing era bands. But that stuff is $$. Punk era bands from the 1980's and 90's are still new enough and not valued too highly to make them prohibitive to collect. And, as I said before, I'm not a collector, I'm an archivist. So, I don't care if they are the physical paper or hi-res digital scans. I got into the punk era handbills as an offshoot from my mimeo revolution / beatnik era work. Handbills from that era are also pricey, so I looked into what was affordable to work with. Anyone ever been to the Cathay De Grande when they were operating in Hollywood? Sounds like a crazy place in its heyday. It would have been nice to have some video / film / photos from that era. I lived a few miles away. But I wasn't into it at the time. Anyone collect punk rock or mimeo revolution ephemera? Or what sort of ephemera are you interested in?

Thanks Tyler. Way above my budget, but putting one on the 'someday' wish list!

So, how much does all that cost?

That is fine, but emails should still be answered one way or another. I may have to go that route you suggest. But I'm not much of a tech person.

Photog William Klein gave some good advice that may help the B+W film look digital wannabes. **(obscenity removed)** the mid-tones!

You can use an open aperture and higher ISO with a ND, if needed, with stills to get a film look. This digital photo has added digital grain. This is digital photo was shot with an open aperture. Some digital has nice looking grain-like film structure. This is a monochrome sensor. (Don't remember if digital grain is added or not?) You can get some nice, colorful and contrasty stuff with digital that may not work as well with film. This is digital, open aperture, monochrome sensor. (Don't remember if digital grain is added or not?) This is an old film shot from the 70's. All-natural grain. Some images, no matter what you do, look plasticky and digital. (Jersey City...$80 a day to park your tent when working in NYC.) Digital photo, monochrome sensor, natural grain, wide open f1.4 and high ISO All photos: D.D.Teoli Jr.

If you need a grainy film look, shoot it on film. Much better than fake grain with digital. Film grain is organic and digital screened grain is not. If you like the softer film look, shoot it on film. Everything has its purpose OP.

eBay Photo: Fair Use Here is a film from England for sale on eBay showing how an exposed film can was marked. Don't know what the markings after 'Rated @ 80' means. 80 is the ASA, maybe the rest is something about a neutral density filter? Artist's tape, white or colored gaffers / spike tape or medical tape is good for marking cans. <><><><> DDTJR Small Gauge Film Archive

I got an old custom computer I bought years ago. Paid about $1200 for it to be built. It is a basic black box computer with a couple of larger cap HDD drives. Look what they got now for custom computers! I don't want all that shit. They want near $4,000 to build a computer now. I have to use a house fan to pump air into my computer when I run video post work on it. It blows out hot air like a blow dryer. I wrote to B&H to suggest they start selling custom computers. Maybe they will do it. I wrote to a number of custom computer companies. Only one replied. They are in the business of building computers, but don't want to answer their email. What do they do all day? What a mess. <><><><> Selection from Radio and Vacuum Tube Archive DDTJRAC

Berlin Gallery Weekend https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/05/20/will-gallery-weekends-replace-art-fairs Gallery weekends have been mushrooming. London is set to unveil the inaugural London Gallery Weekend, boasting, at the time of writing, a whopping 137 galleries, big and small—from White Cube or Hauser & Wirth to Emalin and Sid Motion. Paris, Berlin, Beijing and many other cities also have comparable weekends.Exhibiting at an art fair can be unbelievably pricey, when you add up travel, accommodation, entertaining clients as well as the booth fees, which can easily top $100,000. Compare the costs of doing LGW—from just £300 to £3,000, depending on the size of the gallery.

I'm thinking something along these lines may be of use if you need to target certain areas of color correction in the future. https://www.videomaker.com/how-to/editing/the-art-and-science-of-algorithmic-editing

https://www.videomaker.com/how-to/legal/when-do-you-need-a-model-release-form Whether you’re working on a documentary, hip-hop music video, social media ad or anything in between, remember that if you’re going to be recording people, make sure they sign a model release form. This basic-but-crucial step gives you permission to use footage of that person, control over what you can ultimately do with the final product and peace of mind that you’re protected from unwanted future lawsuits.

Lance, that is an interesting concept. Shooting on film for film festivals. I've only been to mini film festivals. Everything I've ever seen has been digital. Something different for sure. Good luck with your films!

Yes, money is stored energy. Money is a lubricant. It makes things easier most of the time. And filmmaking, as well as film preservation, is a money sucking activity and require lots of lubrication. Can you piecemeal the project together over time with digital? (Although you risk losing people over time.) Film is nice, but you have to be expert in it, as in shooting a lot of it on a continuous basis to be up to speed. (Or you hire people that are up to speed.) Frank Henenlotter was good at piecemeal filmmaking aka guerrilla filmmaking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_filmmaking If you can get any of his early DVD's and watch the special features and commentary, he talks a lot about it. Frank Henenlotter - Wikipedia You could also get going with a proof of concept. Even if you never go anywhere with it as far as drumming up financing, your proof of concept can serve as a mini-record of film. Trailers are important... Years ago I acquired a rare VHS collection of 25 Japanese porn trailers from the uncensored era. They were filmed probably from the 1970's. The collector as well as myself looked for many years for the 25 Japanese films or VHS. Never has any one of them ever surfaced. Maybe the trailers are all that is left for the historical record? Dunno, but with archival work this comes under the auspices of...something is better than nothing. I'd say keep working on doing something in the direction of producing your project - if it is at all possible. And if not...keep buying the lotto tickets!
