As I looked at an 8mm Wolverine scan, it was very fast. The same film done with a Retroscan was exported at 17fps and looked slow. I read 16fps is supposed to be the standard 8mm silent speed. Yet it was very slow at 17fps and had to be sped up 25% in post. And it is not an isolated case. Do you have problems with your scans when the output does not match your idea of what the fps should be? What do you do...eyeball it for speed? Any tricks to settling on the right speed other than eyeballs? <><><><> Weegee Weegee wannabe Selections from Press Photographers Archive DDTJRAC

Here is the same film scanned on these 2 scanners. The Wolverine scanner seems to speed up the scans.

Robert, when you say 2-flash; do you have the base exposure plus 2 other exposures? Are you ending up with 3 exposures of +1, 0 and -1 in the HDR mix? If so, do you have control over the under and overexposure, so you can dial in +1.5 and -1.5 instead of +1+ or -1 if need be or is the 2-flash fixed in exposure?

Beautiful setup! It is kinda hard to follow total cost that was invested in parts in your post. Was the camera $3,000 alone? When you change the camera, did the original software still work? I've tried a light pin gate for 16mm. Worked terrible on warped film. That was my experience anyway. After he made all the mods, how did the scan compare to the Lasergraphics? You had sent in a sample scan comparing the Retroscan to the Lasergraphics a long time ago. Was that Retroscan sample output photo made with this scanner after all the updates? Or was it a stock Retroscan output photo?

https://www.videouniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/RetroScanUniversal.jpg Internet photos: Fair Use I've got their old Universal model with 2K camera. The diffusion LED light has worked fine for me Dan. Is the light on the newer models subpar? With 16mm I use it at 80% light at get a f5.6 scan. I found with slight overscan with 8mm I can get by at f5.6 using 55mm extension tube instead of the 75mm tube I was using. Only with the densest underexposed films do I have to go wide open with the lens. Every once in a while, I found having more light would have helped. But 98% of the time it is fine. That Universal seems to be built like a tank. I see old ones on eBay all the time. Hope mine holds up. If it goes, I will be in trouble!

That is a great lens. Too bad Retroscan didn't use a M39 mount instead of a C mount.

Well, cinematographers are usually an anal bunch, just like large format still photographers. And they have to be. The more exacting they are, the better the product usually is. Unless time is of the essence, and they fail to produce in the time allotted. Such as newsreel or war cinematographers that work on the fly and can't afford to be very anal. And when I say anal...I mean analysis. But sometimes you can get stuck in analysis paralysis. So good to be balanced. I'm still trying to catch up with the forum. I haven't read the rest of the replies. I hope to eventually see some images here illustrating some of the text. All this text means nothing to me without illustrations.

I thought a little sprocket area would help with stabilization. No option for pin register. Just Retroscan for now. Normally I'd do what I tell all you to do...TEST! But this is the computer I have and it is hard to test... Computer Fan To Cool 720 : DDTJRAC : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Anything slightly intensive heats up the computer like a blow dryer. If I don't give it extra air it shuts down. And it takes hours to run one stabilizing test on a small 400-foot 16mm reel. I hope to get a better computer that is more conducive to video work. The Movavi stabilizer has a number of settings, so lots of tests needed.

Didn't know about the June date change. What was the original plan for the date? I found some beautiful magazine spreads of the Queen with all her wardrobe she wore on one trip. I will have to dig out the oversize scanner to scan it. That is always a pain in the ass job. You are lucky you can get all this stuff for cheap shipping in the UK. Very $$ to ship here.

Home - StorageReview.com They have a nice newsletter for what is happening with computer storage.

I don't have any 16mm examples, but is this a good amount of overscan to shoot for stabilizing flat R8mm and 16mm? Would warped film require more overscan?

I just set up the Retroscan for 8mm. I never scanned 8mm with it. I hate 8mm, but I have about 450 R8mm and 120 S8mm to scan. And that number was after I sold off about 400+ R8 / S8 films. They are just too low Q for me. But there is a lot of rare material in the 8mm films that I have, so I will have to make do with the low IQ. I'm using a 50mm Ricoh CTTV C mount lens. Sharpness is acceptable, but it takes a 3-inch (75mm) extension tube to fill the frame for R8mm. The max scanner light output just about covers normally exposed film at f4. As a comparison, the 50mm lens works fine for 16mm scans with a very small extension tube. I can get by with f5.6 most of the time for 16mm. To overscan the R8mm I would use maybe 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inches of tubes. (I didn't test the overscan really, so guessing.) I was thinking maybe a 75mm or 80mm lens would be better for R8mm with less extension tubes needed...but just guessing. What length lens / extension tube combo do you use for 8mm? Thanks!

I'm wondering if some films are too extreme with decay for stabilization.

Where is the sweet spot? When doing post stabilization, can you get away with one setting for overscan and one setting in post or does everthing vary from film to film?

I had written Xena last week for info on their scanners via Robert's recommendation. Their website was impressive, in that it seemed towards being more open with information as opposed to Lasergraphics that is all closed doors. I asked a few, very, very basic questions. Someone finally wrote back days later. (I guess it is their salesman.) So, I will give them credit for some type of timely reply, versus Lasergraphics, that never answered their email even after years of writing them. But, the big problem with Xena scanners is...you must own a smartphone to buy one! I told the salesman I don't do much by phone. I got a cheap $85 a year Tracfone I keep in my car for emergencies. I never have it on. I told him there is no reliable Zoom here as the internet is bad. I'm all email. He couldn't seem to understand that. Numerous emails went back and forth with him refusing to send me any info via email. Here is his final reply after all the email exchanges... To:you Details Dan: You don’t seem to be serious about this. My time is very valuable, and an email chain could go on for days and take hours to write and read with no results. A 20 minute conversation can accomplish far more and determine immediately if Xena is in your interest or not. If you you’re not willing to spend a few hundred dollars on a smart phone, then you would not be willing to spend the money on a Xena system, even though the cost is very competitive with other scanning systems. I wish you the best on your business…..Bub. Regards, Rennie My original email is below and was very easy to answer with just a few lines. In fact, he wrote me probably 10 times the amount of text in emails refusing to send the info as he could have written by answering my original email request. Hello, I have some questions about your scanner. Does your base model scanner have a warped film gate for 16mm film? I would be using it for archival film scanning of 8mm and 16mm. A lot of the film I deal with is shrunken and warped with VS. Do you plan on making a smaller tabletop model scanner? Are there any sample film scans online to view the image quality? Can you send me a PDF of the operating instructions / operating video to view? Best regards, Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Now...if I still had that lady patron that offered to buy my Archive a scanner...do you think I'd buy one from Xena after this treatment? Let me give you another recent example... I was interested in learning about the Phase One 150mp copy stand Camera / Cultural Heritage products. I wrote the company for info and pricing. I told them upfront it is for future use. The emails went back and forth similarly to those with Xena, asking for phone calls. Their last email said they would send the info via email. ...Never got a thing from them and that was months ago. If you have a company and are interested in making money...don't run a shitty company where you can't even do simple business communications like this. <><><><> Woman in alley - Hollywood CA 1973 Selection from Peephole: Peering into the World of 1970's Hollywood and L.A. artist's book. by D.D.Teoli Jr.

Internet Archive Search: Coronation Of Queen Elizabeth II Clips June 2, 1953 Rank If you are looking to practice editing, cutting up DVD's with sound and narration is good. It can be hard blending the sound and the images. Also, good to see how you can do cutting out extra footage to condense a story and still preserve something.

Or are they usually very good filmmakers as well as editors?

All Photos: Internet Archive Years ago, I had written to the Internet Archive about getting help with film scanning. Either helping me buy a scanner or loan me a scanner or ask one of their rich Silicon Valley patrons to buy a scanner to loan me...nothing. They always pester me for $$. This is Brewster Khale - Founder of the Internet Archive... After the Internet Archive banned me, I wrote him an 8-page letter stating my case to be reinstated...NO reply. They deleted somewhere about 80K to 120K uploads of mine. Eventually I got reinstated, but only by an odd fluke. Otherwise, I'd still be banned. Some girls really twist in contortions...huh. When you are older and sitting in front of the computer all day...don't do it. You will pay the price. Ergonomics is very important when you are old and not made of rubber any longer. This is their book scanner they invented. Pretty impressive! The glass goes up and down to flatten the book. Their photography is just so-so at the Internet Archive. Some of it is better than others. Here is their headquarters. They did better with this photo...at least with perspective. Shadow detail is gone. Here is their oversize flatbed scanner. When I use mine (a slightly smaller one) I have to clean off the table to use it. I'm short on space. I can scan up to 11 x 17 inches roughly. And have a copy stand with vacuum easel for up to 24 x 28 inches. Same thing, I have to break it all down to do something else. It would be nice to have dedicated workstations that don't need to be stowed after use. This is their servers. I don't know what that is all about. Just know it is their brain. Digitizing stuff!

I got a copy of the DVD A Queen is Crowned. (Photo above - DDTJRAC) The DVD is from a dye transfer Technicolor print. Pretty spectacular event. With all the gold they laid upon her, she was so heavy they needed 2 assistants to steady her...or that was what I gathered from watching the film. I will break the DVD down and make a little sampler of it for the Internet Archive. It is always tough trying to figure out how much of someone else's material to use. They got the whole thing on YT, so that says something. But what others do, may not apply to me, so I am still cautious with sampling too much copyrighted material. (1625) A Queen is Crowned - YouTube With archival work, almost everything you deal with is / was someone else's copyrighted material, so it is always a battle of the greater good vs. the greater right.

You never know how these things are planned. Nice update with the photo.

I've had trouble with Gmail and AOL trying to register on forums. Some forums say it upfront about these two.

Amazon.com: ProTapes Artist Tape Flatback Printable Paper Board or Console Tape, 60 yds Length x 1" Width, White (Pack of 1) PRO Tapes make the best artist tape I've used, and I've tried quite a few brands. It works great for film handling marking camera gear, boxes or plastic boxes and jars. You can tape film down or mark reels and cans. Peels off clean. I've also used it as a gaffer's tape, albeit a less durable, but still good enough option, if you need it in a pinch. Blue painter's tape is crap compared to this. Drafting tape is half-ass. Really drafting tape is many times just a thinner variety of masking tape, sometimes with less stick...sometimes not. It is a crapshoot if it will wreck the material. I trashed all my drafting tape. Artist tape comes in all sizes from 1/4 inch to 2 inches...although not all colors are in all sizes. Even so, there is a large number of colors available to allow for color coding. I use this tape for permanent marking as well. It sticks great, but it is always nice to have a clean removal option instead of digging out the acetone or 'Goof Off' and marring plastic surfaces trying to get the sticky off. But as a warning...I've only used this tape for a few years. I have not had it on something for 10 years and tried to remove it. So, this is my experience with it with that caveat. These are the kind of dispenses you use for the tape. You can buy dispensers to hold single or multi-reels of tape for up to 3 rolls. When you put the tape on, aways leave a little tab sticking up on one end that you bend around to stick on the tape. Makes removal very easy. <><><><> Daniel D.

I finished the full post on this subject at my blog. I go on to talk about the sign-in book that many galleries and some museums have at the shows. I also posted a sample sticker and stamps I had used for the sign-in books. One sticker being 'The Birth of Araki.' It may be a little too much in the nsfw area for this forum. So, if interested in stamps and stickers for your brand, name or project, check it out. An easy area of archival preservation to get into is documenting gallery and museum shows – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. (wordpress.com)

You know, art shows are only up for a few weeks or months. Most gallery shows are about 6 weeks then they go poof! Like they never existed. If you go to galleries or museums, shoot some photos and upload to the Internet Archive to preserve something of it. You don't have to make a big deal of it. Ask is photos are allowed, they almost always are, and shoot the show. If you get the display card in the photo you don't have to name the photos. It does not take much time to shoot a show. You are already there, so might as well contribute a bit to the historical record. Start at the entrance and get some shots.

Stifel Fine Art Center: Student Art Show 2022 Photo D.D.Teoli Jr. While it does not take much time to shoot a show...it can take lots of time to post process if it was shot poorly. When you shoot, try to do a half-ass job with exposure and not having things too catawampus. (You like that word? I learned it from an old hillbilly named Jim. He taught me about process cameras, blueprint machines and vacuum frames back in the old days, when I was a kid starting out in the graphic arts field in the early 70's.)

Just do the best you can. Since no one is paying you for your work, whatever you contribute to the historical record comes under the auspices of 'something is better than nothing.'
