  5. These suggestions in this thread smack of big $$ productions to me. I guess it just depends on your budget. Someone may think a $350,000 budget is puny and another thinks they hit the lotto. For the real low budget production ideas see the commentary / special features by some of Frank Henenlotter's films like the first Basket Case or his other films. Putney Swope also has a good commentary about this subject. Both of these were from the film era, but many of the ideas are still applicable to digital. Selection from Daniel D.

  7. I thought it was for the LOC. I figured money was no object with them. It also makes a good blog project to follow if you write or video the progress. Have fun!

  9. Anyone have experience with this? I read it on a film collectors forum. Electronovision? Charles Brubaker » Mon Nov 08, 2021 10:47 pm Electronovision is something I learned about today, a process where a videotape was transferred to film (mostly 35mm) for theatrical distribution, used in the 1960s and 1970s. It was mostly used to record concerts and stage plays. Trying to find information about the exact technical aspects has been a bit difficult (at least from a Google search), other than that the videotape used was higher-resolution than standard at the time. I'm guessing this was simply a higher-end version of the Kinescope process? Anyone ever owned a print of an "Electronovision" production? I know there were a handful of theatrical movies from the time period that was shot on videotape then transferred to film. "Norman Is That You?" is one such example. I don't know if that was specifically Electronovision or not, though.

  11. I'd have my chauffeur driving me to NYC in my lux Class A bus, jump out to take photos of the homeless living in boxes with my infrared flash at 2 in the morning...then back to my 'rig' to eat some caviar with champagne for breakfast just in time for a 2 girl massage! They look too cushy for me. I'd be happy with a small used Class C with A/C. If you live too cushy, it makes it hard to do the dirty work. If you get too cushy you wont want to work on Christmas. And when you get old you need some fiber along with your caviar. Selection from Living in a Cardboard Box NYC 2017 Infrared Flash (Candid)

  13. https://www.google.com/search?q=geoff+boyle&client=tablet-android-samsung-nf-rev1&prmd=nivx&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjD8Oeh-oT0AhXMmmoFHWnSCu0Q_AUoAnoECAIQAg I hope he made an effort to preserve his Archive...online, open content and hi res. Many people donate collections to institutions and that is that. Hardly anybody will ever see it again. I never knew him. So I have no connection with him or knew of his work. But let me say this... 1) A lot of us are getting old. You got archival material that needs to be preserved, you have no one to preserve it with or know who to leave it to? Leave it to me. I will scan it, put it online and find an appropriate institution to place it with. (As a donation.) I have massive experience in this area. The only catch is; I like photos, video / film, audio. I'm not much for text. But I do preserve text as long as the entire Archive is nothing but text. 2) If you are old, or young, got nothing to do with your money and want to invest in underground and above ground film preservation. Leave me enough to buy a cheap Lasergraphics film scanner. I'd be glad to memorialize your name on the work I produce in the Archive. I get millions of eyeballs per year looking at my work and also for memorializing you. But, Google me first, you many not want to be associated with the Archive and wish to remain anonymous. 3) For the rest of you that don't want to leave me your Archive to preserve or help me buy a scanner, that is OK. But think about what I've told you over the years about the importance of archival preservation. This guy seemed to have some time to make arrangements before he died. We are not all that lucky. One day you won't wake up and that will be that. Your stuff may end up being grabbed by pickers to split up on eBay or it may end up in the nearest dumpster. Just no telling unless you have made arrangements for it. But...one thing is for sure... Whatever you got in your head will be gone. Oral history, video / film history, written history...get it down before it is too late. ...one day, you just won't wake up again.
  14. Yes, very different. eBay has a couple. Very pricey. Can you adapt something else for your use?
  15. Yes, some of the old 1955 dye transfers did ok in the dark over 55 years. Some early Agfa (1970's) faded in the dark over decades.
  16. I wouldn't mind be the boob tester for realness. Is there such a job? If fake guns are used, fake guns should only be used. No real guns that have been doctored should be allowed on set if real guns are banned. Unless the real gun has been demilled permanently.
  17. No never herd of Mark. Why does YouTube do better than Hollywood? (Or is Georgia the 'go to' place now?) Well, I don't blame The Rock. He has a great life, he does not want to take chances. As far as the armorer with Baldwin. I didn't study her up that much. But from what I saw she looked like an accident waiting to happen. It seemed with her on the job it was not a question of if, it was only a question of when.
  18. Agfa color print sun test. 1/2 in dark storage 1/2 in sun for 6 months. I am finishing up Edition II of Dye Stability Testing of Color Imaging Media. I always have a hard time with sun tests because I'm in the NE USA and I can only sun test for about 6 months and that is pushing it. It is not like CA with loads of sun. Sometimes the sun does not come out for a few days and it is gloomy. In the winter the sun may not come out for a week! I've got almost everything tested except for a 1 year Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer sun test. It has 6 months of sun and will need another 6 months in 2022. Kodak improved greatly over the years with the color stability of the dyes it used for Dye Transfers. The 1950's were the worst. By 1980's - 1990's they were pretty good. They were not as good as pigment inkjet prints, but there was still a huge difference between the 1950's. And the yellow dye permanence was greatly improved compared to the 1950s and 1970s. 1955 Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer 6 month sun test. 1955 Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer Print Selection from Dye Transfer Printing from the 1950's by Daniel D.

  19. I got a few good artists to work with already, I've been working with them for years, but they are pros and it cost $$. Things are kinda tight after all this inflation. I have lots of good comix ideas, but no art skill. I am looking for an artist that has some art skill, but may not have any ideas as to what to do for art ideas. So this is an exchange relationship and no money is involved - I feed you ideas and you feed me art. So we share the art. I use it non-commercially. All art submitted to me must be decent res. (Prefer 600dpi+ 1mb - 3mb+) You must be able to work without prejudice. In that about 85% of the art is anti-democratic party politics and maybe 15% is anti-republican party politics. It ranges from G - X rated material and is mainly adult oriented. This is comix material, not comics. If you don't know what comix is...look it up. If you get offended easily, this job is not for you. You can work in pen and ink or whatever. But digital seems to be the easiest and fastest for artists to do. Here are a couple of examples from 2 different artists. The top one is by a guy, the bottom one by a gal. They are about the cleanest ones I can post here. You don't have to be this good, but you have to do work that is somewhat decent. And as we work together, your art will probably improve as the artists I have worked with in the past have improved. The work has to be done somewhat timely. Preferably done within 8 to 12 days for a job. You may get 2 - 3 jobs a month to work on. I give you a general script and minimal instruction for the project and you do the rest, so you have lots of freedom. I'm not that nitpicky unless something is really off. Another part of the fun is seeing what artists come up with. If you don't want to do a certain job because it bothers you, that is OK. You have to sign the art with your name or sign them with a pen name or logo. (Probably pen name is best for comix in this day and age.) Write me direct if interested with samples of your portfolio. (It doesn't hurt to run your work by me even if you are not this good. They are pros.) w1000w@aol.com Dan
  20. Things are very competitive Robin. You can't really hold it against them for not wanting to share secrets as you outlined above. To be courteous, I'd offer them a trade for schooling. If they have something you like trade them or you work for them in exchange for training. Some things take years and lots of $$ to refine. To go up to someone and ask...will your breastfeed me it all for free just doesn't seem right. What is in it for them? Are you good friends with them? I mean why?? It is the same thing when people write me to use something in my Archive commercially. I run an open content Archive aka...free use. What is in it for me to give permission of something I have no history of for them to use commercially? Why? What is in it for me except possible problems. I tell them that. I tell them it does not matter to me personally how they use it, but I can't give a commercial release. I had a gal write me about what exposure to use for infrared flash with her infrared film. I didn't even know you could buy infrared film any more. Maybe she was using expired stuff from eBay. In any case, new or expired...how would I know? You got distance, you got power settings, you got different flashes. You gotta test it, there is not set answer. But people want breastfeeding. Now, there is a place for breastfeeding. If you are in a rush or just have a mild interest in a subject and don't want to invest time and $$, then you want to be breastfed. But that only goes so far. Lots of info you get online can be wrong. The Germans have a saying...You grasp by grasping.' Sometimes you just need to get your hands dirty.

  22. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says his production company will stop using real guns after deadly "Rust" shooting - CBS News "We're going to switch over to rubber guns, and we're going to take care of it in post," he added. "We're not going to worry about the dollars; we won't worry about what it costs." Will the post work cost about the same as an armorer and the gun rentals and all? Does the armorer have assistants and gun wranglers? I don't think rubber guns will work, but maybe hi-grade replicas. Replica Guns | ReplicaWeaponry.com
  23. Ad 1988 - selection from Daniel D. Teoli Jr. VHS / Betamax Archive In 1988 Yamaha had come out with a optical disc player that could handle any disc on the market. It played CD's, 8 inch and 12 inch laser discs and the smaller Video Compact Disc. (A low-res version of a DVD.) It wasn't until 1996 / 1997 that the first DVD players would hit the US market. VHS was phased out in 2006 with The History of Violence being the last film released on VHS by a major Hollywood production.
  24. From a film collectors forum... "The largest VHS duplication system I ever saw was also in Southern California and consisted of 1000 VHS duplicators with wire baskets in from of them to catch the ejected cassettes. The system stood about 12 feet high. When the cassettes were ejected, all at the same time, the sound was deafening." Ken Horan Ken said he used to design and build VHS duplicators back in the day.
