  1. Could not update, could not get in real gun . Here is real vs replica gun. real gun replica gun This is a non-firing copy of the original. This piece replicates the original in size, weight and appearance, and functions much like the original. However, this replica cannot be made to fire or part interchanged.

Are you guys in England / UK allowed to buy these for movie use?
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Distillation residue from 1 gallon of Richmond, IN tap water. I'm interested in buying 1 gallon of tap water from San Francisco / Seattle / Boston / New Orleans for water testing. I will pay for shipping for a USPS Large Flat Rate box and $20 to you for your trouble. The water can be shipped in (4) 1 Liter plastic bottles. If you don't have the bottles, I will buy you 4 budget priced beverages and you can consume / trash the contents, rinse out well and you ship the water in them. As a bonus for your help you will get a photo snapshot of what is in your tap water, as shown above, and radiation tests for your water. Water has to be raw, not filtered, tap water with no water softening treatments. No other tests are done other than a visual of dissolved solids and radiation tests. All payments via PayPal. Write direct: w1000w@aol.com Dan Here are examples of past water tests. NSFW Distilling water is a quick acid test you can do to find out what residue is in your water. – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. (wordpress.com)
  6. 1988...from the VHS & Betamax Archive
  7. I casually looked through most of your portfolio of videos at Vimeo. I went back to the beginning, the 11 year old one of Warren H. You've improved a lot since then. While I couldn't see them all, your work shows a uniformity of outstanding visual artistry and image quality. You are very talented!
  8. Beautiful! Some of the people just standing there seem to take away from it. The opening scene of the guy was not very interesting. Why didn't you put your name on it? Other than that, love it.
  9. Saw the old Juirassic Park for Halloween. Fantastic special features. They had one menu for still photos. Don't know if they were snapshots from the crew or from the 'hired still photographer' but they were really bad. Terrible exposure. I bring it up cause, from what I can tell, cinematographer's, a lot of time, don't put effort into still work to perfect it anyway near what they do with cine' work. The photos they used on the DVD would be a real embarrassment for any photog to show.
  10. Here is an article about Close and his 'sex' problems. Apparently it was much worse than a time or two. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/chuck-close-legacy-2027910? Here is the thing. You either divorce the personality from the art or you lump it all together to not look at the art objectively. In the real world it takes the whole of the artist's life experience to produce what they produce. I got no problem divorcing the two.
  11. Selection from Eastman Kodak Archive. https://ia601508.us.archive.org/8/items/kodak-ektachrome-ad-1972-d.-d.-teoli-jr.-a.-c./Kodak Ektachrome ad 1972 D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C..jpg
  12. Note: I removed 2 small ads at bottom and 1 at top is desaturated Photo is from magazine ad suggesting the person may be robbed when making a bank deposit after exiting back door in the alley. Dutch Angle does a good job adding tension to the scene. Article on Dutch Angle: https://www.videomaker.com/how-to/shooting/the-dutch-angle-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it/?
  13. OP...don't you do any testing? Some lenses are OK wide open, some are crap. Point is, to test ahead of time so you know the limitations of the lenses.
  14. Back, way back in the days, when people actually answered letters, they used onionskin. (a super thin paper, for making multiple carbon copies of a letter with carbon paper.) You would sandwich 2, 3 or 4 onionskin sheets with carbon paper and bang away on the typewriter. Above is a carbon copy onionskin letter over a color photo to show the translucence of it.
  15. When it comes to archiving, a major obstacle to overcome is personal prejudice and small mindedness on the curator's part. I see it all the time with special collection libraries and museums I deal with. Many times the digital material I've tried to place as a donation with special collection libraries has been refused because I have it or a portion of it online. And what happens down the road? The prejudiced people that run some of these online sites remove it. Now where is it? But besides that, there is no comparison with having material at your fingertips, on disc or or the server when it comes to searching through it as compared to trying to search through it online or trying to download it with slow and spotty internet service that some of us have. In addition, these small minded archives would have the hi-resolution digital material in their collection and not the lower resolution material that is online. And they could provide a backup to the online material as well. But they just don't get it. And since I brought up resolution, keep that in mind with your archival work. I see a lot of things archived that are terrible resolution. Sometimes we have no choice and low resolution is all that we can get. But if you have a choice, archive in decent resolution online. Use resolution that could make a decent facsimile, if one day all that is left for the historical record is your last extant copy. Giant Alsace bow - selection from the Daniel D.

  16. If you want something different, see Basketcase. It is an old comedy horror film done on a $33,000 budget. It is a cult classic with a great commentary on the Blu-ray version.
  17. I used to measure them by the day, but now it is by the hour. This is some SPAM emails from this morning over a 2 hour period. I have 4 email accounts. 2 out of 4 accounts get heavy SPAM, the other 2 get light SPAM. I have a large archive of SPAM emails, robocalls and SPAM faxes at the I.A.. But I've more or less stopped saving these type of SPAMS. I prefer the SPAMS with more of a personal touch and have a smidgeon of creativity. I Have Recorded You Masturbating SPAM Email : DDTJRAC : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive If I archived all the SPAMS I get I would have little time for anything else. I am just sorry I didn't start saving them 15 years ago. It never occurred to me until a few years ago.
  18. Well me neither Amber and I've been collecting VHS / Betamax since the 1980's. Examples of Highest Priced VHS Listings On eBay D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive I did a little survey of the highest prices VHS on eBay and found it there. Although you can obtain it for low prices as well on eBay. So I can't really say what it is worth. In fact I think I had one of these in my collection, but the old collection was lost in a flood in OH in 2001 and I had to rebuild what I could of it after that.
  19. Photo: eBay - Fair Use I had never heard about it until a few days ago. Found out just by chance. Apparently not a mistake, one of the artists was having some fun and stuck a penis in the art. Different backstories as to why.
  20. You mention close up. Are real rounds used to show muzzle flash? Sounds very dangerous fooling with live rounds on a set. I thought movies only used blanks with the little remote explosion devices to show impact.
  21. I've seen many thousands of 16mm reels over the years. Never saw one like this 'GB' reel from England. 16mm GB Film Reel Selection from the Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Can & Reel Archive Post Processing D.D.Teoli Jr. Shipping from England make most items prohibitively expensive to buy. Usually shipping for a 16mm 400 footer is about $35 - $45. I wrote the eBay seller and asked if I could buy a scan or photo of it. Most of the people I approach to sell me a scan or photo refuse. He (The Old Film Company) sent me some photos of the reel for free! Wow, seldom do I get any donations, so was surprised. ....as rare as it is, who knows, tomorrow I may find a hundred of them listed on eBay.
  22. Never thought about unions. I like underground and independent films...all must be non-union me thinks. But I would lean towards unions having some standards and safer generally speaking. I read on another forum this was the armorer. https://twitter.com/i/status/1452003565090783235 Working underground I constantly cut costs as much as I can. Sometimes it is not as safe as it could be. You know the deal...beggars can't be choosers. But I work alone, so if there was a mishap, it won't affect others.
  23. As an all rounder, Harry K. Shigeta was one of my favorite of the old school photogs. He could be depended on for taking a fresh approach to a subject and his work was always top notch technically and outstanding for content and art. Sadly, with the young camera fondlers, Shigeta is all but forgotten nowadays. Here is a piece from the May 1947 issue of Popular Photography showcasing some of Shigeta’s work and technique. <><><><>
  24. Too bad. Hopefully the girl is found unharmed. But in this day and age... Now, relating your story to cine' work the first thing that comes to mind is it would make a good movie. Have father track down the killer/s and torture them to death. or Work in the new trend of 'restorative justice' where the father and mother are forced to meet with the killer/s that are let go and given no prison time in exchange for the killer/s apology. And in exchange for the killer/s apology, the father and mother also have to apologize for being oppressor's. That is our new world in 2021 or at least what is being proposed by some. ...and after they let the killer/s out, have the father track them down to get some real justice. And if you make a movie, give me some credit. I don't need $$, but credit is nice. Anyway, your post sound more apropos to some other forum than here. Check out: Survivalist Forum (survivalistboards.com) Among a long list of others. Since the Summer of Love 2020 in the USA I have given up carrying CCW snub nose 5 shots any longer. 5 shots is next to useless in that day and age. Now I carry (2) 15 shot 9mm Hellcats and a big Glock with drum mag in the vehicle. I use nylon jacked bullets, but you can't get them any longer. We have a ammo crisis in the USA. But nylon (Teflon is better... but outlawed) gives tremendous pentation. I hope it works out for the family. It is heartbreaking.
  25. I think you just gotta try it. And if you really have an interest...don't give up. But from what I gather...it is tough being a writer. There is a writer's forum that may help you. They banned me maybe 5 - 6 years ago. You check it out, if they are still running.

Absolute Write Water Cooler. Absolute Write's Bewares and Background Check forum is invaluable for discussions of questionable agents and publishers. A good series to get from your library, if yours has it, is Season 5 of Twilight Zone. Disc 5 & 6 has interviews of Rod Serling talking about this very subject, the rejection and how he finally succeeded as a writer. One editor got so mad at Serling for sending in proposals he finally wrote him back and told him he should give up any idea of being a writer...he had no talent. I was going to cut out clips to put on the I.A., but I'm so overloaded. I have hundreds of DVD's and more VHS tapes that need clips cut out, so I gave up on it. I was just thinking it may help someone out. But I can't do it all. I have no interest in being a writer. But I did try a mag proposal one time. A friend put together a mechanical, rotating climbing wall. It was quite a job. As I helped him I took lots of photos. I wrote to a climbing mag and asked he they were interested. They said no to the article. I asked if they would give me free year subscription for the article...they said no. That is my experience. Good luck!
