ProductionHUB | Find Film and Video Professionals How well does Production Hub work and what type of competition like that is out there?

I just bought an interesting VHS today. I had bought it previously for $1.50, but it was a mess. Tons of dropouts. So I sucked it up and bought a sealed version for $20. Someone on eBay had a lock on the few remaining 1996 VHS tapes of 'How to have Cybersex on the Internet.' Really weird seeing all that old computer gear, dial up etc. Box is sealed, so keeping my fingers crossed it is playable. They got a copy of it on the I.A., but it is 6.6GB. It is too big for me, I can't watch it, nor download it. The computer refuses to deal with it in any way, shape or fashion. VHS tapes are pretty worthless. But if there is a title that is rare and no one has it, the tape may or for a $100 or more.

I had read on another forum Stallone is selling his house for $110 million. Someone said the taxes on it are $1.1 million a year. Rocky has come a long way since his start in porn films. (700) ITALIAN STALLION - (1970) Trailer - YouTube I had heard about a film his brother did. I'd like to see that one. All about life in the shadow of Rocky. Stallone: Frank, That Is (2021) - IMDb

OK, I gave you guys and gals a couple months on this question. Any feedback??

OP...if reg 16 is your budget...then that is it. I want a Lasergraphics scanner but the Retroscan is my budget...so I make due. Either rent or buy. And if you can't afford to buy what you want, then go digital. You don't want to be stuck with putting gear above art. Whether it be film or cameras. Good luck!

Yep, me too. I did a little work documenting the 70s, but could have done 1000% more.

A clip from the 1974 film 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore' Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore Clip : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Showcases excellent acting by Harvey Keitel and Ellen Burstyn. In the movie Keitel is dating Burstyn while he is married. Keitel's wife confronts Burstyn and Keitel breaks in to settle the matter. Only fail for me was the bolo tie reference by Keitel. The bollo has a scorpion in it and I didn't know until I heard the commentary. Direction by Martin Scorsese, camera work by Kent L. Wakeford. The camera does not get in the way, you forget about it and you are wrapped up in the story.

That looks like an enlarger lens...but not sure. The lenses are the cheapest part of the Retroscan equation. You get them on eBay. cctv lens | eBay

They need to make digital film grain organic like real film. The grain filters apply it all over like a screen. Here is an example I did of digital grain. But most of the time I don't like adding grain that much. Steeplechase : Daniel D. Teoli Jr.. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive The issue with digital blacks and deep shadows is that digital tries to make sense of it and it looks muddy. They should have a setting on digital to just drop out the blacks and stop trying to make sense of it. Or at least allow adjustment to drop the blacks down in varying degrees. Digital is much sharper than film when comparing apples to apples. Digital also needs to be dumbed down in sharpness and it may look more like film. I did extensive film vs digital tests with still cameras. 35mm negative film, flatbed scanned = about 3 or 4 MP with a P&S camera. Sadly Tumblr banned me in 2019 and deleted all 48 of my websites of which the digital vs film test website was among them. On the forums you always find the die-hard film people. The 'never digital' ones that say they will give up shooting if they ever stop making film. I am torn between the two mediums myself. My own shooting is all digital now. Yet I work with film daily with my archival work. Film never fails to excite me. I found a 16mm reel last week, The Initiation, an old 'nudie cutie' from 1924. I hope to get it scanned for you within a few weeks. But I guess I could get just as excited looking through some found hard drive. Only difference is the hard drive probably won't be in good shape if it sat somewhere for 80 years. Here is one shot at high ISO. If you blow it up it has some nice looking grain structure that is native to the sensor. The Lucky Chops - Little Dicky : Daniel D. Teoli Jr : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive But you wont get this look with moving pictures unless you PP each frame or have a computer with AI that can reproduce each frame to the previous one. Lots of PP on this one. I shot wide open at f1.4 No added grain though, just contrast grading.

Hey, you are old school like me. I scour eBay to find used lightbulbs for my projector and Zeiss viewer. Talk to this group or the 8mm forum/s. They deal with lots of projectors. (27) 16mmFilmtalk.com - Index page You have to join the 16mm forum to see it. 8mm Forum - 8mm Forum (film-tech.com) I'd think the film shooters here get their stuff digitized. The few that project probably use a digital projector. (But am guessing.) Good luck!

There is tradeoffs between the two. Use what you like best if can afford it. Some may like film, but they can't afford it.

Why don't you open it up to see? If you use oversize cans for double reels you can out it metal containers of desiccant that can be regenerated. The little paper packs are probably useless. When they were fresh they work, but if left exposed to humid air they don't absorb moisture any more. You need to get some indicator silica gel to see how fast it gets depleted with moisture in your use of it. If you got lots of little paper packs open them up and you can probably regenerate in the oven. But study it up first. I regenerated the real stuff for many years. But the packets may contain who knows what. This give you a good rundown on the type of silica gel Silica Gel Archives - Desiccants - AGM Container Controls, Inc.

Yes, get a hygrometer. With forced air heat in the winter moisture is low. In summer, humid climates moisture is high...generally speaking. Buy bulk white silica gel and a pound of indicator silica gel. It goes from pink to blue when it absorbs moisture. Mix the indicator with the white silica gel. Pour some in used jam jars with no lids and when it changes color regenerate in a hot oven. I used to do it for years when I had lots of guns. But it does not work in rooms unless you got a massive amount. I'm talking using it in gun safes or similar enclosed areas. If you are talking about big areas like a basement, then you need to buy an electric dehumidifier. You run a tube from the unit outside or in a drain. If you can't do that you need to empty it every day or two depending on moisture. Good luck!

Lens is SOLD I still have the boxed 35mm TS lens I will list for sale shortly. I will post price once it is determined.

Great blow by blow series! I like the photo of the stack of film cans. Next time hire a free intern student to shoot more stills of the production. Don't know what the film is about from the demo. But beautiful photography. I like all those slow pans you did. Give a breakdown as to the $$ if you care to. Such as costs for film, processing, scans PP, rentals, etc. Looks like an expensive project with all that film. Did you have to pay the cops to shut down the street for the night shots? "Over-all, I need to do more takes. Even if you think you got it, run another one. Re-measure focus, make sure things are good before rolling." That is hard to do on a budget when shooting film. You need to work the students like hell. Extract all you can from them. You should also get a second camera unit of students to make a video of you making the film. All that needs to be documented.

A guy from New Zealand wrote me about some of my hand-colored photos I had at my website. They are not ones I did, they are archival material. He was involved in a project on coloring photos. Here is a video he sent me. The Colourist on Vimeo A lot of the early colored or tinted photos I have are in the form of RPPC or Japanese albumen prints made for the tourist market of the late 1800's. They are much cruder than top notch hand-colored photos. Internet Archive Search: hand colored teoli Over time they kept improving with the coloring, but still not there yet. Selection from ‘In Communion with God’ – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection (wordpress.com) Kodak marketed Flexichrome in the 50's. The hand-colorists used to produce some beautiful work with their coloring sets. Probably the 1950's was the golden age of the highest end hand-colored photos. Selection from ‘Dreams of Satin’ – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection (wordpress.com) Here are examples of Kodaks Flexichrome dyes. kodak flexichrome color tinting - Google Search I have tons of material on the Flexichrome process, but it is in the storage locker and who knows when it will get scanned. I asked the Internet Archive if they would help me out buying a Epson large format sheet fed scanner for $2,500, but they wouldn't give me a penny. While I do have a large format scanner, it is a 'one page at a time' unit. I've got +/- 75,000 oversize pages that need scanning. I'm a big user of sheet fed scanners, but my little scanner wont go over 8.75 inches wide. I've been working for the Internet Archive as a volunteer for 6 + years. More importantly much of the material I've given them is nowhere to be found otherwise. Well, that is how it goes...you suck it up and move on. Now, I'm no expert on coloring photos. It is just one of 160+ areas of areas I work in. And my interest in hand-colored photos is, as you might say, casual. Even so, with only a casual interest, I still like to explore things in-depth. I guess if I had less interests...I could get more scanning done. From driving a lot through Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota I developed an interest in farm silos. Now I'm off on silos! Oh...if you have some hand-colored photos, keep them out of the light. They can fade over time. Only display copies of them. Dye Fade Test for Hand-Tinted Real Photo Post Card (RPPC) – Daniel D.

Well, still film was previously mentioned here, so I talked about it. Freestyle used to sell odd ball repackaged expired 35mm movie film for still photogs. About $1.50 per hundred feet back in the 70's. They were specialists in repacking surplus expired media. Film seems to be on a one-way $$ trajectory...UP. If anyone has some graphs showing otherwise, lets see em.

GD...this sounds more like a survival forum than cinetogs. The problem with gold is it too $$. An ounce is like $2,000. Can't buy a bottle of water with your oz of gold. A better barter thing nowadays is bullets or 90% silver dimes. I'd say film is pretty dead with still cams. Can't say about movies. For me, it is all film with my archival work. Got close to a million feet now. You guys should find some charts to support your theories of film making a comeback. That is all they talk about on the vintage cam forums.

Hello! Those AKG C451 are beautiful mics, but too much for my limited budget. Many of the field recordings I make are on the fly. I use a small Sony digital recorder with 2 built-in mics. For interviews or a need to use a remote mic, I use an inexpensive camera mount mic. I think it is $39 or so? Here are just a few of the field recordings I've done... Internet Archive Search: sound effects teoli The recordings I do are not for pro use. Sound recording is an art. I'd love to get into it deeper if $$ would cooperate. Best of luck with your efforts Saffron!
