  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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 $$ trajectory...UP. If anyone has some graphs showing otherwise, lets see em.
  10. GD...this sounds more like a survival forum than cinetogs. The problem with gold is it too $$. 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. Tri X used to be $7 a roll back in the day. Now... Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 Black and White Negative 1067214 (bhphotovideo.com) 100 feet of 16mm is crazy! Kodak Tri-X Black-and-White Reversal Film #7266 8012270 B&H (bhphotovideo.com) I'm voting that film is a niche market, at least with still photogs. You can hash it out with movie film. Look at this crazy thing...you gota buy 114 rolls minimum! Kodak 2383 VISION Color Print Film Roll (35mm, 6000') 1198043 (bhphotovideo.com)
  11. Back in the day we always froze our still film with no problems. But it was factory packed in sealed foil. The stores would keep it in a fridge... Film Stored In Cooler D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
  12. 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!
  13. Dial Up Modem Handshake Sound Spectrogram : U2UBER : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Don't know what I'd use it for, but looks pretty cool to experiment with.
  14. If you have an interest in the early film days of Ken Burns get a DVD copy of his 1984 film 'Shakers.' It has some good behind the scenes specials of Burns working with 16mm. I got a copy from the library.
  15. You know the kind of project. You kill two proverbial 2 birds with one stone. Sodbusters In Transition D.D.Teoli Jr. : D.D.Teoli Jr. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive I wanted to experiment with scenes transitions. I was going to do the transitions project with escort girl cards the illegal's hand out on the Vegas Strip. But I figured the I.A. may can my ass and think I'm advertising call girls. Then it hit me. I had 1100+ sodbuster photo's sitting for over a year that I could never get anything done with. I was planning to make a film on the sodbusters. But there were a few hundred more to look through and download and I ran out of steam. So boom...'Sodbusters in Transition' was conceived - 106 sodbusters and 105 different examples of scene transitions. I spent about 25 minutes picking out 105 sodbuster images. Then spent about 6 hours PP'ing them. I was short a handful of images after some got dropped, so had to spend a few more hours finding more photos and getting it all in ship shape. This is version #17. Anyway, the whole project was finished in 2-1/2 days including going through a few hundred wax cylinder and 78 recordings. In the end I just used all wax cylinders for the music. Now...getting back to those call girls. Order Women Like Pizza is the world record for how close you can shoot candid photography with a circular fisheye. The text on the photo is worth reading. Click on the photo to enlarge. It gives you the lowdown on the escort girl cards they hand out in Vegas. NSFW...ish Order Women Like Pizza…the backstory – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. (wordpress.com)
  16. I don't know even what that is. But I like my text sharp. I guess I'm just out of touch...an old film photog from the 70's. I will post a short piece I did on scene transitions. Had lots of trouble with text. When you reduce the res some styles look like crap. That was where the previously posted tests in this thread emanated from.
  17. Text Resolution Examples D.D.Teoli Jr. : D.D.Teoli Jr. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive 240P - 4K tests I like shadow text but it doe not hold up when reduced.
  18. You guys with the home built scanners should post some example scans. Whatever scanner I get needs to be sprocketless. Many of my films are in terrible condition. As far as mirrorless cams being used in a home scanner? I guess you would need one with an electronic shutter. If it had a mechanical shutter I'd think it would soon wear out. I talked with one guy from eBay that made a scanner. He would not go into details too much with me, but he said he said to pay $4,000 to get a 4K camera with no lens. Apparently he has all the rest worked out as he has been producing scans right along. But he upgraded to 4K recently for a client.
  19. Borrah Minevitch is another old time great that is all but forgotten. He ran the 'The Harmonica Rascals.' Here is a clip of him in action... Borrah Minevitch And His Harmonica School : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
  20. A year ago the forum predictions were Oprah or Michelle Obama would be President. Last month the forum claimed as facts were the Pope was arrested for running a child porno ring, Trump had committed suicide, Joe Biden had committed suicide, Hunter Biden had committed suicide and Trump had ordered the military to arrest some such ring of conspirators that stole the election. A couple weeks ago the fact was China is invading Taiwan. I've been on forums since 1998. As I said...99% of the predictions are BS. And a lot of the 'facts' turn out to be fake news as well. But once in a while they may pay off. Like in the gambling run on GameStop.
  21. Yes, Deakins talked about doing remote stop pulls for 1917. The focus pulling was remote as well. He would do the stop pull as he circled a subject to keep the exposure constant.
  22. https://blogs.library.duke.edu/bitstreams/2016/06/23/color-bars-test-patterns/ I thought the Indian one was fake!
  23. Does color film even have much silver in it? I'm thinking it is mostly dyes as opposed to BW film.
  24. GD...what is wrong with the world niche? Anything is possible. The 4.7gb inkjet printable M-discs seem to be discontinued. They were the basis of my VHS video archive. Memorex stopped making their branded 4.7GB M-disc as well. One day you wake up and boom...everything has gone to hell. I'm on a ton of forums. About 99% of the predictions end up being wrong. So 'predictions' of cheap film do not excite me.
  25. Do some tests and lets see the difference between all red and mixed. I shot a lot of all red in the RLD in Amsterdam. They were all candid, all pushed and zone focused. Some all red. These were all pushed 2 stops or so and high ISO, shot with a wide open lens and cropped. So they are not representative of what the best would look like. They would have been sharper if I was not shooting in a local where photography was banned and you could get your ass kicked if caught. You have to walk and shoot!
