Some of these scanners are much bigger than what you think...

Very creative stuff! https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-lost-strange-dizzying-websites-contemporary-artists (May take some time to load the animated photos.)

Very nice! I was wondering what it would produce. Liked the sand dunes and all the lighting variables. Should have explored more with the sun see-through of her dress. And some nudes. The ending was kinda abrupt on the 2nd film. Maybe that was intended?

Fascinating stuff! https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-forgotten-women-hand-painted-first-color-films

OP, just do what you like, what looks good to you. Too hard trying to second guess things.

The software I have offers 3 video codec H264, H265 and MPEG-4. Is there a better one to use for making files lower size but still look good? I'm using them on scanned 16mm film or old 16mm films taken off of a DVD. Thanks

Books seem to not have died as digital readers had predicted. Site has some nice historical photos from the Fair. https://laabf2019.printedmatterartbookfairs.org/

An interesting article for screenwriters. Goes into detail on 'outlines.' In 2019 gotta have a new name for Gen Z, so they call it beat sheet. "A beat sheet is a tool that writers use to help them plan and sequence their story. Rather than crafting full sentences, you use bullet points to outline the action taking place at pivotal points in your plot. These beats can then be used as a basis to craft your outline." https://medium.com/@FilmDaily/the-beat-sheet-what-it-is-why-you-need-it-114e3378009d

Do you know how it compares to Premier Elements for grading?

I just stumbled across this guy. He has lots of interesting things that may be of help with projects. He asks for donations, but it is optional. Attribution is something he does demand. Tons of sound files and hi-res images. https://soundimage.org/ If you don't see anything, also check https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en https://archive.org/ https://freesound.org/ https://pixabay.com/ https://openclipart.org/ Pixabay is a truly outstanding site and has some really amazing photos…all for free. Every site is different, most material can be used commercially, some are for educational / editorial use only. (I have no financial interest in any of them. But I do donate images and audio files to some of them.)

Phil...shoot a video report on some of the new products / tech for us poor bastards that can't make it.

What do you like about it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_editing_software (You can have multiple choices...one screwdriver does not fit all jobs.)

Yes, digital makes it a lot easier. I've screwed up plenty of times and was able to catch it with digital review. Back in the day the studio photogs used to pay big bucks to shoot Polaroid backs on view cams. So instant review was even valued in the film era. Leica came out with a digital cam that had no screen on the back. Some die hard film shooters liked it so they could be 'surprised' and didn't know what they had until they got home. Personally I like all the help I can get. I like instant review options. If for nothing else, getting the exposure doable.

Yes, film has a nice look. Over time, the less people that shoot film, the less film knowledgeable DP's will be available. If they can ever get digital grain treatments to look organic, like film, then they may have something.

https://www.nabshow.com/ Maybe next year. Can't swing it this year. They got a smaller one in NYC.

After reading the docking station's specs I now see it only supports up to 6tb. But does not explain why the cord does not work. There must be some limit in tb that you can use externally.

I got some 10tb Iron Wolf internal HDD's but they wont run with my computer with an external setup. For some reason they don't show up when plugged in. I get a beep, the HD's whirl, but never show up on the screen. I tried 2 different hookups for external HDDs. I wonder if there is a limit in tb drive size the computer will run. I have some HP slims desktop computers with Win 10 with 8RAM and 1 TB HDD. I also tried the Iron Wolf 10tb drives on a HP laptop with 16 RAM and no go. Drives do not show up. Tried 2 10tb drives and 2 different hookups. The hookups both work with a 2tb Barracuda drive and works with a DVD drive, but not the 10's. Any ideas? Thanks

That would be a good experiment. Shoot a short 10 minute movie in digital and in film. Extrapolate the costs out and see what is the bottom line. With still photography, there is no question that I have to use digital for some work. Infrared is one example. The IR film being produced is ISO 400. I need ISO 2500 IR for my work. As far as cost comparison? It cost $9.29 for 36 exposures of 35mm IR film. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1139495-REG/rollei_agfa_81040123_infrared_400_black_and.html Over the last 5 years I've shot about 13,000 IR photos. 13,000 photos = 361 rolls x $9.29 per roll = $3,354.00. I'd process the film myself. If you don't do wet processing then add on $12 x 361 rolls for $4332. Total cost for 13,000 film shots would be $7686.00 My used 16mp digital IR cam cost $600 - $800 with conversion. Later I added a used Sony 42mp IR cam and conversion. Don't remember the cost but it was under $2000. I could shoot IR film with a used Pentax 35mm and a used 50mm lens. They sell for $40 to $80 on eBay. Then there is the digital benefit of chimping to see a preview of exposure. And the con of having to carry mass amounts of film through airports X-rays if you travel.

I have a large archive of small gauge films and about 55% to 60% of the archive is ancient porn. I had written Vimeo to see if some early French porn films from the 1920s would be OK to upload to Vimeo. nsfw https://archive.org/search.php?query=french porn teoli Here is the letter I received from Vimeo. Sounds like if you shoot the porn yourself it is OK, but if it is public domain porn it is not....but am still not sure. Hi Daniel,Thanks for reaching out to us.Please be sure to carefully read our Guidelines to learn more about what content is allowed on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/help/guidelinesOur most basic rule is that if you created the video, you are OK to upload it. However, just having permission to upload (public domain, or fair use) does not mean you created it.If you are a business or intending to upload commercial content to Vimeo you must purchase a Vimeo PRO, Business, or Premium account.You can learn more about Vimeo PRO at https://vimeo.com/pro, Vimeo Business at https://vimeo.com/business, and Vimeo Premium at https://vimeo.com/live.Let us know if there's anything else you need! Sincerely, Jude

I have not had much experience with SDD. I have had lots of HDD and only had 1 fail out of a few dozen HDD's. I have had 3 SDD's and 2 of the 3 failed. I was dead right out of the box. The other failed in a couple days.

Never heard of a robotic tape library. I looked it up. Fascinating stuff! Can you imagine if a hacker infected a monster tape library with a virus? What a mess it would be. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=+robotic+tape+library ...in the old days the only robotics we had was juke boxes. See 2.20 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=morLkJDxWyg

I thought they would be very slow. I remember back in the day Radio Shack used cassette tapes for early computer storage. That is my only experience with tape. I'd like to get into it for my material, but very $$.

Thanks for the help. I was going to use the RAID hard drives like desktop hard drives. I'd have some duplicate back up drives and exchange them in and out of the RAID enclosure. I'd keep some backup hard drives off site. I had read internal hard drives are more dependable than the desktop external hard drives. So I was looking for a way to use internal hard drives externally. I'm not looking for auto back up. I want to do everything manually.

Do they have tons of hard drives or tape drives?
