I'm sure other entities had thought of " 3 perf," release prints, wondering why that didn't take off.

While looking through some old papers I was reminded of a patent some aquaintances had received in 1995, for what they called Duo-Sprocket. This was a nested set of two sprockets such that the different diameters of the sprockets would allow for 3 or 4 perf running speeds for the movie projector depending on which sprocket was used (they were easily changed out). The patent obviously never "took off" and I'm wondering if anyone would have an idea why not. I can imagine that perhaps it was realized to be near the end of analogue projection era or that the theaterical exhibition industry (and film makers) was too hidebound, or perhaps an outsider was not to be enriched. I'd be interested in anyone's ideas. https://www.freepatentsonline.com/4900293.html

Saw Sirat (awesome) which is said to be shot on 16mm. While watching thought 35mm. Can't imagine that film having been shot on video.

I just skimmed the pdf now after posting it, and the section on Photo Interpretation stuns me when I think of it in juxtaposition to things like Lego sets nowadays 👊✊🤛

In the continental US at least, a Kei vehicle over 25 years old can be imported, registered and driven. I believe that any vehicle over 25 years old is considered a "classic car," and is exempted from the safety and pollution requirements that a newer vehicle would have to meet. I'm not an expert, this is just my understanding.

Yes

For a deeper and more academic essay on some of the points raised in the video above:

In the film days I could occassionally almost get bored to tears watching a DP light a set, but mostly it was fun to watch. A week or so ago in a thread on this site there was a video posted of a DP interminably bouncing back and forth to the monitor to tweak and re-tweak the lighting of a set-up of two actors walking through a doorway. I'd find that intolerable, but apparently most crew members don't.

A much better description is here:http://bolexh16user.net/SuperTitlingBench.htm

Yes .

I just checked E-Bay and they're called Super Titler, and asking prices are over $300 (though none have sold).

Anyone near Austin Texas want to pick up a free Bolex Titler, I think it's called the Deluxe, comes in a large wood Bolex labeled box? I'm sure almost everything, if not everything, is there,

shot it backwards?
