  1. Halloween Hallucinations 1931 D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Here is an interesting 16mm home movie from a Halloween costume party made on the evening of October 31, 1931, called Halloween Hallucinations. It was made 91 years ago today. In 1931 the Great Depression was underway, the Roaring Twenties was over and flappers will soon become a thing of the past. Selection from Flappers artist book by D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. The guy who shot this film, Reg Bergen, was pretty creative. Too bad he didn't spend a little more creativity time on basics like focus, as it is off for a good part of the film. Well, he may have had a fixed focus camera or shot wide open because of low light or maybe he wanted the film to look more dreamlike and soft...dunno. Everyone you see in the film is just a shadow in time and dead now...so, no one to ask. The film was shrunken and warped. Apparently, the mothball treatment and humidor film can couldn't keep the VS away. Humidor Film Can - D.D.Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Reel and Can Archive Or maybe the humidor did work some and it would have been much worse without the fumigation? We just don't know how things would have turned out one way or another. I left all the glue splices in, as was suggested to me in a thread here discussing doctoring archival material. Homemade Humidor Film Can - D.D.Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Reel and Can Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Although humidor cans were meant for adding humidity from water; I was told people would add camphor oil and other things to the humidor to try and preserve the film - hence the stink! Bergen was pretty good with exposure, at least a lot better than he was with focus. Most of the film could be scanned as a 'best light' scan with only a couple of sections needing a 'timed scan' rerun. At the end is a cute End card animation made with a string. I'm thinking he may have pirated it from a commercial film. This film is an example of a museum quality home movie that would possibly be in an Institution's permanent film collection. This film was kinda pricey as films go, selling at auction for about $230. I normally don't buy such $$ films due to being on a low budget. I'm more into $5 - $15 films and try to keep a film's acquisition cost at under $35. But I had got good news about an upcoming 8.7% cost of living raise in Social Security payouts due to the big rise in inflation. And in anticipation for the small windfall, I spent the raise before I even got it for this special film! Can you imagine the excitement that a picker must have experienced finding this film at a yard sale for .50 or $1. I mean, forget the profit they made...I'm talking about the excitement of finding such a gem of a time capsule and seeing it for the first time in 80 or 90 years. The film archivist can get the same excitement as they dive into an unknown historical time capsule like this. There are lots of exceptional 16mm films that come up for sale. But you have to have the $$ to buy them. If a special film does come up for sale and I can't afford it, I write to the seller and ask if they have a scan of the film to sell. But I have yet to acquire any films like that. Either they don't have a scan or they want hundreds of $$ for a scan. One seller, who turned out to be a stock footage company, wanted to sell me scans that were priced by the second! Stock footage companies are always bidding up films on eBay to sell them by the second. Who knows, maybe a stock footage company bid this film up. I've posted here before how some films can sell for as little as .01 on eBay...as long as no one bids on them. Now, I have purchased lots of scans of photos in the past...but no films. The closest thing to films was one seller sold me a standard def DVD of some films someone had scanned. But it only cost about $1 a film. Cine' scans would be an ideal way for me to acquire films...as long as they were decent quality and cheap. I'm not a film collector, I don't actually need the physical film. I'm just interested in the cine' scanner's digital output. Halloween Hallucinations was scanned on a Retroscan Universal 2K scanner by D.D.Teoli Jr..
  2. I would like to create a 3D model of a H16 Bolex in order to create animations that allow camera movements navigating and traversing all the internal and external elements of the Bolex. I'd like to make it perfectly accurate and am therefore searching for the measurements of every single component in addition to material properties so that I can use real-time physics in the animations. I guess the model could also be used by those looking to fix, repair or service these cameras. Does anybody know if this has already been done or could you point me in the direction of resources, schematics and such? Thanks in advance!
  3. Ive been asked to shoot a stop motion shoot. I feel it is pretty straight forward, but would love to have any advice people may have. Also I need to assemble a equipment list so any suggestions on how best to do it would be greatly appreciated. At present Im thinking Canon 5D on a rostrum hooked up to capture one software.
  4. Hello, Here's the shot: beads are thrown or projected on a surface and come to form a word. There's no need to see someone's hand doing the throwing. So the beads could just fall. Part of the solution lies in showing this shot in reverse: we start the shot with the finished word and then, somehow, see the words "jump up" towards the camera. That would suppose that the camera is looking up at the beads as they call towards the lens. That's what I can't figure out: how to make the beads hold in the shape of the word and fall towards the lens at the same time. There's probably no solution to this, at least no easy solution. Another approach would be to shoot this as a stop motion sequence and go from the formed word to an empty canvas, after all the beads have been animated out of the frame. I would be happy to hear people's thoughts on this! Thanks. Alex
  5. I am in my last semester at film school and our final project is going to be an animation. It will be in the style of "Studio Ghibli" features but in a shorter form (4-6 min.). Do any of you know of any studios or freelancers that do this style of animation for hire? We are still figuring out the budget due to not knowing the price of such a piece. I know it will be quite expensive. Any info would be great. Thanks guys!
  6. Hey, I am a Film Studies student and hope to make a stop-motion animation as a side project. I was just wondering what DSLR-type sensor you would recommend for the project (have to be under £600) and what software? I'm hoping for a cheaper version of DragonFrame... Well, actually, camera wise I've been looking at the Canon EOS M3 or the Nikon D3300 (which is an SLR). What do you think about either of these or could you think of an alternative? I really appreciate you reading this and if you answer, thank you very much.
  7. I have a filmmaker friend who recently gave me his old Bolex H16 Reflex absolutely free over the holiday season. He has since graduated to a high-end digital setup, but said that the H16 Reflex properly cared for will give many years of service and can deliver great results for low-budget filmmakers. I'm a student, so low-budget pretty accurately describes my operation. However I'd be willing to invest in a lens that would suit my needs. I do stop-motion animation (seeking a BFA in Animation), and would like to use film for my project. The Bolex came with a pistol grip, a supplemental film magazine, cable release and a Vario Switar 18-86mm f. 25 OE lens. I'm wondering: what kind of lenses / accessories would I need to make the H16 Reflex suitable for stop motion animation? The lens I'm currently looking at is a Kern Switar 10mm f 1.6. Apologies for lack of knowledge, as I am an amateur. Thanks!
  8. I would like to hear your thoughts on what sort of lens is best for photographing something with little to no depth. I'm not considering a multiplane set-up but would be pleased to also hear thoughts on that.
  9. Hey guys, 2 Questions: 1. I'm reviewing a storyboard that a client has sent me and they want a shot of a bird landing safely on electrical wires (telegraph poles). Should I get a VFX team to create an animation? or Is there an easier / cheaper way? 2. They also want a dead animal (sheep or horse) on the ground that has been electrocuted from the sub station. What's the best way to do this? Thanks in advance!! Jordan Watson

  12. Hello guys, Just thought you might like to see my latest music video. It’s not cinematography in a photographic sense; it’s mostly animation. That said, I’m sure lots of the same creative thought processes can be applied to both animation and photography. Let me know what you think. Thanks to Rob Skene who helped me make the video. Some other notes, it was made using Final Cut Pro 7, Blender 3D, After Effects, Photoshop, a Canon 550D,a green screen, and lots of pen and ink. Also it cost 0 money to make. http://www.pjscottentertainment.blogspot.co.uk/#!http://pjscottentertainment.blogspot.com/2012/12/lights-by-feeds-music-video-p-j-scott.html More information about the band can be found on my blog.
