[Frameworks] finishing on 35mm vs 16mm vs HD?
hey folks applying for a grant that asks for an exhibition strategy; I'd thought of budgeting to finish on 35mm but they suggested that might limit the exhibition potential of the film ... have a feeling that might apply to 16mm as well & maybe I should budget to finish on HD (sigh) if I want to convince them to cough up what do you think? cheers moira moiratierney.net vimeo.com/moiratierney ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] finishing on 35mm vs 16mm vs HD?
I think if you finish on 35mm it's very easy and relatively inexpensive to get a transfer of your conformed neg or conformed interpositive to HD, but if you finish on HD it's very expensive and relatively low quality to get a filmout to 35mm. Don't forget 2k DCP as an increasingly popular option too, and once your negative is conformed it's not too expensive to get a DCP scan from it. Then you can bump the 2k file down to HD and SD (which you will find you will need sooner or later). The hard part is getting to the conformed neg. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Well what is your exhibition strategy? Festivals? Galleries? YouTube? Touring the country with a hand cranked projector? If your body of work is all film finishes then you could argue for that as part of your artistic practice. Everyone loves a film print but its quite a luxury. Small festivals can't project them, and there is the additional cost of shipping prints. Unless you're famous enough that people show your work sight unseen, you'll need an HD copy for distributing screeners on DVD/Blue Ray or via the internet. Review your past screenings and see what type of formats those places are accepting today. If you have the budget I would get a 16mm finish and scan that to HD. Because of the huge size of 35mm projectors and the fact most are getting scrapped in the HD conversion I think 16mm prints will have a longer practical life because the projectors are small and affordable. At the very least you could project 16mm in your own living room! Or at least that is what I tell myself to justify the 16mm prints collecting dust in my closet.

Re: [Frameworks] finishing on 35mm vs 16mm vs HD?
What format are you shooting? 16? Super-16? Super-8? 35? Video? You can finish digitally -- not HD -- and from there go to either film (typically 35mm) or HD or 2K DCP easily from any format. The trick is, for film, to scan at a resolution greater than HD, especially for small formats. Makes a huge difference. As for the quality of 35mm film outs from HD, note that a large percentage of Hollywood films are now shot digitally, often with HD (as opposed to 4K) resolution. That doesn't mean it's in any way superior to film, but it can be perfectly good to most viewers. The big question is where you will be showing this film -- if it is museums and archives, any film format is ok, but, depressingly, film projection is beginning to disappear, or the equipment is not maintained because of lack of use.

[Frameworks] September Update on the Lawrence Brose Defense Fund
Dear friends and supporters of Lawrence Brose, This brief note will update you on some recent developments and events in raising awareness and funds for Lawrence's defense. The Lawrence Brose Legal Defense Fund website has been revamped and now includes the letters of support that have gone out to the public and are easily read on the website. These letters are perfect for sharing with anyone who wants to learn about Lawrence - his work, his character and the generous support from people who know him personally and professionally. Also recently posted on the website is the list of Notable Supporters. These are people who are well known in the world of art and culture who stand publicly as supporters of Lawrence in the face of these false accusations from the Department of Homeland Security. The Double Negative Collective recently sponsored a fundraising screening of Lawrence's major film De Profundis at Excentris's Cinema Parallele in Montreal, which is an indication of how far news of this case is going, and the scope of support for Lawrence. Toronto also screened De Profundis earlier in the year. Thank you, Canada! De Profundis will be screened in New York at the Harry Hay Centennial Conference that is hosted at the Graduate Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies on September 28. Present for a panel discussion at the screening will be Keith Gemerek, a New York photographer and Lawrence's assistant in the production of De Profundis, Sarah Schulman, co-founder of the New York Mix Festival which screened many of Lawrence's earlier film work, and Judith Levine from the National Center for Reason and Justice, which has set up an Artist Fund for the advocacy of persons falsely accused of sex crimes. In Buffalo, NY, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center will host a screening of De Profundis on October 26th. Please visit their website for additional details at: http://www.hallwalls.org We cannot stress enough how important it is for each of us to reach out to our personal and professional contacts to spread the word that our government is damaging the lives of many people in its role as a protector from terrorism. And in Buffalo it is Artists who seem to be the biggest targets. Steve Kurtz's charges are another outrageous example of over-reach with false and damaging charges. Please remember that financial donations are critical to winning this fight for justice. No amount is too small, but the legal costs are astronomical and your help is greatly appreciated. Everyone's freedom is at stake. Thank you for your continued support and spreading the word. With these letters of support, generous donors helped raise over $18,000. We cannot express our gratitude enough for this outpouring of help. There is a growing momentum of support, but we do need to remind all supporters that we need to raise a significant amount of money to defend Lawrence's innocence and help him reclaim his life. Lawrence's legal defense has depleted his life's savings. Tax deductible donations to Lawrence's defense can be made through the National Center for Reason and Justice. http://ncrj.org/lawrence-brose/ NCRJ works for child-protective laws based on science, fairness, and good sense, and supports people who are falsely accused or convicted of crimes against children. Also, please visit the defense fund website if you wish to donate directly: http://lawrencebroselegaldefensefund.com/. The website continues to update with supportive testimonials and contributions to the art sale to benefit Lawrence's defense. To all who are receiving this email, please let us know if you do not want to receive these updates. For everyone else, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES. We also invite supporters to send us their comments and suggestions for spreading the word and seeking support. We are confident that justice will prevail for Lawrence Brose with your help.
