[Frameworks] E-6 Imperfections
Hi all, I've been doing a lot of Super 8 developing for people over the last few weeks. The last two film I developed last night had an interesting imperfection and I wondered if anyone on frameworks could shed some light on what's happening. The chemicals were mixed on the 1st and as far as I'm aware the chemicals are viable for up to 2 weeks. I've actually developed film with chemicals 3 weeks old and got fantastic results. However I'm developing other peoples films so I'm not developing past today/tomorrow at the very latest. I've got 4 more films I need to develop tonight and tomorrow night. Last night I developed my 7th and 8th super 8 film in the tank (apparently you can do up to 12 with one liter), but anyway I wondered if this could contribute to the problem. So the problem... Ok now the films have come out great overall but in parts there seems to be this light browny kind of layer that fluidly move across the image, in parts it's centralized and in others it's on the edges. Like I say overall the images are clearly visible and sharp without much grain but there just seems to me this brown mask that intermittently comes and goes. It's present on both films I developed. Any ideas? Could light be getting in the tank somehow? If anyone has come along this effect in the past please let me know.

[Frameworks] Urban Research at Directors Lounge Program II - Wednesday, 15 Feb

The things we see, the social environment we live in and experience is only one part of our life in the city. The other part consists of news, media, stories, gossip, and an increasing number of images, shared and received on public and private channels. Thus, life in the city (let's call it a specific city: Berlin, Hamburg, London, L.A., or Singapor, you name it) does not turn into a storyline, I don't live the story of my life, but it turns into a multifaceted image. As a consequence, we might say, city life in large parts is made of private and public, shared and unshared imaginations.

Re: [Frameworks] more on projector speeds
I've actually noticed that on the Pageant 250S this spring-loaded Kodak Super-40 behaves differently if it is activated with the projector running or not. To explain, on this projector, unlike some, it is proper to pull/push that little speed-change switch while the motor is running. The catch is that when you just do it, lamp on, and let it run, the flicker is more pronounced than if you switch it, turn the machine of, then on again. When I was teaching I used to do an intro rap—based on Frampton—about the qualities of the rectangle, who it was our job to fill it somehow etc and talked about the flicker (projector was throwing a beam at 24fps) and ask students to try to perceive not only the light but also the flicker and the dark moments. At some point I would pull the speed back to 18fps and the students would always gasp. There are certainly filmmakers who insist on certain kinds of projection—Nathaniel Dorsky again is famous for his xenon-balanced prints and insisting on this projector or that, or this venue and that for his films. Some (not I) feel he is being precious. In my experience with exhibition it is best not to throw out too many of these options. David's ad-absurdum scenario is not so far off the mark when we move into the realm of installation works. Bruce Conner, for example, was famous for the outrageous degree of control he brought to the gallery exhibition of his films and film installations. But it paid off—the quality of the display of his works (which I saw at San Francisco's DeYoung museum in 2000) really set a high bar for this sort of display and it's really a shame that more artists—even those with more even more caché than the mighty Conner—do not insist on the sort of control that David (jokingly) describes... Steve Polta Steve Polta --- On Mon, 2/13/12, David Tetzlaff djte...@gmail.com wrote: From: David Tetzlaff djte...@gmail.com Subject: [Frameworks] more on projector speeds To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Date: Monday, February 13, 2012, 9:49 PM That graphic I was sending to Josh Guilford notes an interesting feature of the Pageant 250S, which relates to the whole discussion of how projection affects the 'look' of a film, not just the duration. Almost all projectors have a 3-blade shutter, so at 16fps they flicker 48 time-per-second, at 18 fps they flicker at 54 times-per-second, and at 24fps they flicker at 72 times-per-second. Now, I can definitely see 48 pulse projector flicker, and find it annoying (and I have trouble watching PAL TV, because I can see the 50Hz flicker and it bugs me). But those specs, 50Hz TV and 48 pulse film projection were set because MOST people supposedly cannot perceive flicker at those rates. I think it's safe to say, though, that 24fps/72 pulse flicker, and good old NTSC (59.97 field pulses/sec) look the same to pretty much everyone. Anyway, not ALL projectors have 3 blades. Telecine projectors have five-blade shutters, with narrow openings at that (too dim to use for public projection). And some projectors have 2-blade shutters. The 250S has a Kodak Super-40 shutter, which has spring-loaded movable blades. At the silent speed (18fps) the springs keep the blades in a three blade configuration, yielding 54 pulses per second. At 24fps though, the centrifugal force on the blades overcome the spring tension and the blades move into a two blade configuration, yielding 40 percent more screen illumination' and a 48 pulse flicker. However, depending on whether you change the speed before or after the projector is in forward motion, you can get the other shutter configuration with either sound or silent speed. That is, you can get 18fps in 2 blade mode (yielding 36 pulse flicker) or 24fps in 3 blade mode (yielding 72 pulse flicker). -- So if we really wanted to get anal retentive about how filmmakers intend their work to be shown, we'd have to know not just the frame rate, but the number of shutter blades. And the shutter-angle of however many opening there are... And, really, 2fps one way or the other is one of the smaller variables between different instances of projection. Are the projectors in a booth so their mechanical noise is muffled, or out in the open where the projector noise is audible? How big is the image on screen relative to the audience-screen distance. How bright is the image? What's the color temperature of the lamp? (warning: irony ahead) So if Warhol showed 'Sleep' with a 16mm projector running at 16fps, with a three 60-degree blade shutter, in an open room, 25 feet away from the screen, burning a 1000W incandescent lamp, through a 38mm f.1.8 lens, then that's the way to screen it, damnit. No messing with the flicker, no hiding the projector noise, no Xenon lamps that produce a cooler monochrome, or put out more light (unless you compensate the f-stop of lens to keep the lumens on screen constant, natch), no 25mm or 50mm

Re: [Frameworks] Marcel for ever
Marcel Mazé programmed the Festival de Hyères in the south of France from 1970-1983, and he founded the first Paris filmmakers' cooperative: Le Collectif Jeune Cinéma, based on the same rules as the New York coop as told to him by Jonas Mekas on a visit to Paris in 1970. The group is still active and just celebrated their 40th anniversary. Marcel also created the Festival des Cinémas Différents which is still going strong - the 13th festival took place in December in Paris. The Collectif still does distribution, programming, education and organizes the festival yearly. It is thanks to Marcel's energy and generosity that this group has survived and is still going strong in the spirit of cooperation and democracy among the member filmmakers of Paris who take turns on the board and managing different aspects of the business from year to year. Here is Marcel's blog: http://www.tictalik.com/ He was a great friend and a galvanizing figure in the Paris avant-garde film scene for over 40 years.

Re: [Frameworks] E-6 Imperfections
Hi Erin, Indeed I am using a Lomo developing tank. I did checked the spacing of the film on the reels whilst hanging it to dry and all the film looked perfectly mounted. However I suppose it could have shifted and re-shifted in the tank during the reversal process? I don't know if this will help but the brown bits aren't as visible on the lighter (outdoor images) but are worse on the indoor images. For example one roll of film (100D) was used indoors and it was inevitably very dark anyway. The brown transparent layer seemed much more prominent on these darker images and was much more noticeable. Can that tell me anything? Kevin Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:59:00 -0500 From: eri...@gmail.com To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Subject: Re: [Frameworks] E-6 Imperfections Hi Kevin, Are you using a lomo tank? Your problem sounds like the same one I have had with both E6 and BW reversal in lomo tanks. I think those brown bits are occurring anywhere that the film slips out of alignment and touches an adjacent piece of film for too long. Neither bit of film is then making proper contact with the processing chemicals. Further, this seems to be happening somewhere in the reversal stage. In one case I actually had this layer going on for a while with bits of negative and positive imagery appearing throughout it. I inferred that that the film was making proper chemical contact at various stages of the process, but not all. That was a particularly poorly loaded tank. In the case I have described above, the brown stuff is opaque and seems almost thicker than the rest of the film. On other film stocks it appears as different colours. Strange that you only had this problem on your 7th and 8th rolls, but less strange if you processed them together. Maybe you are encountering something totally different.

Re: [Frameworks] E-6 Imperfections
Hi Pip, I'm always very carful with the first developer and colour developer but yes it could well be possible contamination. I was told however that if the first developer got mixed somehow with the colour developer that you would not get images at all? Is this not the case? What other effects are possible with cross contamination of the first and colour developer as thats quite interesting.

Is there any chance the color developer was contaminated by the first developer? This can ruin the process. The best remedy would be to mix all fresh chemistry. -Pip At 17:17 + 14/02/12, Kevin Timmins wrote: So the problem...

The group is still active and just celebrated their 40th anniversary. Marcel also created the Festival des Cinémas Différents which is still going strong - the 13th festival took place in December in Paris. The Collectif still does distribution, programming, education and organizes the festival yearly. It is thanks to Marcel's energy and generosity that this group has survived and is still going strong in the spirit of cooperation and democracy among the member filmmakers of Paris who take turns on the board and managing different aspects of the business from year to year.

Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
Hi Doug, They do make paint for projection but it's pretty expensive ($179 per gallon on the low end and nearly $300 a gallon on the high end). Screen Goo (which sells kits) and Paint on Screen are two companies that make projector screen paint, I've no direct experience with either product (which ranges in color from white, grey, and silver) but you should be able to get test swatches from either company.

As Tessa pointed out, Screen Goo is the official stuff. But, it's expensive. I agree; flat, white ceiling paint works well. I've had really nice results using flat black paint as masking.
