Re: [Frameworks] painted film finisher

2013-05-27 Thread Tom Whiteside
I don't think you can safely add a layer of finish - ink and markers probably 
won't change much, but craft paint is going to come off (to some degree) so if 
you want to project this (much) you need to make a print.

As I'm sure you are aware, the motion of the film through the projector is 
intermittent, it is vigorous, anything up on top of the surface of the plastic 
is going to come off.

Good luck!

Hello,
I have recently completed two films made using direct application techniques,

that the ink and paint do not continue to rub off with projection, but I'm

Asunto: Re: [Frameworks] Texts on appropriation, collage and ethics/fair use
 

Not nec. film specific, but there's tons of stuff on appropriation, collage, 
copyright and fair use. Much of it is related to audio collage as both an avant 
garde practice and pop culture 'mashups'. The discussions are generally 
applicable to found footage films, though.

An essential text is Craig Baldwin's film Sonic Outlaws.

For the whole question of Fair Use of images, moving or otherwise, you'll also 
want to check the essential materials available on the website of the Center 
for Social Media at American University.

Filmmakers working in collage and appropriation seem not to discuss the issues 
surrounding their work as much as artists in other media do. You might look 
into the websites, publications, videos etc. produced by Negativland RTMark, 
Stay Free magazine, Public Works etc. Also the various writings on 'Neoism'. 

The afore-cited Cutting Across Media should offer a list of contributors 
whose other works are worth looking into, and be a good starting place for a 
bibliography.

(Again, none of this is really film specific, though...)

Re: [Frameworks] painted film finisher

2013-05-27 Thread Melanie Wilmink
Hi Jarrett,
I've used clear nail polish successfully, but it's really just a stopgap to
transfer it, not a permanent solution. If you send the film off for public
screenings without a print it's pretty much guaranteed that the
projectionists will be extremely annoyed at a print that is gunking up
their equipment. It will also be difficult to project it properly as it
might make the film jump around in the gate since it's not perfectly smooth
anymore. If you're just projecting it for yourself, or intending to
stabilize it for a transfer, the nail polish seems to work fine though.

Also if you haven't seen it already, Helen Hill's Recipes for Disaster is
an excellent handmade film resource -
http://www.angoleiro.com/cine_texts/recipes_for_disaster_hill.pdf. I can't
seem to find an official online publication of it, but the official
memorial website with more information on the author is
http://www.helenhill.org.

Cheers,
Melanie Wilmink

Hi,

Yes, I agree with previous comments about adding yet another layer to the
film: don't, at least not as a long lasting projection solution.

If break-down / image degeneration during exhibition is your thing, then
that's another story. But it sounds like you want what you've made to stay
more or less the same.

Not sure how long your films are, as that might affect how easily you can
rephotograph them yourself.

If you have access to an optical printer, and your films are relatively
short, then then that would be the way I'd go. I work with a lot of folks
who optically print any direct animation / manipulation they do on 16mm
right off the bat, so they have a clean, lab-friendly negative / camera
original.

But get lots of isopropyl alcohol, as the projection side of the printer
will need cleaning. I'd look within your filmmaking community to see what
sort of optical printer access you have, and if there is a machine that
other people have used for this sort of slightly messier stuff.

Other list members might have solutions as to labs that deal happily with
this sort of thing. If your movies are long, then you might have to look
into something more specialized. But I would consider doing it yourself if
you have some equipment access. While it's slightly against the camera-less
film ideal, it's a measure that has frequently been made in order to ensure
that a decent print of your work is shown, and that doesn't gum up a
projector.

Davinci Resolve has semi automated dust removal (only works with DPX frames) 
and I think it works in the free version. You draw a circle around the dirt 
particle and Resolve compares a set if previous and upcomming frames to paint 
it out. Works very well, you can potentially use resolve to render out any file 
to DPX frames and use the dust tool.

Re: [Frameworks] De-dusting scanned film footage

2013-05-27 Thread David Tetzlaff
 A circle matte no larger than the size of the dust particle was made, then a 
 piece of the frame just before or after the dust spot--in its exact 
 position--was captured then laid over the offending piece of dust. That's it! 
 Worked like a charm. Perhaps David T can weigh in on his method?

That's what I did. 4 pt. garbage matte with a lot of feather on the edges. Copy 
and paste the filter from one shot to another and then move the corner points 
to cover the dust spot in question, which was faster than starting from scratch 
on each dust spot. Usually one frame off from the dust spot would provide a 
fill, but sometimes I had to go two frames. I also moved the fill frame around 
to find a good match. I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways to do this, 
but this was something I could figure out and execute using the basic 
capabilities of FCP 7. It was very time-consuming and boring. It's hard to find 
the exact frames of the dust spots because things look different in the still 
frames than they do in motion. Sometimes a spot that's really obvious is motion 
is hard to see in the still frame. This is exacerbated if there's any pull-down 
or speed changes.

I did the work for Crooked Beauty because Ken's a friend and I thought enough 
of the film that I wanted to see it look as good as possible. Even though Ken 
paid me something for my time, it's nothing I'd want to do on a regular basis, 
'professionally.' 

But, in the end I think it was worth it aesthetically. Crooked Beauty has that 
Super-8 look, but it's incredibly clean. I showed it to some S8 enthusiasts at 
UFVA a couple years ago and they were pretty much gob-smacked at the quality of 
the image. They'd never seen anything that free of dust marks. But, of course, 
it all depends on what aesthetic suits the purpose and vision of the individual 
film. For some projects, the dust that remains on a typical S8 to HD transfer 
may well suit the concept that led to the choice of S8 in the first place.

Just two layers, and not that many effects. Just multiple iterations of the 
garbage matte on those frames with more than one nasty dust spot. There was a 
lot of rendering involved, but just because there were a lot of frames with 
dust, and I had to render them out to see if the fixes worked properly. I did 
it on an MBP 2.2Ghz quad-core with 4GB RAM. It would have gone faster on a 
desktop with more RAM, but it wasn't that bad on the MBP. 

It's a method pretty much anyone can do, if they're up for taking the time.

I'd like to second the internegative idea. If your work is done, then take it 
to a lab, have a contact internegative struck, and sit in on the timing session 
to ensure that the colors are just the way you want them.

Or, and here is an opportunity for more creative work, if you have access to a 
contact printer, make your own internegative and then print.  Contact printers 
normally print emulsion to emulsion, and continuously, and are (in principle) 
very easy on irregular materials.

Try some clear lacquer spray – if you spray it on and add another couple of 
fine coats when its still wet, the lay-off should be smooth and it will be 
fairly flexible. I've done this in the past and you have to get the lacquer to 
'soak' over/around your mark making while wet without skimming over the 
sprocket holes (and clogging them). You can let this dry – it doesn't take long 
– and then lay on another fine coat. Don't go too thick or the celluloid may 
cause it to crack. You can either use a charcoal fixative (from art supply 
shops) or just use some automotive lacquer (the motorcycle stuff works the 
best).

is going to come off.

Good luck!

Subject: [Frameworks] painted film finisher

Hello,
I have recently completed two films made using direct application techniques, 
such as hand painting with craft paint, india ink, permanent markers and other 
media. I would like to find a way to apply some kind of finish to the film so 
that the ink and paint do not continue to rub off with projection, but I'm 
afraid to use a spray finish for traditional paintings, as they are usually 
quite flammable. Any ideas?
