[Frameworks] Fwd: Support Microscope's screening and event series - only 4 more days.

[Pip Chodorov]

Friends,
I just contributed to Microscope's campaign and I hope you can do the same!
If everyone on FrameWorks were to contribute just $5, they would meet 
their goal.
But there are only four days left so click the link today. 
www.igg.me/at/microscope

Let's see this great new space devoted to experimental film in Bushwick thrive!
Pip Chodorov




Hi Frameworks,

We hope you'll take a moment to review our current crowdfunding 
campaign 
at www.igg.me/at/microscope,
International contributions are welcome and if you live in the US 
they are tax-deductible (we also have many great gifts). Any amount 
is greatly appreciated.

[Frameworks] CALL FOR VIDEO AND FILM: September Synthetic Zero Event

[Mitsu Hadeishi]

SUBMISSION DEADLINE AUGUST 10, 2014

The next Synthetic Zero Event will be in September 2014 at BronxArtSpace, only 
20 minutes from Union Square. We're looking for experimental film and video, 
visual art, performance, music, readings, dance and other work for the show.

The Synthetic Zero events are a series of informal art events focusing on high 
quality experimental and contemporary work in different media. We typically do 
not have a specific theme for each event but instead work with ideas that 
emerge from the interaction between submitted work and curatorial interests. By 
working this way, we hope the events reflect back the dialogue and practice of 
artists involved and create evocative encounters for the audience. In the past, 
a diverse set of curators has chosen work by artists from around the world, 
including Miranda July, Yoshi Sodeoka, Zoe Leonard, Hector Canonge, Benton 
Bainbridge, and many others. Prior event programs can be found here.

To be considered, send the following to eve...@syntheticzero.com:

Link to artist website AND/OR Artist Statement
Still Images
Up to 5 jpegs
If submitting video:
Links to video on Vimeo, YouTube, or downloadable video files 
This event is curated by Mitsu Hadeishi.

Mitsu Hadeishi has been putting on art events in the New York City area since 
2003, including work from artists both local to the city and from around the 
world. These events have featured experimental video, performance, visual art, 
dance, music, poetry, interactive work, and installations. He's collaborated 
with and has provided technology help for a number of artists including Harrell 
Fletcher, Miranda July, Alyse Emdur, Kenneth Mroczek, and Khaela Maricich.

DIRECTIONS:

BronxArtSpace is at 305 E. 140th St., #1A, Bronx NY 10454. Please see our 
calendar for a complete schedule of events.

We're about 20 minutes from Union Square. From Manhattan, 4-5 train to 125th, 
transfer to 6, one stop to 3rd Ave/138th St, it's 2 blocks from there. Note 
there are two exits at 3rd Ave/138th, one at Alexander Ave and one at 3rd Ave. 
Ring 3A or 1B if 1A does not answer.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO FRIENDS! Thanks.

Note: These events are made possible in part with public funds from the Bronx 
Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs 
Greater New York Arts Development Fund Regrants Program. In addition, the 
events are supported by contributions from individual donors, the New York City 
Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Puffin Foundation.___

[Frameworks] HD/SD/DVD

[Beebe, Roger W.]

All,

Since in recent days we’ve been discussing codecs & other topics that’re, 
stricto sensu, not film-related, I hoped I might start a similar thread that’s 
probably relevant to most of us still making work on celluloid.  I’ve been 
submitting work to festivals after a long break, and while most of the 
festivals now allow online submissions (which, as long as they don’t go through 
Withoutabox, is a pretty great time saver), but a few festivals still require 
DVD screeners.  I tried to make a DVD of my HD video (using Encore, since my 
new laptop no longer has DVD Studio Pro, which I’d used in the past), and the 
results were so bad that I’m reluctant to send it out.  Does anyone have advice 
about how best to massage HD content into a not-entirely-terrible shape for 
burning to DVD?  Am I inherently going to end up with worse-than-YouTube video? 
 I really feel like it’d be a waste of an entry fee to send along what I 
produced on the first round, so I’m hoping there’s some solution out there 
that’ll produce much better results.

?

Perhaps use the free MPEG Streamclip to make an SD version, then burn normally.

I've also had decent, if not stellar, results using iDVD and just sweeping my 
HD file onto the disc map.

I've had pretty amazing results burning blu-ray from Encore but not so good
results with DVDs.  Do you have Toast? I've had decent results dropping an
ProRes HD file into toast and burning a no-menu, auto-play DVD...

Re: [Frameworks] HD/SD/DVD

[Charles Chadwick]

What i've been doing, having not learned encore yet, iDVD will take apple 
intermediate codec in addition to DV. For both 1080p and 720p material, i 
export to aic 1280x720 interlaced (lower field first), with uncompressed 48khz 
audio, as a quicktime file. Usually directly out of the final cut pro timeline 
using the quicktime conversion option. Then, if the material is under one hour, 
burn a disc in iDVD using the "best performance" preset. Bp supposedly just 
encodes at the maximum bitrate possible to fill up a single layer dvd-r with an 
hour of video. You can import a progressive aic quicktime into it, but iDVD 
will supposedly throw out an entire field of your video in the interlacing 
process...having the compressor do it supposedly avoids this loss. If your 
material is over one hour, or you want two pass VBR encoding, choose the 
"professional quality" preset. -c

[Frameworks] Serbian / Woodstock home movies

[salise.hug...@gmail.com]

Dear Frameworkers,
I'm hoping one of you can solve a mystery for me. I was given some found 
footage from a Serbian filmmaker who bought it from a gypsy, so its origins are 
unknown. Most of the footage contains decades of home movies of a Serbian 
family, except for this one small section.

http://vimeo.com101359349

I think this footage might be home movies from the Woodstock festival, or maybe 
some other festival around the same time near water. It is completely out of 
context with the rest, and I think it may have been recorded from projection. 
The original footage bought from the gypsy was shot on S8 then later transfered 
to video by projection so there's already distortion. It starts with a strange 
illustration of covered wagons, and later a title that says Jefferson Airplane. 
The oddest thing is in the end there are some large triangle floatation 
devises. If this is from Woodstock I would think these floats would of made it 
into the documentary. So, if anyone can solve this mystery please let me know.

Re: [Frameworks] Serbian / Woodstock home movies

[Chuck Kleinhans]

I don’t believe it was at the Woodstock festival.  That event took place in 
rural area of fields and trees.

This appears to be at a seaside, or possibly a large lake, due to the sand 
dunes present in some shots.  There were many such festivals and gatherings in 
the late 1960s and early 1970s, and naked bodies were common.  And of course 
water also encouraged skinny dipping.  The large unusual shapes look to be 
constructed of a light fabric over a lightweight skeleton so they could be 
easily manipulated as we see in some shots.  I don’t remember anything like 
that in the Woodstock movie, though it’s been many years since I last saw it.

Good hunting in solving this mystery.
