Re: [Frameworks] If you want Kodak hicon, order it now
Thanks for the tips, Mark. I just spoke with a Kodak rep, who told me they are taking orders for 7363 ONLY until the end of this month (which is the end of this week!)

Kodak rep yesterday, and 7363 16mm hicon is on back order, but the current plan is for Kodak to most likely fill any order as long as it comes in basically NOW. So if you want any of this stuff, call 1-800-621-FILM and place an order while you can. You will likely be told it's on back order, but you should be able to place an order anyway. It's not a 100% guarantee at this point that you'll get the stock, but it's very likely. The same should be the case for 5363 35mm hicon, which I believe is also being discontinued.

[Frameworks] Cameraless Filmmaking emulation in photoshop
Frameworks: A few years ago, photoshop offered a filmstrip function in its video tools. You used to be able to emulate cameraless filmmaking techniques in this mode. I believe Gregg Biermann used this technique in some of his work. You can still work with video frame-by-frame in photoshop. But, it looks like the filmstrip function has disappeared in the last few PS versions. Does anyone know where one might work this way digitally? Does GIMP offer up this functionality? thanks all, Warren ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Cameraless Filmmaking emulation in photoshop
Hi Rajesh, I know PS still ingests video and you're still able to work frame-by-frame. Many folks still use PS for rotoscoping and video cutouts because the aesthetic looks handmade - like Kelly Sears' Voice on the Line http://vimeo.com/8700224. But in CS3, there was a filmstrip function that allowed you to work on a strip of video as if it were a strip of film and the product would kinda resemble a cameraless film without discreet frames like... Len Lye's Color Box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PgNr0IZRDE , Ben Russell's Trypps 1 http://vimeo.com/7480364 , Jodie Mack.s A Joy, http://vimeo.com/8375376Brakhage's Night Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk8Bs2w5pUI, etc. I'm trying to show examples of digital simulacra of the real/organic thing... or a different, digital, material-alienated thing But thanks for the suggestion; that dude's pretty excited about some smart-object video packaging. And yes, those filter packages in PS are examples of digital simulacra that are both material and labor alienating for sure. But, I'm looking specifically for this cameraless, frameless, digital example. thanks again, Warren On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 2:17 PM, Rajesh Barnabas rbarna...@gmail.com wrote: Just making sure you are aware of this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTYxaTV2BkQ Sorry if this is not what you are talking about...

Re: [Frameworks] Duart Vault in the NY Times
Just in case, I checked with DuArt about the Sandy Daley/Mapplethorpe film, and they told us she retrieved it in 1997, so at least it's with her, though who knows what/if she had to pay...

Re: [Frameworks] Duart Vault in the NY Times
Dominic-Angerame -''sounds like imagery from a sci fi story'' Yeah, it was about the time Brazil was released and I did not even liked that movie... Forget to say the son of one of the (bankrupt) partners was the only person present in the whole facility as it was vacated, he was a die hard Punk who wore the standard issue punk look (very dated by 1988) even wearing shades indoors... The guy looked like one of those Blade Runner extras, very tall and pale. At least he was a nice person, but must people who showed up to pick up material freaked out when they saw him. 2014-08-27 14:46 GMT-04:00 Mark Toscano filmobj...@gmail.com: Just in case, I checked with DuArt about the Sandy Daley/Mapplethorpe film, and they told us she retrieved it in 1997, so at least it's with her, though who knows what/if she had to pay...

Hey Lindsay, It's not on the discontinuation list they sent me earlier this month, but a rep offhandedly mentioned it, though that may have been an error.
