Re: [Frameworks] how to power a projector mounted on a rotating device

[Bryan Konefsky]

Hey Scott and all - regarding rotating turntables that include rotating AC
- see this link:

http://www.vuemore.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwztG8BRCJgseTvZLctr8BEiQAA_kBD9Fw3HF-6RCdrntuK6afHo7TQApVQy3Bx_eRTy707z0aApsm8P8HAQ

I've purchased several over the years and they are fantastic... I suspect
if you add a rheostat you could also change the rpms of the unit.

best,
bryan konefsky

Re: [Frameworks] how to power a projector mounted on a rotating device

[Karl Reinsalu]

I recall a 35mm installation that used an ac cable with a pre-built slip
ring design. They built the turntable and film looper themselves, but
sourced the cable from a film industry rental house. Might be worth an
inquiry with a production house like William F Whites or similar. Otherwise
possibly an industrial electrical parts supplier? Best of luck!

Re: [Frameworks] how to power a projector mounted on a rotating device

[Ryder White]

Hi Scott,

I've been trying to figure this out too for some time, and as far as I can
tell you need something like this:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13063

Or any other sort of "slip ring" that is rated for sufficient current. The
issue with a turntable is you would probably have to rig your power supply
from the top since the slip ring has to be on the radial axis of the
platform, and underneath the turntable you'd have a bunch of moving parts
and gak. But this is all conjecture since I've never followed through on
it. If anyone out there has executed something like this I would be really
interested to see some pictures.

Best,

Ryder

[Frameworks] how to power a projector mounted on a rotating device

[Scott Stark]

Hi all, does anyone have an idea of how to supply power to a projector
that's set on a rotating device such as a turntable? Is there such a thing
as a rotating power supply?

 

I saw this - the main cylinder wouldn't do it but the part that attaches to
the wall does rotate 360, but I can't quite figure how to make it work.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u64Kn5ENkE0

 

Just wondering if anyone's found a device designed for such.

 

thanks -

[Frameworks] Los Angeles Filmforum presents Where You Thought You Were, tonight in Los Angeles

[Adam Hyman]

I missed getting this to the Flicker list, but tonight in Los Angeles


Sunday, July 24, 2016, 7:30pm
Los Angeles Filmforum presents
Where You Thought You Were
At the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles
CA 90028
All Los Angeles Premieres!
 
Ben Russell in person (Schedule permitting)!
 
Human beings construct their places, the lands and seas and islands that
they traverse in physical existence and in fiction, in memory and fantasy.
This show highlights four superb recent works, made around the world, that
stretch our normal notions of documentary and fiction, while finding ways to
make apparent some of the many ways  that place and landscape are conceived.
Curated by Adam Hyman
 
Tickets: $10 general, $6 students/seniors; free for Filmforum members.
Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at http://bpt.me/2571414
   or at the door.
 
Screening:
The Disappearance of the Aïtus, by Pauline Julier
2014, Tuvalu/Switzerland, HD, 35 min.
This poetic essay about Tuvalu, a microstate in South Pacific, draws an
analogy between the disappearance of the country while the sea levels are
rising and the imaginary¹s erasure of its inhabitants. A metaphorical fable
about modernization of the country unfolds the island during a night visit
and shows an insular environment as heavenly and scary.
 
Into the Great Wide Open, by Michaela Grill
 
2015, Austria/Canada, Digital, 16:00
³Into the Great White Open moves along unstable boundaries and investigates
border crossings. Reliable conceptual territories, like abstract or
figurative, are not permitted trespass in the land- and soundscapes created
by Michaela Grill/Philip Jeck. The ground is unstable, the first shot
already misleading: A slow-gliding camera views an Arctic Ocean horizon,
drifting ice floes shimmer in the dimming twilight, seagulls flit excitedly
across the image ­ virtually the only reliable companions throughout the
course of the entire film. Is it the camera that is moving or drift ice? Is
it melting or is the water freezing? And then, are we seeing ice floes or
clouds? Positive or negative? William Turner or Caspar David
Friedrich?...³Michaela Grill transmits images from a foreign planet, a tire
track in the snow becomes a treacherous scandal and passing birds are man¹s
best friends. In this audio-visual ambience a new habitat is discovered ¬­
something between J.G. Ballard¹s wastelands and H.P. Lovecraft¹s Mountains
of Madness: toward delirium and back again. The duel between abstraction and
objectivity, between here and there, solid and liquid does not take place.²
­ Michael Palm, translated by Eve Heller
 
Atlantis, by Ben Russell
2014, Malta, 16mm film to digital, 23:30
"We Utopians are happy / This will last forever"
Loosely framed by Plato's invocation of the lost continent of Atlantis in
360 BC and its re-re-resurrection via a 1970s science fiction pulp novel,
Atlantis is a documentary portrait of Utopia -- an island that has never /
forever existed beneath our too-mortal feet. Herein is folk song and pagan
rite, religious march and reflected temple, the sea that surrounds us all.
Even though we are slowly sinking, we are happy and content.
"Atlantis interrogates this space of fabulation without ever leaving the
real island behind, finding itself caught between a portrait of place and
the conjuring of a drowned paradise."
‹ Erika Balsom, Artforum 
 
Dog Island, by Shehrezad Maher
2014, Pakistan, digital, 26:32
Dog Island merges the narratives, myths, embellishments, and rumors about
two similar islands in Constantinople and Karachi that were occupied by wild
dogs in the early 20th century. Instead of adopting the fixed narrative of
the traditional documentary, the work adopts a logic more akin to a fever
dream, and seeks to combine two stories about similar islands to reveal a
greater truth about uncertainty and violence.
