[Frameworks] 16mm Camera In The Fridge
Hey Guys, So I'm looking for a way to keep film in a camera for awhile in an apartment that sometimes gets pretty warm. I'm wondering how bad of an idea it'd be to keep the camera in the fridge. I'm working on a project that mostly involves stills but also some motion, I'd like to able to keep exposed film in my Scoopic possibly over the course of a week or two if not longer. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex McCarron ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Traders? Sellers? Broken Scoopics? Boulex Lenses?
Hey, So I've had a Scoopic 16M with a jacked up lens and a Bolex Rex-5 without lenses for awhile and I think it's about time to solve either problem. Does anyone have: A broken Scoopic with a well cared for lens? OR A need for a Scoopic with a jacked up lens (that still takes great pictures most of the time) and either C-Mount lenses or enough cash to buy some in exchange?

[Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
So, I have a 100' roll of Tri-X 16mm that I want an HD transfer of. It's mostly stills and little burst of video that I intended as sketches and tests for a longer project. Anyone know of lab that's not gonna give me any jive about roll minimums that I can take a subway to? Or any ad hoc solutions? Always, Alex ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
I thought about that and was following the other discussion about this. I'd
really like something that will look good when the stills are uploaded to a
website later.
So I guess I'm looking for the cheapest professional looking transfer in
NYC or a time consuming and cheap way of achieving that quality that is
maybe something like finding the stills and motion parts I want with a
steenbeck and hand scanning the 3600 individual frames myself?
Anything but a garage transfer is what I'm saying.
Technicolor is saying $0.48/ft with a student discount. Anyone think I can
beat that?

Why not have some one with an HD camera film it off of a screen or wall?
I'm sure a small sum or a 6 pack would be sufficient.

[Frameworks] Cleaning a Scoopic
Hey all, I took the pressure plate off my Scoopic today to clean the gate and saw that the piece of glass beyond the shutter (the prism?) is filthy. It's been two years since I had it cleaned and greased. How bad of an idea would it be to try and clean the camera myself? Just as a temporary solution before I can send it in to get serviced again?

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm stills in LA
Recipes for Disaster had a good sounding solution - photo enlarger pointed at a 35mm camera with its lens taken off, use the internal light meter to judge the correct shutter speed. I tried it on my DSLR and it looked pretty good. Allie On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 2:03 PM, Daina Krumins perko...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi!

Re: [Frameworks] MSNBC: Report: 35mm film will be dead by 2015
I would really like you to be right and for there still be a reason for distributors to release new films as prints just to cater to poor, hot countries like India and that it would somehow be more affordable for theaters in those countries to deal with the current distribution system rather than whatever is coming next with digital projectors. I have to admit I don't know that much about theaters in the third world but I'm still skeptical that the poor will keep a more expensive way of distributing films alive.

Re: [Frameworks] Article: The Last film camera
*Please, for the love of god, let's not have another long thread about film's obsolescence. * I would however like to know what this means for the price of second hand cameras. Will forces even out? More people will want to dump them but more people will also feel the panicked need to pick up the remaining working ones or broken ones for parts?

However, I must ask – how many people on Frameworks EVER bought a new Panavision or Aaton camera? Does it really make any difference to us if these cameras are no longer manufactured?
