Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material

[Bill Basquin]

Hi Mark.I have used Medium Weight cotton muslin as a rear projection screen and been happy with the results. You may or may not be, depending on your relationship to sharpness.I would recommend lacing the fabric onto a frame so that it is very taught. You could also clip the fabric to a frame with spring clamps/grip clips, but it may be harder to get the material as taught as you might like it to be.You can usually rent metal frames and correspondingly-sized pieces of muslin at grip and electric houses.To some extent, your choice of material may depend on the dimensions you want the surface to be, and whether you can live with a seam or not (a very large cotton drop cloth will have a seam, a smaller one probably won't).-- Bill Basquin-Original Message-

Hey All,I'm looking to explore projecting images on the floor, wall and ceiling of a gallery space in the coming weeks.  I envision some sort of reflective screen like material (inexpensive) that I could lay on the floor or suspend from the ceiling.  I guess I could use a bedsheet!  any other suggestions out there?  I'm thinking of just getting a few dropcloth sized pieces and playing around, but I don't know what material to seek out.  Any suggestions welcome.all best,mark Streetwww.markstreetfilms.com

[Frameworks] contact for 16mm camera package on South island of New Zealand?

[Bill Basquin]

Hello Frameworks.

Does anyone have a contact for a 16mm camera package rental or borrow on the 
South Island of New Zealand? 
Preferably close to Dunedin (or anywhere south of Dunedin on or near the 
eastern coast).

I've done some looking around on the internet, and all I could find in terms of 
16mm cameras was Panavision in the North Island.

Here's what I'd like:
16mm. I'd like the camera and lenses to be in good working order, and I'd 
prefer motorized to hand crank, but it doesn't otherwise need to be fancy. 
Non-sync is okay. I'll be shooting 100 foot daylight loads, so it doesn't need 
to have an external magazine.
When: March 15-30, 2014.

Thank you.

Bryan, that was amazing. If it appeared at one time that the meaning of a film screening were being lost, Experiments in Cinema is correcting the impression. I don't understand how there could be so many people in a cinema theater, night after night, in the middle of the week as well as on Saturday, and for experimental work - new work! No classics of the avant-garde here. On Sunday at noon? For work devoted to "collaborations with the earth"? In Albuquerque? What is going on! It has been a very long time since I waited in anticipation for a screening like I did last week - again and again. It's not the academic careers sustained by such a program, or the educational value of such an experience to people in town: I keep thinking about what it must've been like early on,
 sitting up there in the front row during the screenings of particularly demanding works, at a time when film . . even video . . the whole theatrical experience, really, has seemed an anachronism. Sitting up there, then, after listing the sponsors. And how could such an event draw such sponsorship? I don't understand. I don't need to understand. The work in video from Turkey that Ekrem Serder showed renewed my interest in abstraction. Again and again a film was shown with an optical sound track, an experiment, really. I didn't even see it all. I could afford to be annoyed. I could afford to walk out of a show early. I could afford to be an asshole.Bernie

Re: [Frameworks] Storing E-6 and D-19

[Bill Basquin]

I don't know where you live, but here in San Francisco, the local transfer 
station/Dump has a hazardous materials disposal area and they accept all manner 
of photo chemicals. I know that silver reclamation is part of their program 
there.

The hazardous materials area is open on alternating days, so check the Recology 
website first to ensure that they will be open when you go there.

 I use anything from 1-4 liter kit of tetenal's E-6 developer a month. After
  looking on some forums it appeared that it was ok at dispose of E-6 down t
 he drain. However I was recently on a course in London and the lecturer tol
 d me it was worth finding out for certain what was in the E-6 before dumpin
 g it. So now I've started storing that until I find out. 

I wouldn't worry about quantities that low.  If you're living in a small town
where a couple thousand people share a small waste treatment plant, you might
want to call and see... but that's not really enough to worry about especially
if you're not dumping it all at once.

 Would it be worth while investing in a silver recovery system? I have absol
 utely no idea how much they are or what they even look like. Forgive my ign
 orance.

Probably not worth it with such low volumes, but if you live in an urban
area you can probably get someone to pick the stuff up for you.

Also if you have a local print shop or T-shirt screening shop, they may have
a recovery system and would be willing to pay you for your old hypo and

DCI requires that exhibitors moving to the DCI platform *must* remove 35mmprojection capabilities from their booth, that isin order to be in compliance. It's commercial interests working to advancein short time to the new platform.Makes me think of what happened in the US with public rail transportationin the US (1920-1950). National City Lines buying uptrolley and other rail companies and shutting them down to quickly advancethe transition to the use of diesel buses for public transportation.Business can improve when removing alternatives that are viewed ascompeting with your product. And what a great idea to replace trolleys withstinky, loud and often dangerously driven buses (a bus driver killed fourpedestrians in Portland last year, apparently because the driver did notsee them in the crosswalk).Portland, is now re-building the rail infrastructure it tore out years ago.And at an enormous cost.The upside? It's a good time to pick up Century and Simplex 35mm projectorsfor your small theater.
