Hello Beautiful Frameworkers!

I have for sale a beautiful JK optical printer with Gossen probe, Super 8 and 
16mm gates, prism, animation motor, and manual controller. I’ve moved with my 
little boy onto a bus and am becoming more minimalist in my approach so I have 
decided to sell it. I also have a 4 plate Steenbeck on wheels.

The JK was sold to me by the East Anglian Film Archive who had by their own 
admission hardly used it, only for an occasional damaged film. I’ve attached 
photos of the JK. It’s a K104. Everything in the sale is in the photos. I will 
just hang on to the lightmeter.

A few things of note:

The glass on the voltmeter is (and always has been) cracked, which prevents the 
needle showing the voltage, I just worked around it but I imagine it can also 
be fixed.

The frame counter needs adjusting as it doesn’t engage quite well.

There is a tiny screw missing to mount the lamp extension to its body. Probably 
very easy to replace I just never needed to but it is unsteady so probably a 
good idea.

The Gossen probe is a little moth eaten on the outside (a bit of the rubber in 
small patches) but I don’t think it affects how it works.

The power source works fine you just need to put something heavy on it to curb 
the noise, I used to use a book!

I will keep the lunasix light meter but will include the probe!

I’m posting because I want to sell to the highest bidder (naturally!) and would 
love to hear offers. It is fully working. I used it pretty minimally, to make 
about 4 films. I do absolutely love it. I would love it if whoever it goes to 
would be ok with me visiting sometime to use it :)))
Also a great chance to connect with like-souled film lovers!

Warmest,

Martha / Cherry Kino

Hey everyone,

Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for confirming that the razor blade icon in Final Cut Pro and Premiere 
most likely relates to video tape editing.  I have since also found in Lennie 
Lipton’s book 'Independent Filmmaking' an image and description of a splicing 
block for 16mm film which was designed to be used with a razor blade.

I still can’t find a clear date anywhere for when splicers were introduced to 
cutting rooms (this information may be in a book about editing in a library i 
now can’t access!). It seems like histories of editing deal with the editors, 
films and techniques rather than the specific tools in the cutting rooms…which 
is what i’m fascinated by.

Regards cutting film with scissors, John Burder's book ’Technique of editing 
16mm film’ states that before splicing film, it should be marked with 
chinagraph pencil and then cut with scissors, which he says are a basic item of 
cutting room equipment. He specified that brass scissors are most suitable 
because they are anti-magnetic and won’t impair the quality of magnetic 
soundtracks. It doesn’t seem like using a cutting film with a razor blade on a 
splicing block and cutting film with brass scissors were common practice 
though? Has anyone experience of either of these?

Hey Robert Withers - regards Peter Kubelka cutting with scissors if you are 
interested see below -

Kubelka explains his artistic formation: “The material itself taught me how to 
make films.” He’s sitting at his wooden kitchen table, tackling the 35mm film 
strips with scissors and glue.
filmcomment.com/article/peter-kubelka-frame-by-frame-antiphon-adebar-arnulf-rainer/
 
[filmcomment.com]

and this https://www.bfi.org.uk/news/materiality-film-peter-kubelka 
[bfi.org.uk]

Austrian-born Peter Kubelka is a filmmaker, architect, musician, curator and 
lecturer whose work explores the understanding of film as a material and 
factual affair. His films are not available digitally and to see them on the 
big screen is a rare opportunity. The experience of seeing his films is 
spellbinding and at the same time descriptive, like seeing a tailor’s work in 
progress: film cut by hand with scissors and then glued together. For him film 
is nearer to sculpture.

All best,

Mary

When I was working with 16mm film in the late ’60s we used two kinds of tape

top of the splice in the middle of the frame. Pennebaker and maybe others 
redesigned Rivas splicers by attaching a small razor cutter that would cut the 
tape on the frame line, making a more-or-less ”invisible” splice.
I think a Guillotine splicer was used in 35mm also.
For a permanent glue splice a ”hot splicer” was used in both 16mm and 35mm, 
which cut a frame with a metal block. You would lose a frame with each splice 
and the splice was visible unless used with black leader in the ”A & B roll” 
contact printing system.
What happened between the 1920s and the 1960s? I’ve seen that picture of

There was also a “guillotine” that cut an an angle for sound tracks. That way 
the splice didn’t “pop” when the track crossed the play head.

You might consider using a  photo enlarger lamp house. With the decline in film

purchased a 4x5 enlarger with a three color lamp house for my last printer for 
$ 60.00.
As a plus you may get a reasonably high quality printing lens included.

That is frickin' brilliant.  I once made a contained loop the right length to

short it was only a few seconds of footage.

Not the safest bet--the material the mic stand's made out of isn't abrasive but 
also its not designed for celluloid running smoothly over it for hours on end.  
You could end up with some scratches.  But if you really want to do the loop

The anamorphic mount on your projector is designed for the Eiki anamorphic

Perhaps you can find a one to one trade for the proper anamorphic.

Dear Frameworks,

I'm working on a project with Canyon Cinema to create a frame enlargement setup 
in-house to create high resolution digital images from 16mm prints (both single 
frames and frame sequences). I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has experience 
or expertise in creating a setup that produced excellent digital images for 
large format printing. Capability to focus and resolve grain in 16mm prints is 
critical, as well as producing files equivalent to 4K pixel dimensions (or 
higher).

As an example I've recently been impressed by the quality of the Peter Hutton 
Film Stills exhibited at Shoshanna Wayne Gallery: 
http://shoshanawayne.com/peter-hutton-film-stills/43inytqgn0w6pule0fc1clu8xltuwg
(if anyone knows who worked on producing these enlargements I'd love to get in 
contact).

I'm aware of methods using consumer flatbed document scanners but have never 
been satisfied with results. I've heard of (but never tried) using special 16mm 
dimension slide duplicator mounts for 35mm slr cameras - I imagine this only 
worked for single frame enlargements, not frame sequences. Buying a 4k films 
scanner definitely isn't in the budget either.

Any suggestions or advice will be much appreciated.

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Super8 digital camera

2017-07-15 Thread George, Sherman
I think it would be a mistake to make that assumption that if Kodak is selling 
a Super 8 cameras they will continue to make the film. The management of Kodak 
is no longer driven driven by the Sensitized Products Division. In my opinion 
Kodak will discontinue any product when it stops being profitable.
To keep Super 8 alive it is far better to buy a well maintained quality camera 
in the $ 500 range and spent the rest of the money on film and processing.

Re: [Frameworks] Pageant AV 12 E6 sound problem

2017-02-24 Thread George, Sherman
I could not locate a diagram for the Pageant amp but most of the projector amps 
of that period powered the exciter lamp with a high frequency oscillator. It 
was difficult to generate a pure DC voltage for the lamp.
The high frequency ac was above what the ear could detect. If you can find a 
tube tester test the tubes or look for one that has no glow when viewed in the 
dark. If it has a transistor amp ignore this advice.
If you can locate a diagram forward it to me and I will see if I can be more 
specific.

Any idea what could be causing the bulb not to come on? There’s a “circuit

Re: [Frameworks] Moviola optical reader conversion

2017-01-08 Thread George, Sherman
Ryder,
The amp used with this reader is the Moviola URS-1
The coaxial connector is the 6 volts for the lamp.
As I remember the sound pickup is a photo tube that requires 70 volts on pin 2 
and 4 of the 4 pin connector.
Not an easy amp to replicate in this day of solid state electronics and very 
pricey on the used market as Jeff said.
If you can find a tech who can replace the phototube with a modern photocell 
the output could be fed to most audio amps and you would need to connect a well 
filtered 6 volt supply to the lamp.
Even when new these amp/readers had a lot of 60 cycle  hum.

Hi there lovely Frameworkers,

A little while ago I got a couple of 16mm Moviola SR0 optical sound readers 
with a new sync block I bought on eBay. I think they are meant to attach to a 
moviola squawk box with two connections: one 4 pin connector, presumably for 
power, and a coaxial connector, presumably for signal. I'm interested in trying 
to convert them to output to a 1/4" jack or something similarly ubiquitous, 
which I suppose will require a separate power supply for the exciter lamp.

If anyone has undertaken a similar project, or has any knowledge about the 
specifics of each of the connectors, I'd be glad to know about it before I 
start tearing into them.

Thanks!

Great to learn about onions as a temporary fix, Pip!

Sounds like the most problematic chemicals are in bleach, fix, and hypoclear.   
If spent chemicals are decanted and taken to a toxic waste site, how much of a 
concern are the trace chemicals and silver in washes?  Many folks seem to think 
the impact on the septic system is not of major concern, which leaves me with a 
concern about drinking water and general environmental health.  Searches online 
bring up opinions running the gamut, but we’ll be drinking water that has these 
untreated chemicals in them.

And do  I have it right that installing a silver recovery system is as simple 
as getting a special magnet that will attract the silver?

Kodak has guidelines that can get you started.
Go

Also there is a paper on various methods of removing silver from spent chemical.
http://imaging.kodakalaris.com/sites/local/files/wysiwyg/RecoveringSilver.pdf
The biggest problem is used bleach in reversal processing . Most bleaches 
contain chromium, a heavy metal, and should be properly disposed of as 
hazardous waste.

Hi All,

I live in rural Massachusetts, and plan to build a darkroom this fall in a home 
studio.  I’m concerned about the impact on health of chemical drain/disposal.  
We have a well and septic system, as do our neighbors.  I’m seeking info about 
best and safest practice for disposing of chemicals, both regarding human water 
consumption, and also the impact on the complete ecological system.

I’ve been told that the best one can do is to rebottle used chemicals and take 
to a toxic waste site, in addition to installing a filtration system to catch 
silver nitrate that drains from washes.  Is that accurate?  What is 
safest/causes least harm?  I’m excited to learn more about “organic developing” 
after getting an intro to this from Ricardo Leite at Film Farm, but am also 
seeking info about chemical processing.

Questions:

[Frameworks] Posted for a friend

2016-06-27 Thread George, Sherman
Please contact directly
I’m looking for a proper Super16mm zoom for the Spa Western we’re shooting 
later this summer. We need something that can allow for relatively wide angles 
and close focus (3’ or better), plus some telefoto (so lets say like 9 - 57), 
and not terribly slow. PL mount (or mountable). My max would be like $4,000 - I 
do have a couple lenses I could trade in.

Best,

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm Double perf clear leader

2016-05-02 Thread George, Sherman
The difference is the distance between the perforations along the length of the 
film. Here is the Kodak specification for 16 mm.

I believe the original question was related to what kind of leader to use when 
coating you own film.

2R-2994—16 mm film perforated two edges with a perforation pitch of 0.2994 in. 
(7.605 mm), short pitch,

ANSI / SMPTE 109-2003

2R-3000—16 mm film perforated two edges with a perforation pitch of 0.3000 in. 
(7.620 mm), long pitch, ANSI / SMPTE 109-2003

The short pitch is camera pitch and the long pitch is printer pitch. Printer 
pitch is longer because when the print stock is wrapped over the camera film on 
a contact printer it has a larger diameter.

Bottom line:
If you are coating leader with emulsion to shoot in a camera use short pitch.
if you are making your own print stock use long pitch.
For more details:

It is a thing you should be concerned about if you ever intend on making a
print.  Use the same clear leader that you'd use for editing camera originals,
not the leader you'd use for editing prints.  That way you get the same pitch
that camera originals normally have.

That said... it is likely not difficult to modify a camera for B-wind instead
of double-perf.  If it's using those 50 foot magazines, there is a way to
load B-wind film into them that mostly works.

Hello frameworks!
I am posting on behalf of an indie cinema in Seattle, that is trying to 
identify the exact model of an animation stand they've had in the back room for 
years.
They are interested in getting to a new good home, but first need a little more 
information on exactly what it is.

Pictures can be found in this Dropbox folder:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5dpzryfh9apsm64/AADZEhc71wj3YR35c0fnEa2ka?dl=0

Dimensions are about 60" wide, 40" deep, 30" high at table and 72" high at the 
arm.

Any pointers are much appreciated!
Thank you,
Tess Martin

You might try to find articles about the Kodak Analyst 16 mm projector. It was

Hi all..

I was wondering if anyone on the list has any literature on (or images of) an 
Oxberry Master Series Animation stand model 5442. I'm currently assembling one 
that was purchased from the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative over the summer. I 
don't have the money to hire a tech from Oxberry. We've got it about halfway 
assembled using some photographs as reference. But, I'm afraid we'll need an 
official manual to proceed. Does anyone have one? Does anyone have detailed 
photographs of the machine assembled?

thanks in advance...

[Frameworks] Fairlight CVI

2013-12-19 Thread George, Sherman
This list seems to have large following among people interested in experimental 
visual media and if you can lead me to the right person or group I would be 
grateful.
I am part of a group refurbishing a Nam June Paik video installation. The heart 
of the installation is a Fairlight Computer Video Instrument. When Nam June 
created the active part of the installation he wanted viewers to be able to 
manipulate an incoming video signal with their hands so the slider and touch 
pad of the CVI was perfect for the installation. Since being installed in 1986 
the original CVI has been repaired many times and a second CVI installed and 
repaired until there seem no life left in the electronics.
My questions to the group are;
Does any one know where we could purchase used CVI's?
Is there a electronic repair person with experience in working on CVI's and 
with a supply of spare parts?
Is there a modern replacement for the CVI that does not rely on a keyboard for 
input and processes analog video?
Please contact me off list if you can supply any leads.
Thanks for your time.
To view the installation please go to:

Re: [Frameworks] 35mm Gate for JFK Optical Printer

2013-11-06 Thread George, Sherman
Send me a photo of the projector head with the gate removed. Place a ruler near 
the two threaded mounting points so I can get and idea of the spacing. Are the 
mounting bolts 10-32?
The gate looks a lot like the Richardson movement use in military photo 
interpretation equipment.

I've looked long and hard on internet, but no luck so far.
Closest I got was 25V, 15W in a slightly different size -  fitted
ok in the moviela but isn't bright enough..

Thanks,

[Frameworks] Black Powder

2013-09-08 Thread George, Sherman
A few years ago a friend injured herself by being careless with black powder. 
She set off a charge and went to set a second charge and the surface was hot 
enough to ignite second charge as it was poured from the can. Big boom, painful 
burns and singed eyebrows. 
Better to  be safe and find an experienced person to do this kind of special 
effects
Good Luck and Be Safe.

Can you find a 16 mm flatbed that works?

I need to digitize a few sound reels of 16mm fullcoat mag stock. Do you know of 
any indie facilities have equipment that can do this (such as a Magnatech mag

a portable digital recorder? I'm based in Chicago, but as it turns out the 
reels in question are in NYC. I have reached out to Millennium in Brooklyn but 
haven't gotten a response. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Frameworks] The $3, 000 open source multi-format 8/16/35 scanner project called Kinograph

Seems like the way to solve the mirror problem is with a Sony NEX camera.

 The jitter issue is less severe than it might have been, since the edges of
 the frame can be located digitally and each frame recentered individually.
 With film that has shrunk at all this becomes important anyway.
 
 But... the issue of wearing out the shutter is a very serious one that I
 had not thought of.
 
 The thing is... there are so many good scanners out there right now.  Most
 of them aren't cheap, but they are cheap enough that purchasing time on one
 of them isn't terribly expensive.  It's hard to beat the Kinetta for print
 scanning these days, I think, and it's not much more money to get a Kinetta
 run than a boatanchor NTSC scanner.
