Re: [Frameworks] 16mm Film Projector
FWIW an Eiki SSL or similar would seems to be the most likely to work without issue even after sitting for many years. Elmos will have disintegrated rubber rollers, Pageants will almost certainly have sound or motor problems, and Bell and Howells will have cracked worm gears. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t remove and clean all rollers and go over the entire film path, but an Eiki that has been sitting is probably ok and won’t need much work. Most likely the focus mechanism will have disintegrated and on older machines the belts can also turn to goo. Still, these machines should be serviced regularly if they’re expected to last. Running a projector with minor mechanical issues can damage your films AND your projector. On Sat, Jun 6, 2020 at 4:27 PM Dominic Angerame wrote: > Seek and you will find.

Re: [Frameworks] EIKI slimline 16mm projector query
A bigger hub does help, but the heavy takeup reel is also taking up better because takeup is designed to increase tension as the reel gets heavier. If there is only adequate tension at the start using a heavy reel, you’ll probably have less than you need by the end of the reel - especially if a print is warped.

Re: [Frameworks] spools, reels and rolls
I once lent a 35mm print to a festival on reels, and it came back on cores with the reels shipped separately because somewhere along the lines there was a miscommunication about the terms bobbins, spools, and reels. I think there was something weird with their spindle size too. An amusing mixup. In 35mm (at least in the Midwest US): Spool = Nobody here says spool unless they're talking about cameras, like a daylight spool. I would consider spool synonymous with reel because I've heard people in england say "spool box" which I would call a "reel bin" (or they could also mean) "magazine" (as on a projector, not a camera). Reels = The thing that holds the film (shipping reel, split reel, house reel), but also the film itself (West Side Story reel 5 of 12). If a reel of a feature film is on a core, it's still a reel, even if it's not a reel. Roll = The only time I would say roll is "camera roll" or "AB rolls" - Now that I think of it a 2000' "unit" of raw stock might be called a roll, but when it is printed and processed to become West Side Story Reel 5 it is suddenly a "reel." A fascinating question! I could think about this all day! Also, I *load* a camera but *thread* a projector.

[Frameworks] 50 Years of Super 16
Hi all, As part of the unofficial 50th anniversary of Super 16, Chicago Film Society is attempting to create a list of all films shot on this great format. While I don't think it will be possible to list all of them, I'd like to get as comprehensive as possible. I'm pasting a list of titles below - if anyone has any to add, let me know and I can share you on our spreadsheet - we're also collecting data on labs, cameras, and filmstocks used. Not just interested in features, but also shorts and music videos, new and old. We're also having a year long Super-16 sidebar as part of our programming. The next film will be *UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES *(Screening on 35mm), preceded by Jodie Mack's “Blanket Statement #2: It’s All or Nothing” - Screening details here <https://www.chicagofilmsociety.org/2020/02/20/uncle-boonmee/>. Also: if anyone has Super 16 stories or information to share, please write to me! Best, Julian List of Titles Shot in Super 16 (work in progress!!)

Re: [Frameworks] Light meter apps
I've been very happy with CineMeter. I calibrate it against a Sekonic analog meter and it's shockingly accurate. Though I would never show up on a set with it, it's very handy for shooting home movies on the fly. There's also less of a learning curve than with an analog meter, which to be honest is probably a bad thing in the long run!

Re: [Frameworks] Titles on film
Agreed that shooting off an LCD monitor works shockingly well (just expect to lose a roll experimenting with exposure, or shoot multiple exposures in one roll). It won't look as good as optically done titles (mainly the contrast will not be nearly as nice) but it gets the job done in a pinch.

Re: [Frameworks] Eiki with looper scratching the film
Looking at those pictures I would guess it's being scratched in the "brain" of the looper (where the film comes out of the center). First step is to take some virgin film and loop it through ONLY the projector so you can determine it is definitely the looper that's scratching it. Are all the rollers on projector and looper turning freely? On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 7:35 AM, Roger D.

Re: [Frameworks] Any ideas for 16mm film can storage that's not just piles around the house?
If you're going to store films vertically, make sure they all have a tight wind or they will warp over time (this is less of a problem if the films are used regularly). Ideally, acetate films would be stored horizontally in archival (Tuscan, Stil Design) cans. Lots of good information on storing films at home here: http://www.filmforever.org/ "metro" wire shelves are great for storing film. Affordable, lightweight, and sturdy, and you can add wheels to the bottom. http://www.uline.com/Grp_263/Wire-Shelving?pricode=WJ931&AdKeyword=metro%20shelves&AdMatchtype=e&gclid=CPS5i9G36cMCFZE0aQodUrYAjA&gclsrc=aw.ds On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 6:54 AM, Scott Dorsey wrote: > There are commercial steel racks from Neumade that are very nice and often > show up cheaply now that movie theatres are abandoning film. > > You could make your own rack with 1" black iron pipe and pipe fittings. > Paint > it with automotive lacquer and it will look nice. > --scott > ___ > FrameWorks mailing list > FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com > https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks > -- Julian Antos Northwest Chicago Film Society www.northwestchicagofilmsociety.org 773 827 8991 ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] HIGH SCHOOL workflow
Hi all, Does anyone have any information on the workflow used for Frederick Wiseman's HIGH SCHOOL? Specifically interested in whether it was shot on negative or reversal, and whether release prints would have been made from an internegative or directly from AB rolls. I projected what I thought was a very good 16mm print of the film for a class screening and one of the students commented that it looked "so much worse" than a Brakhage short (Window Water Baby Moving) we ran on Blu-Ray, so I'm trying to offer a better explanation to the instructor than "oh, it's 16mm." The print I ran was recently struck, a little soft, a little light contrast, but certainly not objectionable, and projected under the best possible circumstances - I don't think it came close to being called a bad print. Since this WAS a recently struck print, I wonder if anyone can comment on what the original prints looked like, or what 35mm blowup prints looked like. Of course, nobody says anything when they're shown 16mm at its best, but there you have it.... Any input welcome!

Re: [Frameworks] looper question
Here's an absurdly terrible picture of the installation I was talking about. Film ran perfectly for several weeks with no roller or tension or anything directly below the projector, then after a few weeks (print was changed once at this point) that "slack" below the projector started to shrink, so we added an additional roller beneath the projector, which worked ok but wore the prints out prematurely because more tension was being put on the film. We were eventually able to minimize that by constantly cleaning and exercising all the rollers and bearings in the looper, but it was still never as good as the first few weeks when the looper was brand new. Humidity seems to play a big part in how well the looper functions (same is true of regular platters) so if you're above, say, 50% RH you may want to throw a dehumidifier in with the projector for good measure. A friend of mine told me RFS has a new looper with a motorized platter which works much better. Even with all these little problems it's pretty impressive that a print can survive over 1000 runs and various twists and turns and still look pretty good.

[Frameworks] Free industrial films
Don't get too excited. Several months ago I bought a pile of mechanical engineering films from a collector, and they've been sitting around collecting dust ever since. They're all in rusty old cans and some (but not all) have developed Vinegar Syndrome (I won't include any that seem severe, most are still totally projectable/fine). Mostly from the 40s/50s with beautiful contrast. Most are quite boring. I'm keeping one or two, but I really don't need this stuff and I can't bear to throw it away. Hence, free. Maybe you can repurpose this material and make art. Maybe you can watch it with your friends. Maybe it can collect dust in YOUR home or archive now. My hope is that someone will take it and do something creative with it. Maybe teach 12 year olds how to use a splicer. But either way: free. There are about 25 reels, 800-1200' each. Shipping is NOT free but should be cheap enough via Media Mail or you pick up in Chicago. I can toss the cans so the box won't weigh too much, if you wish.

MEEK'S CUTOFF was shot and released on 35mm, through a fairly major studio (a personal favorite, and the prints looked great!). There have been several independent and mainstream features shot on 16mm and super 16 in the last couple years but these were all blown up to 35 (via 2K DIs).

Has anyone on here had much experience with Konvas 35mm cameras? Curious to know the pros/cons.
