Re: [Frameworks] backwind without key
If you have a change tent/bag, you can roll out the material and then hand rewind from the take-up to the feed. Granted, only do this IF you are OCD like myself and can get the loading the exact same way each time and if the frame accuracy of the rewind is not important (enough to care). OTHERWISE, do what we did back in the day for registration tests and BEFORE you start shooting take of the lens, swing out that prism and make a big old X using a sharpie marker on the film plane. NOW: when you reload in the dark, you can advance the film with the lens OFF at a low frame rate (or single pulses) until you "X" appears in the gate. Now all you gotta do is shoot something worth watching ;D GO! BE AWESOME! K.

Re: [Frameworks] Hole punchers for film
Leather hole punches leave a rough edge if it's one of the multi-size wheel ones. Aim for the single units and get a good punch-block for them. A solid hit will give you a clean hole. Following that, look at craft/beading stores for "bead reamers". They are multi-sized diamond embedded tips in order to widen the holes in fugly beads; they are also amazing for cleaning up your edges when trying to get perfect holes in polyester print stock; go a little easier if doing acetate.

Re: [Frameworks] Braun Nizo 481 macro
The R on the top of a Nizo will run the camera forward for 3 seconds; then force the cartridge to backwind for three seconds. There will be an indicator on the side that will change from a letter to a number (I think to a 0; apologies as I do not have one in front of me to confirm). To run the camera forward again, you must press down the R on top of the unit, then depress the trigger and the camera will go forward. This mechanism is the major issue I find here at LIFT with the Nizo's... the film cartridges do not like this, the often jam OR the mechanism fails eventually jamming the camera. IF the camera is only going backwards; something is going wrong inside.. :( Do you know any camera techs? I will ask around to see if anyone has a schematic (and/or) service manual. All the best!

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

Re: [Frameworks] looper question
I would wrap the film before it touches the ground. The pain is finding that you need more slack to get the loop to fit. :( Do you have permutatable arms? (aka: you can change the distance in order to take-up slack?) K.

Re: [Frameworks] looper question
You are on the right track. In my experience you want the platter as level as possible (RFS Type Platter Looper) to maintain balance. Never let the loop pull backwards and this usually results in the film binding at a point in the run (not fun). I've had instances where I have to constantly find the splice and add the slack to the outer part of the loop in order to get the sweet spot. Id suggest keep wrapping and adjust your front and rear feed (if you can) to tweak the tension right when it stops slacking. Best of luck! Karl.

Re: [Frameworks] Frame Discreet 2K
Frame Discreet is a great place to get 2K scans if you are in Toronto or Ontario. Their frame accurate system, quality colour correction and keen eye for detail has made many a fellow filmmaker up here jump for joy with the results. I personally have had detail pulled from what I thought were totally blown out highlights once FD got my print into their machines. This positive edge is also to be said about the general quality of work as I've heard from others about having their faith in film regained as a medium after having FD re-transfer their prints that were inadequately transfered by other companies in the city. I'm often finding myself shooting in lower frame rates such as 8fps and 16fps and their delivery method allows for me to edit (NLE) my content at it's proper frame rate in order for me to have a totally accurate film-output for my release print. That being said, this did not stop Sarah Polly from utilizing their services for super 8 contend for her latest feature documentary "Stories We Tell". As Roger said, they are more than willing to provide samples of their work if you ask. Their website already does have content to peruse. Cheers!

Re: [Frameworks] Looping Super 8
Looping Super 8mm is a tricky one. Main issue is maintaining the installation once it's in play. Making prints of Super 8 is a finicky business especially in colour now that we've lost Ektachrome 100D. When the print degrades, it's either accept the scratches or strike a new print off a monitor (which depending on your set-up will have varying degree of success.) Elmo designed a looper that can handle 400ft of S8, it's a wonderful piece of kit but will only work on Elmo's GS1200 or ST1200 series of projectors. It's worm-geared for perfect balance of tension on the platter. Making a simple loop will get the job done, but is limited to the space in the gallery and will attract a lot more dust. This can be suspended from the ceiling, a transport rig, or even the arms of the projector itself if the loop is small enough. There is also the concern of tension. I've run 16mm all over a room, and with a solid projector the torque will pull the film accordingly, however, i found with super 8 there is a point where there is too much weight in the hanging film for the projector to advance without consequences. For multi-channel loops, you will require more than one projector unless your intension is to just have the films spliced from head to tail. If you wish them to be in sync, you will need to modify each projector with a new motor interlocked with each other unit through a motor control. (*not as much fun as it sounds). I wouldn't worry too much about overheating if you are using Quartz bulbs. The old blue/black top bulbs is a different story (*500w+!). If you have the resources to optically print to 16mm, this format is much easier to deal with regarding loops. Labs can strike you as many prints as you need; projectors are decently available, and there are places that are around that already support this kind of gallery work. Hope this helps! Karl.
