Re: [Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

2020-02-12 Thread Ruth Hayes
At The Evergreen State College we teach direct animation and cameraless film in 
our foundation program and in some other classes depending on the subject. As 
with others responding, I’ve found it a great way to bring fine arts students 
in to animation and media production. Also, Devon Damonte teaches a summer 
course here, Visual Music on 16mm and 35mm Film that involves all sorts of 
cameraless techniques including making photograms and hand-processing. Students 
appreciate the materiality of working with film and photo processes, especially 
if all they’ve done before is digital. It’s also a way to get them into 
thinking about forms beyond the narrative and single channel presentation.

Re: [Frameworks] Liquidol / Eco Pro...any experience???

2019-07-29 Thread Ruth Hayes
We’re using Eco-Pro (print) developer because it’s what the photo area has to 
offer and we’re working at a really small scale in terms of #s of students and 
staff and faculty resources. Prepping and creating the space for a different 
set of chemicals is out of reach right now. Just arguing that the college 
should not abandon 16mm altogether is a major time-suck these days.

Hi Ben,

At Evergreen, our b/w photo darkroom uses Eco-Pro for developing prints. We use 
this chemistry for processing hi con negative (7363 and 3378). It works well. 
We don’t do reversal (yet) so I can’t speak to that.

Hi Bryan,

Eric Martin’s USA Film, 1976, would be worth seeking out. He shot a frame every 
sixth of a mile from Boston to DC, to Monument Valley, to SF. The soundtrack is 
radio reporting of the Watergate Hearings, as I recall. Eric may still be on 
the faculty at Cal Arts, or reachable through them. Or the film may be in the

Re: [Frameworks] Suzan Pitt

At the recent Society for Animation Studies conference in Lisbon, Sandro Del 
Rosario gave a wonderful remembrance of Suzan, describing how he was assigned 
to her as a mentee at Cal Arts at the beginning of her tenure there, and how 
they shared their experiences as newcomers. People mentioned her works, 
particularly Asparagus, frequently throughout the conference, as touchstones of 
women’s animation, and inspiration to new animators to pursue personal, 
figurative and dream imagery. She certainly was formative for me when I 
encountered her and her works back in the 1970s.

[Frameworks] Media/Film Studies 2019-20 Visiting Faculty at Evergreen

2019-04-21 Thread Ruth Hayes
Hi all, please spread the word, or apply yourselves!

https://evergreen.peopleadmin.com/postings/2276?fbclid=IwAR1c3HNqGBpNVRUtZAKghGTPOofL9qUD2G2iQ0-IrKNLU8cfuCfujdbTCms
 


Media/Film Studies 2019-20 Visiting Faculty
Job Summary 
This is a two-quarter visiting faculty position for fall/winter of the 2019-20 
academic year.

Evergreen is seeking a visiting Media or Film Studies faculty to teach in a 
team with a psychology faculty and a literary studies faculty in an 
interdisciplinary academic program geared for first-year students. In Madness 
and Creativity: The Psychological Link, students will be studying abnormal 
psychology, reading psychology and literary texts, and engaging in creative 
production over two quarters. The visiting faculty will work closely with 
students in the study of film history, film theory, and in media production 
workshops using simple equipment, including cellphones. In collaboration with 
faculty partners, s/he will engage in program planning prior to the start and 
facilitate weekly book seminars with students. 

Teaching experience in a college setting is required. Areas of teaching include 
scriptwriting, acting, shooting, critique, and peer editing of film/video, as 
well as analysis of feature films and documentaries that deal with psychology, 
imagination, and human creative potential.

MFA in Media or Film Studies is required. Experience linking media with other 
disciplines, such as psychology and literature, is highly desirable. Experience 
working across significant differences (race, class, gender, sexual 
orientation, etc.), and working with diverse and underserved students is also 
highly desirable.

Job Expectations
Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected 
by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for 
evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 
students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows 
for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of 
strong learning communities. Faculty are also responsible for advising students 
as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and 
formulate their own areas of concentration. 


Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping 
students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, 
communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come 
from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in 
approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide 
opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment 
where all are welcome and all can learn from each other. 


A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the Collective 
Bargaining Agreement.

Minimum Qualifications  
•   MFA in Film or Media Studies or related field, with skills in 
Film/Video Production
•   Ability to teach topics related to media, film history, film theory, 
and a range of documentary and creative video/media production techniques 
•   College level teaching experience

Preferred Qualifications
•   Demonstrated ability to help students produce collaborative projects
•   Experience working with and supporting populations traditionally 
underserved and under-represented in the media field

Application Instructions
Required:
•   Cover letter
•   Curriculum Vitae
•   List of 3 references with contact information
•   2 letters of reference (upload with your other materials)
•   1-2 page statement of your teaching philosophy and practice. Please 
focus specifically on your understanding and experience of interdisciplinary 
study and what you believe should distinguish a liberal arts education today
•   1-2 page statement of your experience and/or practice with diversity 
and equity issues (more information is available on our website: 
http://www.evergreen.edu/facultyhiring/equitydiversity)

Optional:
•   Scholarly work
•   Student Evaluations of Faculty 
•   Student Letters of Reference

Review of complete applications begins May 6, 2019. The posting may close to 
new applicaiton materials at any time after this date.

Perhaps these aren’t contemporary enough, but Al Jarnow’s Celestial Navigation 
(1984) includes a clock, a “clock” (Stonehenge), and uses the camera to 
repurpose his studio into another marker of time. Also, Len Lye’s trade Tattoo

Re: [Frameworks] [Labos] Newly Available: Eastman 7363 Single Perf Super 16

2018-06-20 Thread Ruth Hayes
Hi Zach, 

At Photoland at the Evergreen State College, I’ve been processing the old 7363 
I have (before Kodak discontinued it) as negative in Eco-Pro developer for 
paper prints. That’s what Photoland uses, and it’s worked really really well 
for me.

[Frameworks] Bolex 16mm camera repair contacts needed!

2017-10-26 Thread Ruth Hayes
Greetings all,

If you know of technicians qualified to maintain and repair Bolex 16mm cameras, 
would you please respond with that info?  We have about a dozen of these 
beauties here at Evergreen and we need help keeping them in service. It’s a 
critical part of our media curriculum.

Thank you!

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Animation Film Scripts (Bernard Roddy)

2017-04-05 Thread Ruth Hayes
Kit Laybourne’s The Animation Book and Maureen Furniss’  The Animation Bible 
both show thumbnail storyboards or diagrams for several experimental animated 
films, including George Griffin’s “Head” (this one is essentially a flow 
chart). The question of what constitutes “experimental” is critical, as Bernie 
notes. Some animations are experimental in their approach, dispensing with 
storyboarding, others experiment with genre, technique, etc.. So the script 
might simply be directions for proceeding without reference to image content or 
dialog or voice over.

Wells’ and Quinn’s Drawing for Animation, Clare Kitson’s monograph on 
Norstein’s Tale of Tales, Corrie Francis Parks’ Fluid Frames, and Amid Amidi’s 
Cartoon Modern might also provide good examples of experimental animation 
process documents.

16mm film production, Global Cinema, theory and practice of experimental 
performance, video installation and/or digital storytelling. We are 
particularly interested in candidates who are committed to exploring how media 
can be used to further community collaboration, democratize media practices, 
and reconstitute the public sphere.
 
This position is designed for a working artist and teacher. MA and active 
exhibition record required. MFA or other terminal degree preferred.

 
Minimum Qualifications

MA in Documentary or Media Studies or related field (Journalism, Community 
Studies, Film/Video Production)

Hi Tess,

I and other members of Olympia, WA. Crackpot Crafters (Devon Damonte, Jason 
Gutz, Eric Sarai, Meg Myhre, and several others) have been doing a lot of 
scratching on 16mm and 35, among other techniques, but not necessarily 
completing them as finished films. More likely projecting loops of them in 
live performance venues as expanded cinema. We have a Facebook page with some 
clips and images, and I've posted some of my loops to my vimeo page.  
(www.vimeo.com/ruthhayes)

You might also check out the chapter on Direct Animation in Maureen Furniss' 
Animation Bible for which Devon wrote a significant chunk, as I understand it!

Best,

Ruth

Re: [Frameworks] times for dektol and 7363

2014-08-04 Thread Ruth Hayes
At Evergreen we've been processing 7363 in Eco-pro paper developer with good 
results (the darkroom in Photoland has both red and amber safelights). I use 
trays for short strips and buckets for longer lengths.  Processing time is 
about 2 minutes for good blacks, sometimes a little less. I haven't been 
shooting it, but making photograms using a variety of lights, including 
florescent, LED, enlarger lighting and moon light.

 I’ve used Dektol with hi-con plenty, but my experience is that exposure times 
 are VERY short, definitely less than 1 min with the chemistry at room 
 temperature, even when I dilute the developer.  (It slows considerably as the 
 chemistry gets exhausted, of course.)  I rate hi-con at ASA 12 when I shoot 
 it, so that could make a difference in time to proper exposure.  Like 
 Christopher suggests, I do use a safelight with 7363 and just eyeball proper 
 exposure, but I find it VERY easy to miss the mark  end up with black film.  
 (I also process as negative, since I don’t love the idea of dealing with 
 scary bleach.)  
 
 I’m certainly not a lab expert, but I do demos of this regularly enough with 
 my students to feel pretty confident that my results are repeatable and that 
 these very fast development times aren’t just a one-time quirk.
 
 Can anyone else confirm this?

 Hi Erin,
 
 7363 is orthochromatic and is process until completion, so you can't 
 *really* overprocess it. It is extremely forgiving in terms of time and 
 temperature. I'd recommend processing under a safelight so you can watch the 
 process. Using a paper developer such as Dektol will afford you a wider 
 range of tones/greys over film developers and is a great way to play with 
 the stock. D-19 is a high-contrast developer and will typically give you 
 black or white with little in between. Usually I process short strands 
 (40'/12m or less) of 7363 in trays or buckets with paper developer and a 
 safelight until it looks done. Guessing around 5-6 minutes at 68F/20C. 
 I've honestly never checked the time but have had a lot of success with this 
 method.
 
 Cheers,
 Christopher Gorski

Re: [Frameworks] Oxberry Master Series Animation stand (model 5442) assembly

2014-02-08 Thread Ruth Hayes
Yes, that is Evergreen's Oxberry manual, adapted for our particular machine. 
It's currently under a dust cover, protected from a remodel that worked around 
it, and waiting for a retrofit so we can mount a DSLR on it.  The current 
set-up has a 16mm Mitchell camera and Spectrum Motion Control system running on 
a very old PC with MS DOS.  We will remove the old computer system and 
hopefully put in stepper motors with a more manual control similar to what it 
had originally.  I had the opportunity to look at the Oxberrys at USC last June 
that have DSLRs on them, but can also be converted back to film if that's what 
a student wants to shoot.  We support 16mm production in the media curriculum, 
so that's likely.

I'd appreciate hearing from others who are messing around with retrofitting 
animation stands, particularly Oxberrys.  Please contact me at my Evergreen
