[Frameworks] Save Lolita: new film urges release of captive killer whale
http://news.mongabay.com/2013/0122-hance-lolita.html Through his new 90-second PSA,Save Lolita, filmmaker Daniel Azarian wanted to connect people to the plight of Lolita on a deeply human level; the only problem: Lolita is an orca, also known as a killer whale. But the stark, moving PSA succeeds, given the sociability of an individual—human or orca—who was stolen from her family and held in captivity for the past 42 years at Miami's Seaquarium. - Sandy Maliga ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] ELEPHANTS AND FILM
Not "advocating". I don't want to see any elephants killed. I have no interest in ivory. I can't understand how there could be people who do not understand that elephants should never be killed. BUt there are. There are people who lie for money and people who listen to them. Moreover people who like ivory have no respect for the law. And the laws are not enforced. So what can be done? As I understand the Chinese, they are pretty pragmatic, if I can generalize. Maybe taking action to propose a way to get legitimate ivory could deflect some of the interest in illegal ivory. Prohibition leads to crime, legalizing and controlling is better. When elephants could live and flourish in the wild there were natural deaths that left tusks. If a herd was provided with space to thrive tusks could occasionally be found. If the space was limited humans might be able to reverently "cull " the herd by painlessly killing "extra" males and gathering their tusks. A mother with young would never be killed by rational "keepers." Poachers are not concerned with keeping elephants alive; they care only for short term profit. Poaching must be illegal. Murdering mother elephants must be illegal. Perhaps another possibility is to pressure the Chinese government to enforce the laws. I went to the Chinese news in English - CCTV site http://passport.cntv.cn/app_pass/verify/english/new/login.jsp?errtype=-5# and they have articles about the threats to elephants. So some Chinese are aware. How do THEY propose to get the word out to those who buy ivory? - Sandy On Mar 18, 2013, at 2:36 PM, Sandra Maliga wrote: > This is tragic and infuriating. > > Why can't anyone tell the Chinese people that elephants are threatened?

Re: [Frameworks] ELEPHANTS AND FILM
This is tragic and infuriating. Why can't anyone tell the Chinese people that elephants are threatened? If elephants are extinct there will be NO MORE IVORY. Don't they have media in China? Get the word out. Why don't the Chinese import some elephants and start their own herd? They could manage them carefully and eventually harvest ivory when the herd needs thinning. No matter the cost; demand for ivory will drive the price ever higher. They could promote "homegrown" ivory as superior.

Re: [Frameworks] what to do with all my old film stuff??????
Transfer to HD selectively. This is not easy or cheap. Pat O'Neill digitized the image from some of my prints but I am still trying to get around to digitizing the audio, syncing it up and organizing the drives. You probably don't need to keep the outtakes. You might be able to sell the equipment on Craigslist or donate to a local film center. It takes lots of mental and emotional energy to do this. I am dealing with 8mm and super 8mm footage. Paid to have some of it transferred ( used a Groupon). But it didn't look very good. I want to find time to capture it from a projector.

The installation of Mr. Downey’s mature works in the current show qualifies as a crime against art, since several of them are set up so closely in the back gallery that the audio tracks literally interrupt and cancel each other out. The effect would be comic — the ultimate version of exhibition design as postmodern pastiche — if it weren’t so depressing. This, after all, is the first major survey of Mr. Downey’s work in this country, and to see it mishandled this way is yet another testament to how video, more than 40 years into its life as an art medium, is still treated like the unwanted stepchild of contemporary art."

Enlightening! Thanks for this!. -Sandy Maliga On Dec 27, 2011, at 8:51 PM, Jeff Kreines wrote: There is a common belief -- which, like a lot of common wisdom should be looked at skeptically -- that small format film lacks enough useful "information" to require scanning at resolutions greater than pillarboxed HD (1080 x 1440) or cropped HD (1080 x 1920). Some feel that for Super-8 and 8mm, NTSC, PAL, and 720P are, in the words of an engineer I know, "good enough." But I don't think anyone really tested this properly -- they just said what seemed logical enough to them. It's fine to say "that looks pretty good at 1080 x 1440" but those who say this probably did not try scanning the same film at higher resolutions to see if there was an appreciable difference. I did some simple tests, and honestly was quite surprised at the results. Even when the final release format is HD or less, the advantages of high resolution scans are obvious. I put together a little PDF you can download, with both Super-8 and grainy 16mm samples scanned at different resolutions. It was written in response to a report by the Swiss group Memoriav, which was doing tests of small format (for them this includes 16mm) scanning. Here's a link: http://db.tt/iriz5nyY Here are links to full-res TIFFs of the files used -- zoom in on them and see what you are losing with lower resolution scans.

Furthermore, digitizing to a compressed file will allow you to easily edit without freezing up your system. As for projection quality, I've been on the road for a year a half with Crooked Beauty--which was transferred on the above specs--and have seen it projected on a the best (and worst) systems, the former in a huge theater on a commercial sized screen and it looked stunning. I spent 3 months researching tech options, and the consensus from all the folks I consulted with was that uncompressed is overkill for super 8 because the frame size only contains so much 'information'. So spend the money upfront during the transfer (I highly recommend sitting in with owner/operator Phil Vigeant at Pro 8) and it will be smooth sailing down the line.

Students in cinema history classes should be taught to appreciate film and studio arts students should experience handling film but kids who want to become media professionals do not need to make things on celluloid.
