Re: [MOPO] Mickey and the Robot
Thanks Ari for the great compliment and review of Tommys film. Also I would like to thank all those on MOPO and style "B" list that have taken thier time to comment on my sons film project that was his "1st FIlm" however "2nd project" as the 1st was on DV video. He is shooting Tonight his next mini DV project which is a 1 minute Trailer" for a 70s-80s type gangster/ vigilante retro .. he likes the exploitation old trailers of like " Death wish" and others.. however with a comedy/parody element. He's been amazed with all the Eastwood reruns of the spagehtti westerns..the Bronson films etc.. so today one of the shots I was a "stunt driver" driving a truck through Boxes...he had 3 cameras aimed at differant aspects.. Unlike his last 16mm film these are on tripods.. and this will have more of a contempory feel with lighting etc. instead of the campy loose feel. He shot the Robot film as a sort of Homage to his favorite directors that started on humble budgets and gear.( hes shown me home movies they shot and that was the feel he wanted) . Like Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi, He also likes this Guy named "HR Bookwalter" who is from OHIO and Sam Raimi helped when he wwas 19 by giving him 10,000.. what I think is cool is to watch somone like my son discover cinema. He just keeps finding new ways to shoot and adapt.When You see a young minds eye at work its almost a art in itself. At the same time I relize his views are a summery Of Lucas, Speilberg, Coppola,Zemeckis, Rodriguiz, Jackson, Raimi, Romero, and the countless others that have left a impression on his eyes and ears and mind in his 18 years. What amzes me is that he like silents and really all genres.. Ive watched ,, singin in the rain, Grapes of wrath, Battle of the Bulge,to straight story, and Bad taste..to"what a wonderful life".. My point is You people in Mopoland and B-list have been a great part of his learning as I sent out over 20 dvds and the responce has come from many professionals and movie buffs from all areas of Life. The responce has been kind. Considering this was the 1st film project. The video will be easier to moniter light and sound as with the film he had to wait a week to get it back from New York. So after 600.00 in film and process he worked with what he had.. The film was supposed to be longer however time and money dictated the final piece. The next plan is to get him a mini dv/camera and he just start shooting a feature.. televison spots, documentrys, capture footage and get used to working with the gear.

Re: [MOPO] When does a restoration become a fake?
This is Sue from LAMP. J.R. is right in that we have been trying for many years to get a Restoration Code and/or Restoration Certificate Program off the ground. It was Ed who originally spoke of the possibility of taking an original, cutting it in pieces and restoring them to make additional posters. He was not only laughed at, there were actual barbs thrown at him for such a "ridiculous" idea. While he wasn't suggesting at the time that any dealers or restorers that we know would do this, there are, as you all know, unscrupulous individuals around who wouldn't think twice about this if there was money in it. Restorers have become so good, that it is not only feasible but highly likely that this will happen in the not-too-distant future. The Frankenstein half sheet is only the beginning. Fortunately, it was auctioned by Heritage who gave a full description of the restoration. What happens when it is sold/auctioned by someone not as knowledgeable or as reputable as Heritage? About five years ago, we presented the concept of a restoration code to several major dealers in the hopes that the dealers would institute it. They all agreed that it was a good idea, but the code was never used. When nothing was instituted, we even discussed it in our book, Learn About Movie Posters, which was published two years ago (pages 382-383). When we got no response to this idea, we tried the concept of the Restoration Certificate. It has been on our website for sometime, available for anyone's use, but I'm not sure if anyone is really using it. There is no question that something needs to be done in this direction. We have proposed a Code and a Restoration Certificate. Neither of these ideas have garnered much interest. Hopefully, this attention will finally get enough interest among collectors and dealers to get something implemented before someone gets burned. Because when it happens -- it will be for a major piece. Sue J R wrote: Doug and Sean, Buying an original for a lot of money just for pleasure can be considered reasonable if you're rich enough I suppose if you're paying for a rare original -- but can it be considered reasonable if the poster is only 33% original? Why not simply buy a print to display for pleasure in that case? Why pay $25,000 for something that is mostly NOT original? I think we can safely say -- with only 1/3 of the half sheet being original and the other 2/3 being a "restoration" and the poster selling for around $25,000 anyway -- that this means that the hobby has *already* reached the point where this kind of thing is considered "acceptable". And this brings up a much more important question: How do we (or future buyers) know that this 33% original FRANKENSTEIN poster will not show up for sale or auction someday -- WITH NO MENTION OF THE RESTORATION? If the restoration was as good as it appears to be and the poster is linenbacked, will most people be able to tell that the whole thing is not original? Or maybe it will be offered simply as "An original poster on linen restored to mint condition" with no further details (as is so common in the auction descriptions we see today). Maybe the claim will be that the poster is "mint condition with slight restoration" or any one of the variations on that theme which we see every day? How will anyone be able to know or say "Hey, wait a minute, this is that poster that was only 1/3 original before it was restored, isn't it?" If there is no certification stamp on the back of the poster... and no other identifying mark or "serial number" embedded in the poster -- then what is to prevent the new owner... or some subsequent owner... from representing this 33% original half sheet as a "restored original" or even just "original" at some future date? If the poster were offered though a major auction operation with a lot of experience, history and expert knowledge, perhaps the restoration would be detected and the poster described accurately. Who knows? But if it were a private sale, or just a regular auction done by owner or someone, what are the chances the truth about the poster would even be known -- or revealed in the description? Now that the restorers have become so superb at doing what they do, this has become a very important question. A couple of years ago on this list, some people joked about starting a business where they would take one rare original poster, cut it up into 10 pieces, mount each piece on linen and then "restore" each one to create 10 rare and valuable "original mint posters on linen." Everyone laughed at the time. With the sale of this 33% original FRANKENSTEIN half sheet for $25,000, the idea doesn't seem quite so funny anymore. Why shouldn't all poster buyers start insisting that any linenbacked poster they purchase MUST have a certification stamp on the back -- so that there is a way of knowing who did the work and checking on the le

Why shouldn't all poster buyers start insisting that any linenbacked poster they purchase MUST have a certification stamp on the back -- so that there is a way of knowing who did the work and checking on the level of restoration? I know a lot of people resist this idea -- but what are their reasons for doing so? And are they honorable reasons (if so, please explain them to me) or are they reasons based in greed and self-interest? Ed and Susan Poole at LAMP have been proposing a formal certification program like this for over a year now (see http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/newsite/index/articles/restorationforms.asp ) -- however, they are only "suggesting" that some kind of identification be put on the back of the poster, whereas to be truly effective buyers should insist upon there being certification in ink on the back of the linen. There are some backers and restorers who are doing exactly this. People like Dario at Resurrection Restoration Studios ( http://www.resurrectionrestoration.planetmopo.com/ ) and several others (please let me know who you are). I would like to create a place on the internet where people who are having a poster backed or restored can find out which operations will guarantee putting certification on the back of the poster as a standard part of their service. I would be glad to host such a list online at MoviePosterBid, and I think Ed would do so at LAMP as well. But I'm sure there are plenty of people who will still resist this idea and with no greater motivation (by which I mean pocketbook pressure) certification simply isn't going to become common practice. So, even with a certification program in place -- and with a list of those who are certifying their work available on the internet -- it will take the pressure of the market place to really make certification a "standard practice". I would love to see the major auctioneers like Heritage and Bruce Hershenson start refusing to offer linenbacked posters that do not have certification (or at least stating clearly in their auctions descriptions that the poster is NOT certified and that they have no idea what percentage of the poster is "restored").

[MOPO] Fw: [MOPO] collecting for pleasure or money
- Original Message - From: "deball.oh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] collecting for pleasure or money JR, Very good post! But, when talking Big Bucks, they become investments! Good...Bad...who knows? Only time and markets will answer! We all take chances on all investments! If picking up a poster..by chance, under market value, selling it at market value, that's an investment making money! I totally agree with you on the Frankenstein 1/2 sh. Only the FR in Frankenstein title was original. I really hope this field doesn't get to the point that this type of restoration or recreating becomes acceptable. Doug - Original Message - From: "J R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 5:15 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] collecting for pleasure or money Doug, Allen, and others, I don't have money to burn, far from it -- which is exactly why I don't worry about the value of my poster collection. I spend only what I can afford and what I feel a poster is worth to me *as a movie poster* (not as an investment) and therefore can enjoy it and keep it as such and not worry about what the current market price is for it. I have put down tens of thousands more than I ever would for a poster when I was putting the money in stocks or real estate -- because those *were* investments and I regarded them as such and fully intended to sell them eventually and wanted to make a profit. That's investing, not collecting. I realize that to many people -- far too many, in my humble opinion -- collecting and investing are one and the same. Not me. I keep the two areas of endeavor completely separate. This lets me enjoy my collecting and only worry about my investments. If I worried about my collection because it was also an investment, it would diminish my enjoyment of it considerably. It has been pointed out that in general, collectibles are not great as investment vehicles because they are not that liquid and can take a long time to get you money out of them -- if you ever do. Yes, you can get lucky and buy one cheap that proceeds to skyrocket, but you can do the same with stocks and real estate and other more liquid and appropriate vehicles as well. This lack of liquidity and the uncertainty about "what's the real price of my poster?" are just more reasons why I prefer to keep my investing to more appropriate standardized vehicles and buy my movie posters just because I like them and want to own and display particular ones. Seriously, Allen, I really don't care what the market value of my collection is. I've never calculated it, even though as a buyer I keep a fairly close eye on what prices are like because I continue to make purchases. But once a poster becomes part of my collection, what happens in the future to its "market value" isn't really an issue for me. Because of my attitude of buying a poster ONLY for its value to me as a poster -- and not as an investment -- I am unlikely to ever pay even $5,000 for a poster, much less $25,000 or $100,000. Why? Because I've never seen a movie poster that I liked well enough to pay even $5,000 for -- no, not even the fabled half-million dollar MUMMY poster. Sorry. They are movie posters, folks -- not one-of-a-kind original oil paintings on canvas by internationally-recognized master artists. They are not 300-year old pieces of oak furniture, or ancient Chinese porcelain, or jade sculptures. Even with the best preservation, most are unlikely to last more than 100 years. They are movie posters -- cheaply printed, mass-distributed pieces of advertising paper. Some of them are wonderful, and can be worth a lot because they are beautiful and rare and more people want to own than the existing supply will allow -- but that only goes so far with me, because I have a whole lot of better things to do with 5 grand... or more... than spend it on a cheaply printed, mass-distributed pieces of advertising paper, no matter how rare and beautiful. Although I love movie posters and have been collecting them for 40 years, I'm just not interested in spending much more than $5,000 for one --usually a lot less -- because to pay more would mean I would be forced to consider its "investment potential" and I have no interest in doing that with movie posters. Obviously, many others do. I lament this. I understand it... I know why people do it... but I lament it nonetheless. Like I've said, it isn't always about the money. Or at least it shouldn't be. Making it about the money tends to makes weird and strange speculative things happen -- like someone being willing to pay $25,000 for a poster that was only 1/3 original paper and two-thirds brand-new restoration. In other words, two-thirds fake... a reproduction... NOT original. Why? Because the *title* is now considered an investment vehicle worth the $25,000 -- not the poster -- the title. You can buy a beautiful print of the poster for $20 or $30 bucks if you just want t

Re: [MOPO] Mickey and the Robot
A heartwarming tale of lonely man and his new friend. Mickey and the Robot is a funny feel-good short film, with a robot straight from 50's Sci-Fi, this simple tale of Man and his "post-dog" best friend cannot help but put a smile on any viewers face. Great stuff Tom, I will be sending to some film festivals and will let you know where it screens (probably Australia and Germany) All the best, Ari Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
