The camera operator is Jeff Seaholme... assisted by a Technicolor colour consultant, perhaps?  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 03-06-2005 05:42 AM                     A piece I used to own.

I sold it. I needed money, and it took up too much wall space (20"x36" if i remember correctly) That sign was a rare piece too, many prominant collectors had never seen that one before. Unfortunately when i sold it, USPS managed to break it in half according to the recipient. Fortunately they paid my claim in full; USPS will insure antiques and artwork, where FEDEX and UPS will not. So if you're going to be mailing something valuable like film prints or antiques, keep that in mind.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-06-2005 02:17 PM                        I know exactly what you're talking about. A colleague at another English regional film archive had a 1934 16mm Dufaycolor reversal element deposited. That film contained footage of of a village which was later submerged by a reservoir built after the war. She scanned a few film frames, established that the film was incredibly unique, packaged the element up and sent it by Royal Mail special delivery (i.e. packages are barcoded and tracked, supposedly) to a lab in London for duplication. It never arrived. The Royal Mail lost it, and those scanned frames are now all we have from the film. After hearing that story I will always telecine a unique (or suspected to be unique) film element before taking it to a lab, if I feel that it is in a good enough state to withstand a trip through our Rank Mk. II. At least if the worst happens, we'll still have the video. Then I take the thing myself to the lab. If it's nitrate I drive it, if not I usually fly. When I get to the lab I give them instructions that the dupe neg and digibeta (we usually can't afford to have a viewing copy made on film, though on some rare occasions we can) should be sent as a separate package, and only after we've acknowledged safe arrival should the original element be sent on. The lab I normally use (this one) knows the drill, and I gather that they now suggest this procedure to anyone else who sends them original elements for preservation copying.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-06-2005 11:00 PM                     Now if you boys will just sit tight till we get this thing wound up.....  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 03-15-2005 02:00 AM                         |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Did you use a red filter on the lens..... Fill us in please..... Mark  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

No filters...I was pleasantly surprised at how well the sky came out without a red filter, actually. I took that picture about two weeks ago (March 5) with a Yashica twin-lens reflex camera (sort of a cheap copy of a Rolleiflex) which I picked up recently. It was shot on 120 format (2 1/4" square) Tri-X Pan (not TXP) at f/16 and 1/500th (I think). The print was made by a local lab. on Ilford paper and scanned on my el-cheapo Epson flatbed. Here's another shot that I took on the same day:  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!
