Tonight we watched "Tarantula" (Castle Films 200ft),followed by "Monsters we have Loved", a Hollywood and the Stars 2 reeler narrated by Joseph Cotton with lots of clips from the old horror films. After this we watched "The Elizabethan Express" a great old British Transport Film from Walton on 1X400ft reel. We concluded the show with Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes". This was another Walton Films release on 4X400ft reels and was absolutely wonderful. It looks so much better on film than the DVD release. All were Super 8 sound and were recent Ebay acquisitions in excellent condition apart from one or two scratches on "Monsters we have Loved", but as I love these old monster films I didn't care. We projected the films with a Yelco ES 720 projector which we also bought recently on Ebay and is a really lovely machine, whisper quiet with a rock steady image. I honestly do not know how I would get such great films and equipment if it wasn't for Ebay. I have recently acquired a lot more features on Super 8 and 16mm so as it starts to get dark earlier we will have some more shows. It certainly makes a change from the rubbish on television.

Hey Gian!

Neat name for that "Revenge of the Sith" excerpt! "The Revelation" ... nice touch.

Now that it's getting darker JUST a little quicker, were planning on some slightly earlier watches, (as it's kind of hard to stay up late with a year ole baby!)

.... so we just watched the German/marketing STAR WARS digest. We haven't re-recorded it yet, but we know all the dialogue by heart, so no big rush! Great color and sharpness to that. Slight KODAK SP browning, but almost un-noticeable.

Cannot wait to post shots from the new arrivals, Osi! [Razz]
That title was the proper one, in my opinion. Thanks.
Take care.

A night for vintage footage, all on Super 8!

Disney Extract “Dalmatians Escape”
Disney Short “Main Street Electrical Parade”
+ five trailers followed by the feature “God’s Little Acre”

This was a very fun evening and EVERYTHING ran through the machines flawlessly despite the age of the prints, some of which showing signs of warmth & fade.

Tonight part 2 of my super8 scope party. Yesterday a bunch of trailers and a couple of Tom & Jerry Cineavision scope cartoons, and tonight it was the Ben Hur two-reeler, a bit reddish but I don't mind. Looked marvellous.

WAs Ben Hur released as a two reeler cinevision? I thought it was only a 1X400ft or a 3X400ft?

Hi Osi,
1X400ft is a two reeler, 4X400ft is 8 reels.

Osi

I don't know if this is what Paul means, but if you do the math.....he's actually right.

Speaking in terms of 200 foot sections.

And that works too because this movie in theaters was 70MM.

I have the feature of Ben Hur in super 8 scope. And there are cue marks throughout even when there is not a reel change within my print or between my machines.

Yep, it sounds confusing, but it makes sense if you can understand the logic.

Hi Osi,
concerning one reelers and two reelers, cartoons being one reelers are on 1X200ft reel. However the Laurel and Hardy two reel shorts are mounted on 1X400 reel.

This page from the Walton Films catalogue (1972) explains it all.

One-reelers, two-reelers, etc - all of this relates to 35mm originally. A "reel" of 35mm film runs 10mins.
A "two-reeler" on 8mm would be 400ft; on 16mm would be 800ft; on 35mm would be 2000ft.

At least, this has always been my understanding of the terms.

Oemer-

That looks like a very nice gathering! Thanks for the pictures.

I would love to see more gatherings of collectors around in the U.S., but its usually geographically and time challenging. But these pictures are encouraging though.

Hey Oemer ...

I hope that there weren't any open cleaners in the projection booth with that cigarette! [Big Grin]

I buy and sell with a few fellas over in Germany. Could you take one of the group photos and perhaps tell us who were the lucky fellas who got a night of movies?
