Peter and Jeroen, great pics, especially the ones from the phone? [Eek!] I'm impressed.

Gian - were those Fantasia shots taken while using your 1.3 lens?

Today I went down a serious road, coupled with trying out my new little elmo/eumig to 1/4 inch speaker jack I got from Dan Lail so I could pull the 8mm machines back out into the living room....

I started with the standard 8 for a 2 x 400 blackhawk scored print of JUDITH OF BETHULIA (1914) on the 5 foot screen (I put the cast list because I thought it was funny, the actors, and then...oh yeah servants, slaves, dancers, etc), then a long one roughly 2 hours on Super 8 HIS PEOPLE (1925) with Rudolph Schildkraut and among others Blanche Mehaffey (spelled Mehaffy in the credits) whom I have in a 9.5mm Glenn Tryon short, that I'll need to pull out again to see her differences between dramatic and comedic acting from around roughly the same time period.

Hello Dino, how are you?
It's always a pleasure to see the screen shots you post.
Anyway yes, the last ones I have posted were taken while using my ELMO ST and a 1,3 lens.

I used an old screen for the show. And the result was not as good as it usually is when using the 'official' big screen actually out of order because of my Christmas Tree (put up under it) eh eh eh.
Ciao.

New year's projection:
- Clash of the Titans (complete italian super8 version)
- Zip'n'Snort (Derann)

Today:
Fantasmi nello spazio (Ghosts in space), 16mm italian amateur film, with mag sound, found today in a flea market. It's a sort of Sci-Fi animation short film, made by an italian guy in the 70's, that may be classified as Z-movie... but it's so funny!!

John, I also screened that film last night!

"The Great Train Robbery" is always great for short screenings.

3rd January 2010, Sunday
Super 8 evening screening.
The movie: Hiller's LOVE STORY (1970).

Unfortunately, this is a very faded print on Kodak SP. Ex rental copy. Color is a little better than in the shots. But this is not one of my best movies. See, Osi? I also have fair prints in my collection eh eh eh.

Equipment: Elmo ST 1200 HD; Elmo 1,3.
Three more days and I'll go back to my usual, big screen!

No reflection on you, Gian, but it always amazes me how anybody could sit and watch a faded print.

[Wink] I understand, Michael. Also part of the fun...

Cannot remember when was the last time I had screened this before today (10/12 years ago? Maybe more?) but of course the print was definitely better when I bought it. A real pity [Frown] .

Besides the fade, it looks like a nice print.

Who did this title? Is it the full feature?

Yes Michael, it's the full feature, on 5*600ft.
No idea about who released it.
I believe it's not an authorized print.

Ahhh, it warms the cockles of me heart, my fine lad, Gian!

A brownie of a print is still watchable, depending on the the print and how crucial color was to the story. That's just my opinion. Yet another film I have never seen on Super 8. Bravo Gian!

For me, a faded print is still very fun. The feel of the film, the sound of the projector and the magnificent picture that you only get from 8 mm is what makes it for me [Smile]

Christian -

Cool, what a coincidence! I had just received my copy in the mail yesterday, and it was the first time I had seen the film in any form. Very interesting.

Hi Gian, I'm getting second thoughts about the LA PRIMA NOTTE DI QUIETE, only one day to go and stil just one bid. Maybe you can bid up to 50 Euro and see what happens? I guess I will have to learn Italian, so I can watch this movie [Smile]

Osi, that's true.

Top quality LPP prints are always a genuine pleasure. And Christian is right. The magic while touching the single frames, while screening and watching the running images on the screen, is something incomparable. As you states in your reviews, Osi, LONG LIVE SUPER 8!

Peter, the second bid is mine.
Just let me know how much you want to spend for it and I will try to do my best to win it for you [Wink] .

Osi, Gian's last screen shot shows that LPP is not always bluish as you mentioned. This is what I told you before. So it will depend on the labs.

cheers,

You are definitely right, Winbert. How prints hold color up (depending of course on their storage, temperature etc.) is a real mistery, sometimes.

The better part of all this, is that we are still here talking about it. This is simply great.
I will ship soon some extra movies to you, Winbert. Just give me a week to check a couple of things [Wink] .

Dino, great pics as well, you have an amazing collection of old movies.

Gian, I have a couple of red movies as well, never stopped me from enjoying them [Smile]
What do you think is a fair prise for the Zurlini? I will go up to 50 Euro. Let's see what happens. You're great for doing this, thanks so much..

You are more than welcome, Peter. In my opinion 50 euro will be okay. I wouldn't bid much more, considering LPP prints of this titles exist.
I will do what you asked me, don't worry. Once more, I hope to win it for you.
Stay tuned.

Our Provence trip is over and here's what we shown over last week :

- Horror of Dracula (beautiful Technicolor print, unfortunately, screenshots were mistakenly erased by the better half).

- Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (great Agfa print)
-

- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
-

I also finished installing the *cough*cough* non-film equipment (and sound system) and we watched the *cough*cough* of "Chicago" and "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea".

I guess that Dalila di Lazzaro is no stranger to that delight... [Big Grin]

And I love the italian title of the film:
"Il mostro è in tavola... barone Frankenstein"
I have a cool poster (logandina?) of it with a drawing of Dalessandro being served as a dish on a table...

How young and beauty she was (she still is!).
Locandina is the right translation. Cool indeed! And well, I cannot remember when was the last time I've seen this movie. I was probably a kid.
Where did you find it??? [Wink]

Jean Marc - Great shots as usual and great films Warhol's Frankenstein....the envy continues... But hey did you see I watched a french Star Crash recently...my only french film...

Peter - thanks for the kind words

OH and John and Christian are either of your Train Robbery's with the colored section and music track? Curious how it is holding up....

Tonight I only had time for a short a standard 8 Blackhawk 400 footer of the original Glen or Glenda [Big Grin] It was a Hal Roach short starring Glenn Tryon and Fay Wray entitled Madame Sans Jane (1925) and Tryon plays almost the whole film in drag. If you don't recognize him the dad is James Finlayson. I always appreciate the other Roach comics like Tryon and especially Arthur Stone.

Happy new year to everyone here on the forum.
Here I am again. Was at home since christmas and had no internet there. Read 5 new sites of this threat (Uff !)

Osi and Winbert, many thanks for your information about the film stock. I will look, what kind of stock my films have.

Dino, it is fine to see, how good those old pictures are.

Gian, fine to see your christmas greetings in my mailbox [Smile]
A lot of thanks and hope your christmas was nice. Is your christmas tree still in position ? [Big Grin]

Made some screenings during my time at home, but did not make some pictures, except of The Aristocats. It's an very good Derann print.

Projector: Elmo ST-1200 HD with 1.3 lens
