Well, here's part one of the "fall harvest" at CS6.
The weather was cool but beautiful; on Sunday it got up into the 70es:
Once the load-in and set-up were complete, the party got going:
As usual, the tables were full of goodies:
...this time also including 35mm:
...and the conversation flowed:
I'll stop now as I am reaching the server limit for pictures and when someone posts back, I can continue this to keep all of the pics in one thread.
Claus.

Looks like a great time! I would like to make it to the next one. I will really try hard to make it possible. I'm about 11 hours away if I drive....

Keep the photos coming, Claus.

wow claus looks like the atmosphere there was electric and looks like there are some gems there mate
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 21, 2012, 11:03 AM:
As usual, Lou Franchetti and son held court with groaning tables:
Nice to see Steve Klare and his film-loving son Steven attend:
...yep, with that T-shirt, little Steven is definitely on the right track :
Doug was busy both with screenings and video coverage...
...and this time on his "museum table", he featured two historic products, the very beginning of sound-on-film in Super-8, both in flawless shape.
"Classic Images" generously provided stacks of issues for the taking:
Ok, that's it for this time; someone reply and I'll add more.
Claus.

Jeeze!
Never pose for a photo fresh off the beach!

Brilliant ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
....keep them coming Claus

Wow! Looks like this was the best Cinesea yet!
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 21, 2012, 04:55 PM:
Now, now Steve...It ain't that bad ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
, a cute moment with your boy.
I'll try to get more pics up tomorrow.
Claus.
Posted by Paul Adsett (Member # 25) on October 21, 2012, 07:01 PM:
Claus, your pics are very much appreciated and enjoyed by those of us who unfortunately could not attend the convention.
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 22, 2012, 10:39 AM:
Thank you for the kind words; I am glad you find this enjoyable.
As always, there were plenty of "toys" to look at. Gary Crawford set up one of his "old warhorse" Kodak Pageants with a 'Scope lens, and it produced lovely images:
"I'm telling you, THIS is just pocket change...":
Time to add fresh leader:
...then kick back and watch:
Always featured: John Capazzo's excellent espresso (and homemade cake):
That's the limit on pics for this installment. Got a few more to go, so someone just post back.
Claus.

Claus,
Wonderful work!
Doug
Posted by Paul Adsett (Member # 25) on October 22, 2012, 12:09 PM:
These kind of convention pics always renew my enthusiasm for this great hobby.
Posted by Lee Mannering (Member # 728) on October 22, 2012, 12:24 PM:
Wonderful pictures and very well done to you all.
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 22, 2012, 12:34 PM:
Thanks guys!
This time, two unusual machines showed up, one a famous model, the other totally obscure.
The big Beaulieu proved to be a quiet runner with a killer Schneider lens on it:
Now for the obscure: hands in the air, has anyone ever heard of...the Synchronex Radiant???
Talk about a "designer look"...as a musician, I love one touch here: the third square knob, the tone control, has "low" and "high" musical notes as symbols for "bass" and "treble":
As always, one table held no film, only memories...
Thanks again, John, for bringing us all together:
The conversations never ended. Stories about rare overseas editions, theatres open and closed, vinegar syndrome...you name it, it most likely was talked about:
Meanwhile, the films kept rolling, including this beauty of a 'scope print:
"I DON'T CARE WHAT IS CHASING ME, JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS EASTMAN PRINT!!!":
...still have a bit more to go.
Claus.
Posted by Michael O'Regan (Member # 938) on October 22, 2012, 01:09 PM:
Loving the photos, Claus. Keep 'em comin'.
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 22, 2012, 04:22 PM:
Gary Crawford's line-up. He had, as usual, very nice prints with him:
This old favorite has been on Doug's table for so long it's become part of the decor...it would be like something was missing if it ever got sold :
How many film gatherings have had IMAX film? (well, ok, nobody brought the projector for it...):
Doug, Gary and I had gone to dinner, having arrived Friday night. The waitress was very nice and we mentioned we were film collectors. She asked what we did for a living and seemed sceptical at the answers...when our split bill came, this is what it said:
"Actor"...that's Gary
"Cameraman"...Doug
"Other Odd Collector"....well, there's only one other person in the group, right?
With Saturday night came the big dinner. The Boathouse restaurant was very good; I can personally vouch for the fresh scallops and the steak, and there wasn't a dull moment:
Just a few more to wrap it up....
Claus.

Claus you have done an excellent job of telling the story of the weekend in your pictures and narration!
Bill
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 22, 2012, 04:36 PM:
Thank you, Bill, glad you enjoyed. I have fun being the "documentarian."
Claus.
Posted by Paul Adsett (Member # 25) on October 22, 2012, 07:43 PM:
Claus's pics are great PR for Cinesea, I imagine a lot more people will try to make the next one in May.
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 22, 2012, 08:36 PM:
A few closing comments and pictures.
It seems some folks think this is "too small" an event to get to, or that the location is not good enough.
Consider this: the very charm of it is that it is not a mega-event in a big city hotel, but that it is set on the Jersey shore in a funky, fun area, and right on the ocean, beautiful beach and all.
I don't think anyone who has come to CineSea has walked away disappointed. The friendly feeling, the 50/60es atmosphere of Wildwood...it's just very enjoyable.
A special mention to the lovely Simone who runs the front desk at the Ocean Holiday Resort. With her spirit and great stories, she always kicks us off to a great start when we arrive.
A few last pics that just drive home why we come: the love of film. The ability of film to make us sad, happy, intense...the power and beauty of the medium:
Thank you for following this long thread; I hope some of what you saw might influence your travel plans in the spring of 2013
A final view, a typical one; the last evening sunlight hitting the Morey's Pier amusement park down the road:
See you at CineSea.
Claus.
Posted by James N. Savage 3 (Member # 83) on October 23, 2012, 05:38 AM:
Claus- Thanks so much for the pictures. I wish I could have been there, but I hope to be there for the Spring Cinesea in May.
Its good to see such a great attendence too.
James.

No Shorty this year?
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on October 23, 2012, 08:15 AM:
Michael,
Unfortunately Shorty couldn't make it this time. Not only was his knowledge of Blackhawk/short films missed, but also the fun when he and Gary Crawford do impromptu bits using dozens of different voice impressions. Give these men a show of their own!
Doug
Posted by Michael O'Regan (Member # 938) on October 23, 2012, 12:38 PM:
Looks like a great day anyway, Doug.
Posted by Kevin Hassall (Member # 2352) on October 23, 2012, 01:02 PM:
great pictures again claus wish i could make it to this event but curcumstances stop me oh well at least i can drool over the pictures ha ha
Posted by Jim Schrader (Member # 9) on October 24, 2012, 01:13 PM:
it would be neat to see what doug was taking pictures of?
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on October 24, 2012, 05:16 PM:
What an amazing job Claus has done. Brilliant shooting and writing!
Jim,
I plan on editing in a week or two.
Doug
Posted by Hugh Thompson Scott (Member # 2922) on October 24, 2012, 06:07 PM:
Claus those pictures stand by themselves as an advert for your
convention,excellent, and Doug does remind me of Harrison Ford,
no offense intended.
Posted by Claus Harding (Member # 702) on October 24, 2012, 06:38 PM:
Well, thank you very much!
I'll let Doug and you battle it out over the Ford reference...hey there are far worse things to be called in this world
Claus.

Posted by Patrick Walsh (Member # 637) on October 28, 2012, 04:27 PM:
looks like a great convention!, Im thinking of making the trip up to the states myself to attend next year!
Posted by Winbert Hutahaean (Member # 58) on October 28, 2012, 04:39 PM:
I believe there are more film collectors in the USA than in the UK. But the vast land of this country making it is not easy to invite people gather together in one place.
But the Cinesea has brought a new dimension of film collecting hobby in the USA.
Posted by Paul Adsett (Member # 25) on October 29, 2012, 11:02 AM:
Good job Cinesea was not this weekend - New Jersey is going to get pounded from Hurricane Sandy.
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on October 29, 2012, 11:56 AM:
Paul,
Yes indeed....the parkway that leads to Atlantic City and Wildwood has just been closed due to flooding.
Doug
Posted by Maurizio Di Cintio (Member # 144) on October 29, 2012, 01:11 PM:
Hi, there! Any chance the new gathering will take place during the period 3/29 - 4/2 2013? In that case I might make it to the event (I'd really love to).
Well done everybody!
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on October 29, 2012, 02:46 PM:
Maurizio,
I can't say definitely yet, however it looks like the next CineSea will take place in early May. Please let me know if you'll be coming into New York as it would be terrific to see you again.
Doug
Posted by John Clancy (Member # 49) on October 30, 2012, 04:52 AM:
We should really get the next event date listed on the BFCC site. And now that I mention it, anyone got the date for Geoff Wheeler's gathering at Tadley next year?
Posted by Maurizio Di Cintio (Member # 144) on October 30, 2012, 12:24 PM:
Doug, you bet I will.
Take care.
Maurizio

The Now for the obscure: hands in the air, has anyone ever heard of...the Synchronex Radiant??? 
This would be the Silma 250S In the UK known as Prinz Compere Super 8, these were sold in the UK by Dixons High Street shops. Silma were an Italian manufacture and some appeared as OEM badged.
Hope the 2013 event is a good time for all you collectors over there.
Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 02, 2013, 07:27 PM:
That was so touching to see the seller table for John ... no films but memories, really, quite touching, lads!
Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on April 03, 2013, 01:23 PM:
I always place a film or two there, in his memory
