11th August 2009
Tuesday evening super 8 test screening:

Disney's FANTASIA (yes, once more!).

Italian ex print for rental (on Eastman...) edited by joining the nice introduction about different kinds of music (Derann issue: it won't be so difficult to understand the main shots I have posted are taken from this segment released by Derann) and substituting the SORCERER'S APPRENTICE sequence with Walt Disney Home Movies one.

Wears and lines are present; I'm actually waiting for other segments by Derann to 'restaure' the full feature.

Gian,

you need to say me how to take pictures like you do...
I'm only able to get with NIkon Coolpix ALWAYS OUT OF FOCUS and RED pictures? [Frown]
WHYYYY ???? [Confused]
How do do you set your camera to get pictures like the one you show here? [Eek!]

Hi Flavio.

Consider I take a lot of pictures while screening and then I select the best ones in a second moment.
About focus: of corse a lot of shots I take are out of focus.
I simply do my best to 'catch' frames not so much in movement.
Let's say that to post a shot I take at least 6!

I set my digital camera this way:

- ISO on 'automatic';
- RESOLUTION MODE on 'high' (I reduce the size before uploading the images on the forum);
- WHITE BALANCE on automatic;

That's all. Try and try again. As I wrote before, to post 8 shots I normally take at least 25/30!

Hope this will help. All the best.
GIAN

ALWAYS OUT OF FOCUS and RED pictures?
Flavio,

Out of focus is caused by your Auto Focus (AF) setting. Remember the AF setting works based on number of lights. Because during the show the object is always moving and the number of lights is also changing from time to time, the AF got "confused". So to deal with this you have to set the camera to manual focus. You have to put one target on screen and get manually focus with that target.

The redness appears on the picture is caused by your indoor camera setting (fluorescent). So the camera balances it with red. This can be also because you set the camera to "auto". Projector is using incandescent light (basically red-hot). So you have to set your camera also in manual setting (or "daylight") .

cheers,

Hi Gian, thanks for your suggestion!

Winbert, thanks for your useful explanation! I have another doubt related to exposure timing... Do I need to reduce it as much as possible in order to avoid also focus issues or it is not important?

I will soon (at least I hope) replace the old ones with the Derann prints.
Do you really want them? I mean, condition is not so good and on Eastman ( [Frown] ).
But if you do, they're yours.
Before, I'd like you to have an idea about the print.
I will PM you immediately attaching some extra shots.
No money required, of course. It's a gift.

Tonight my wife and I will view my latest acquisition: The Incredible Shrinking Man, 400 ft sound. I just got it in the mail today and it needs no work before I run it. That is, the leader is in perfect shape and plenty long.

This 1957 film is apparently a great movie, according to reviews on Amazon. This digest may spoil it for me, but I think I'll have to see the whole film on DVD after this primer.

John-

Congradulations- its a great 17 minute digest!

The full feature is very good too, and I do recommend you watch it at some point. But this 400 footer does a good job of telling the story, and retains some of the movie's atmosphere.

James.

You're right, James. It's a great digest, I loved it! Now I'll have to hunt down a rental copy of the movie so I can see the whole thing.

Yesterday- had a good scope show for my nephews and nieces (age 6-14):

-Reel #2 of the "Sound of Music" 3-part digest (note: This is an excellent reel, as it contains many of the best song numbers, including- "Do Re Mi", "The Lowly Goat", and "So Long, Farwell".

-"Bar-B-Que Brawl" (scope Tom and Jerry)

- A few scope home-movies (some of which they were in [Wink] ).

A well-enjoyed show, and some of them asked "Can we see [Sound of Music] again?"

Jean-Christophe how is the color on Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I love that film....

and Dan....... sounds fun and yummy [Smile] ........

Tonight I finally was able to sneak in a screening of a couple of 9.5 shorts...
The first was a western called OUT WEST which is the Pathescope title for an old Vitagraph feature Pioneer Trails (1923) It stars Alice Calhoun (Whom I'll call The Vitagraph girl,cuz she spent most of her career there hehe)and Cullen Landis a long time silent western player. The story was decent even in the cutdown and had some nice action scenes.
I preceded it by watching another Pathescope called Do Your Stuff also from 1923, this comedy features Paul Parrot, Jobyna Ralston & George Rowe in a farce where a donkey creates all sorts of havoc for Paul.

Last night I watched the Derann Disney release The Hunchback of Notredame. I had forgotten what a great print this is. Colours are rich and it is so sharp. Yet another great job done by Derann. It really looked great on the GS Xenon with its 1.0 lens.

Anyway the print will be on its way to Jeroen soon. At long last he is probably thinking [Smile]

GS1200 Xenon with Elmo 1.0...great combo along with a 16-CL Xenon for that super bright white light.

Dan,

JEREMIAH JOHNSON is a wonderful film. What sort of condition is your print? Is it Tech?
I'm envious.
