Author Topic: Upload your random pictures Arthur Allen Film Handler Posts: 99 From: Renton, WA, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 08-30-2002 09:37 PM                        I followed the directions, I took out the spaces, and changed nothing else. The image was under 100k, and was 164 by 171, so it wasn't too wide.

Why are the frame lines on the perfs?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-27-2002 06:58 AM                     I've never seen that. What format is that?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-27-2002 07:22 AM                    The format was called "7012" and was intended as a shooting format for 70mm release, the brainchild of an outfit called Imagination FX back in 1989. Don Fergus and Jim Martin were the contact names. I never noticed the alignment of the framelines with the perfs--obviously that's how their movement aligned with their aperture but why I cannot say. Maybe that's why this never caught on--no way to cut it!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-27-2002 07:25 AM                     Standard 8mm film cuts through the frame line.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-27-2002 10:28 AM                        quote: I've never seen that. What format is that? Arnoldscope came to mind, but that's 10-perf 35mm, not 12.? The original post was 35mm, not 70. Hmmm... So this format was a way of shooting which was copied to 70mm afterwards? The camera aperture would be just shy of 2.25 inches in width and would be 0.981 in height (since no soundtrack was there). That gives an aspect ratio of about 2.29:1 .  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-27-2002 11:15 AM                    It would have been optically printed to 70mm (65mm intermediate perhaps) with a copy ratio very close to 1:1, perhaps even a slight reduction depending if one is simply covering the projectable area or putting excess image under the inner mag stripes. The advantage would have been the ability to use any 35mm film stock and process anywhere. I don't have any information on the camera and whether (one would hope!) it could handle 2000' loads otherwise the 3.7 minutes you'd get with 1000' would be a problem. And I can't see such a movement as being capable of very high speeds.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

In order to get a 3D camera under the space shuttle's weight and size constraints, IMAX designed a 3D camera that used one strip of 65mm film with the left and right eye images alternating (as in LRLRLRLRLR) with a 30-perf pull across at 24 fps. The alternating images were separated in the post-production process.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-27-2002 06:24 PM                     I've got old issues of American Cinematographer and Millimeter magazine that have little blurbs about the 12-perf 35mm format. I think it is a shame it hasn't caught on. Perhaps there's too much negativity against VistaVision still? Very obvious advantages for 12/35. It has a slightly larger negative area than 5/70. And any motion picture film lab can handle it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-27-2002 06:55 PM                     Some cameras that pull alot of perfs do it in two steps instead of one. This allows for a more compact movement, and smaller, and easier to make cams for the pull down claws and reg pins. Imax originally did their pull down in two steps although some of the later cameras do it in one step. Unlike a projector it only has to go through once so any strain the film and perfs is getting is only a one time deal.

Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-27-2002 08:57 PM                     OK, I gotta ask something here... What is going on with pictures here? EVERY picture posted to Film-Tech since about 2 weeks ago come up on my end displaying a blurry closeup of Joe's face and a warning about 'Illegal Pictures' under it. From what I have been able to gather others are not seeing what I am. Can someone tell me whats up with this?!? -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Now look closer. A little bit closer. Yes, that's it, right there. A scroll bar. (The Opera browser does not suffer from this on low resolution screens.) I think I'll flip flop the "forums" button with the "upload" button. That'll force people to find it.  |  IP: Logged
