Re: A CHRISTMAS STORY. I remember Peter Billingsley from when he was a kid. He was friends with my cousin in Chestermere Lake, AB. It was pretty surreal showing up the year A CHRISTMAS STORY came out and visiting my brother, babysitting my cousin, and the kid from A CHRISTMAS STORY shows up and we ...

At least 99% of the people of the world have lives which mean nothing, in which they accomplish nothing, stand for nothing, and focus on imaginary religious delusions. The only thing they manage to accomplish is the same thing slugs accomplish -- biological reproduction.

The world is far, far ...

To reduce extra staff cost and inconvenience, X-ray and metal detector walk-throughs have been increased in sensitivity by several fold in North America in the past year.

During recent first class flights across North America both south and west, trips through the metal detector required extensive ...

This camera is a pointless exercise, as modern filmstocks are normally unavailable in the double super 8 format. Also, as has been pointed out quite logically, there are sources to aquire "rebuilt as new" super 8 cameras of professional design at a fraction of the cost. They will not succeed in ...

I also love that the article beneath the DS8 article is about slot cars, my other diminuitive love.

Well, that makes three among a posters audience of 25-35. videofred and super8man are the others.

Your clarification certainly makes sense.

There is a tiny handful of full time professional cinematographers who are not "wedding guys" on a website such as cinematography.com. Actual professional cinematographers in the film and television industry might use sites such as http://www.cinematography.net , although even there recently a ...

I don't know who Roger is, but you seem as uncertain about various aspects of film and video technical issues as persons I've helped educate on this webboard such as "mattias" and "moviestuff" (and somebody else whose webboard name escapes me, somebody who didn't understand the enormous gap between ...

This is very obvious, is it not?

100d is the best colour reversal film material best suited to today's super 8 needs.

Virtually all super 8 hobby filmmaking today is outdoors, any reasonable camera will register 100d like they do Plus-X and, in the cameras worthy of serious filmmaking, the ASA ...

Cadillacs are fine cars. They lost their way in the 1970's and 1980's. But overall, they were so well respected and persons say "the Cadillac of..." because in prior decades they represented the best of American industry. Through much of the 20th Century that truth of American industry excellence ...

I have never seen anyone that has filed open their gate "duck" the question about what focal lengths work with the wider aspect ratio. It is common knowledge that vignetting occurs on one side and everyone that has experimented with the wider gate has made that perfectly clear with no attempt to ...

No. I just widened the gate and ran a couple of tests. Funny, on my 814, I seem to have almost the entire zoom range (10mm-max) while on my 1014, I'm much more limited (20mm-max). All I did was recut the gates on both. I'm thinking my 814 will be my main camera from now forward.

In my recent ...

"....Remember, they went ahead with a t-grain 400 speed Kodachrome that was never sold due to customer apathy...."

Because Kodak waited about 20 years too long to offer it. I remember working photo retail just out of high school in the mid 70's and all the pro photographers I knew would have ...

Images were captured to 1920x1080 10 bit 4:2:2 uncompressed, cropped to remove sprocket holes, and encoded to WMV HD codec at 10000 kbps.


although your mpeg looks satisfactory, though of less quality than even a standard definition true 10 bit uncompressed transfer using a legitimate telecine ...

that doesn't sound right. are you watching the two above each other on an lcd screen by any chance? try putting them side by side. you're not supposed to notice any difference in color and contrast whatsoever, had there been any i would have done something wrong. digibeta and dv use the exact same ...
