A new play honoring the death of analog film

Hey everyone, I'm trying to raise awareness and gain support for my new project, a multimedia live performance called "Memorial Service to Follow." It's something I think you all would find interesting. It's about a filmmaker, who while saying goodbye to his art form, realizes he's still mourning ...

Re: Tri-X - half a stop overexposure

So you're saying you can't adjust the exposure on the camera?

If that's the case, I would do what other's have said, break out the ND filters. Since Tri-X is a reversal film, it's better to under-expose than over expose. If you over expose your film, you're going to loose detail in your highlights ...

Re: Need advice for ultra short throw 16mm projection

Thanks for your help! I'm happy to hear that it's possible. When adding a wide angle adapter to the lens of a 16mm projector, are there any types of lenses that will be compatible "out of the box" or adapters? Or am I going to have to come up with my own rigging to make it work?

Need advice for ultra short throw 16mm projection

I'm a film student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I'm getting ready to put on a performance with live 16mm projections. For the piece I would ideally like to place the projector about 8-10 feet away from an 8x8 foot screen. I know this is an extremely short throw for 16mm, but I'm ...
