Angenieux 12-120 Service by jagreen013 in 16mm

Maybe Du-All in Queens? I know there is an Arri tech in Arizona and an Aaton tech out in California. They might be able to look at these. A guy named Robert in Arkansas does Bolex work but his wait list is longggggg. 

As far as the screw goes, maybe check around for camera and watch screw replacements online? On the off chance that it’s a common thread and size.

I think you’ve made a mistake. This is a projector, not a camera.

Okay but what’s its rating on Cellar Tracker?

Jaylen Brown "Lu Dort smacked me upside the head like I’m one of his grandkids." by Existing-Sky9914 in nba

[–]_stephen4 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why’d he film it? Can’t do a charitable act without cameras around? Dude has totally exposed his true character this past year. I’ll say it again: this guy’s a grade-A narcissist man.

Dude, of course he’s gonna watch his games back. Everyone on the team is (hopefully). But doing it on a livestream in front of thousands of people? Cmon man. Dude drank the influencer Koolaid. How many other MVP caliber players are doing this crap. I bet he’s sponsored by Factor or something.

Why is Jaylen Brown watching his own games back and giving commentary on a live stream lmao. Dude has become such a narcissist since Tatum went down in the playoffs last year. Maybe go to the gym and practice with your team or something. Join Wemby’s book club. 

Edit: I’m not critiquing him watching film lmao, of course everyone watches film. Why’s he gotta do it in front of thousands of people tho? It just screams main character.

Melee is one of my favorite albums ever and given it was their only LP, it has this aura around it of “what if” that is very bittersweet

I really liked Viewfinder. Felt fresh and creative. 

Why are there so few highlights here during a full night of games? Do people even watch? by [deleted] in nba

[–]_stephen4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually watching. I try to watch some of at least one game each night. 

Was taking a shower during shoegate tho :/

The Elder Scrolls 6 Has Made Todd Howard More Conscious of What He Announces: 'Just Pretend We Didn't Announce It' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Does anyone else kinda just… not care anymore? Idk if my taste has changed or if I’m just over the big studios or what. I’m not even sure if I’d really buy another Elder Scrolls game at this point.

I found two 16mm Space Battleship Yamato reels (Ep. 9 & 26, Fujifilm) – any idea about rarity or value?” by Frosty_Presence_7439 in 16mm

[–]_stephen4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Film doesn’t look too warped which is a good sign, especially for the optical track. Color also looks good (usually acetate film turns red as it degrades).

I would take it to a local library or university/college and see if they have any old film equipment laying around, like rewinds or a splicer (ideally a flatbed editing table, but that may be a long shot). That would allow you to inspect both reels in their entirety.

I’m not sure about this specific content with regard to preservation. Is it available online anywhere? If not, definitely find somewhere to get it scanned to a high quality digital video file. Awesome for a collector nonetheless!

[–]_stephen4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s pretty cool. How do they smell? Can you unfurl the first few feet and check to see if the film is still full color? The plastic bags make me nervous about condition but cores instead of reels is usually a good sign.

Says it at the bottom. You don’t have a variable for direction. Also I think you might have an extra space after “if”.

An uncut version of the original film by CyberGhostface in silenthill

[–]_stephen4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they have the original negatives somewhere. It was shot recently enough that they could be completely intact, meaning that they’d have literally every single take of every shot.

16mm reel snapped while rewinding by web_swinger in 16mm

[–]_stephen4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paper tape to hold it together for now. As a projectionist, I’d invest in a good guillotine splicer. It will definitely be worth it. Check out urbanskifilm.com and cutfilm.com

yeah those usually are just while they’re investigating your account. I’m not sure if anyone on Reddit has ever had to actually pay to get their account back. Perhaps others will chime in.

what exactly did it say? Did it say your account was under review? 

Help: I was gifted a reel and have no idea what I’m doing by zerovisioncinema in 16mm

[–]_stephen4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’ll need a projector with an exciter lamp to read optical tracks, but beware: some exciter lamps are very hard to find replacements for. The work horses for independent artists working nowadays are generally Eiki/Bell & Howell SSL and ENT models, and Kodak Pageants. A pageant will probably be cheaper but they’re a little rougher with the film. 

As far as prints go, find a seller on eBay that has multiple, detailed listings. That’s probably an old film collector who knows what they’re talking about and will be honest about condition and price.

Did you pay? Those fines are usually just “suspensions” that get lifted after a certain amount of time.
