Did old Edison claim he invented it? He was the worst patent troll in history.

Interesting!

This doesn't mean it will be released to the public immediately. I have been waiting for under a Texas moon, Viennese nights, follow-thru, his glorious night, and the mysterious Island 1929 restored version.

In Focus: Film Preservation Services 1613PM 1613PM amazing tech to preserve original films - the replicated footage usually being used to render the footage to a far more tolerable degree. restoration, i think they call it. did you guys show a restored version of the nigh on effed up peacock movie - as i missed that gem if you have? all very good and well but most of this is lost on the general public who will find such musings totally boring.

1 Must see Movie 🎬 *** Night John * a Turner Classic movie...( Slave girl learns to read.)😮 Please 🙏 save this movie 🎬 🎞 🎥

Steve Sasson gets the credit for inventing the digital camera but I love the way he gives credit for the employees of Kodak for helping him out for different problems he encountered. He is humble man because he gives the acknowledges that there a number of workers from Kodak who helped out to invent the first digital camera.

I was fortunate to see one of the original Technicolor cameras many years ago at ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood.

how does this work with a slanted window?

1860-1890 3D AND THE TISSUE STEREOVIEW The visual effects of the French Tissue Stereoview presaged many techniques of both pre and post cinema. These special Stereoview cards featured hidden magic transformations taking us closer to 3D cinema. The Tissue Stereoview was made in Paris from c. 1860 on. Propriete Paris BK was the biggest producer, operated by Adolphe Block (1829-1915). The 3.5 x 1/2 x 7-inch cards had a die-cut open back and a stereo photograph of ornate tableaus. Propriete Paris BK released sets of six or twelve tissue stereoview cards in a succession named Le Theatres de Paris. Stories like Faust, Cinderella, and William Tell became favourites of these theatrical stereoview tissues. In addition to popular topics, special effects came into play such as the dissolve that foretold Truffaut’s day-for-night technique. With front-light the BW scene was magically transformed to colour when held up to backlight. Cinema FX in 1860. Backlighting transformed these tiny holes into brilliant diamonds, stars, a pearl necklace or even illuminating eyes. At times, the delicate paper was embossed, resulting in a soft lighter feel. Colour photography did not exist at the time these were created; colour could only be acquired by hand. The production of these French Tissue Stereoviews began in other nations, particularly England, not long after the French introduced them. Tissue Stereoviews were called "illuminated" or "panoptical" views in France. B. K. Paris, Adolphe Block's studio, printed photographs, including stereoviews, from 1863 to 1915.

I love this video. Does anyone have a list of what films were shown on it? My Google-fu isn't helping much. I know The Hat Trick was one of the earliest, but is there a list somewhere? Or does anyone have some education they share with me? (writing a book, and need some research help) Thanks!

Ok… but I gotta move to some castle high in the alps or to outer space so I have cool camera obscura room decorations.. Though.. I guess at that point i could just take down the trash bags and open the window. 🪟

Amazing person amazing photography

It took four minutes to say "America did everything." Just can't sweep Dageurre under the rug.

Does the emulsion need to remain wet or is this a dry plate process?

The Million Dollar Question is: Did Vermeer use one.... ??

I learned photography as a teenager on a 35mm folder, 2.8 Tessar, Synchro-Compur. Five decades later, I own a historic Robra Rodenstock 645 folder with a Trinar lens and a primo condition Kodak Six-16 Vigilant 6x11 format folder, which I converted to shoot 120 film. The Robra was purchased by a Japanese company, Zuiko, and copied down to the last screw. It became the Semi-Olympus 1 camera featuring a Zuiko lens. They were all made by hand and are very rare, but they copied the Robra for the first Olympus camera.

Thank for the actual visual demonstration. Fascinating.

The history of the competition

Love the creative idea of this, and tried several times, but cannot get the ethereal results.

bro.... bromin.... bromide... that is why the use it on the optical lenses on military tanks! it's of the family halo~!

I can feel the sound in my chest! Wonderful, thanks!

i created my own type called The Metallotype so you take Potassium Ferrocyanide and Ferric Ammonium Citrate and out it on metal like tin or aluminium then let it dry and out it in a camera obscura

What railroad was that train from in the video? It’s a 4-4-0 American type

So amazing

so what's the ammonium chloride for?

alwaya appreciate when institution record talks thank you

Would love to see a slower version of the emulsion making, narrating the step by step procedure with the amounts.

im not into photography but this rlly helped for my art project!! thank you for the great video :]

Oh wow! This is right up my alley! I live for this kind of stuff. I used to experiment with Berg color toners. Those chemicals (dyes) are no longer active 😢

Love the movie! All time best.

@2:27 A reel from Selznick masterpiece "A Star Is Born" (1937) which has been magnificently restored and is on bluray.

What did you use to finish it off the photograph please ? beeswax and what else , I cant make out what was mentioned ? Thank you in advance

How long is the exposure time with f4.5?

I think it would be nice if you add video captions to this series.

I was looking for pictures in my late grandfather's house I came across his picture he got with my grandfather didn't know he was a well known man. ❤

Are all the scratches a result of this kind of development process? If so, do you think there's any way to negate this. Seems like I'd be ruining perfectly good film.

wow this looks amazing!

neat!

The sad part is, Avedon had less to do with these images than the framer, but gets all the credit. He didn't find the people, didn't set the light or reflectors, didn't develop the film, didn't print the images. He squeezed the button after everything else was done for him, any photographer can do that.

Amazing!!

This was complete shit. You have to tell us what we see to see it.

and today we have Kubrick wannabes colourizing black and white films with shit results

Nick. You have some serious monotone aka robot voice.. please take some vocal coaching.. hard to listen to. Thanks for the video.

Well done; a quick capsule with condensed and pertinent information.

I think I experienced a similar natural phenomenon to this. I was about 14, sitting in my bedroom one winter day when I noticed 2 mini crisp shadows walking across my wall. They were so crisp and clear that I could see strands of hair and the clothes wrinkle as they walked. It remind me of those old school projectors we had in school. I figure it was due to the sun casting thier shadows onto the snow covered ground and then reflecting into my bedroom window. But never understood how they appeared so sharp and clear. This makes it make sense now

Learned something new today!

today wee will learn how to make a plumbus

old films are the best, i don't watch new ones

I'd like to add though that the use of Eastmancolor film in the cameras was a feature of only live-action Technirama movies, as it wasn't necessary when making an animated movie in Technirama. You see, starting in the late '30s, animated movies made in Technicolor Process 4, while continuing to use the same overall function as before and as in live-action Technicolor Process 4 movies, began being made using the successive exposure technique, instead of 3 strips of black-and-white film and a beam-splitting prism. Taking advantage of the fact that animation is done using still photography, each frame (or arrangement of drawings) of the animated movie would be photographed 3 times (first behind a red filter, then a green one, and then a blue one). The reason for the rebuilding of the live-action Technicolor movie cameras and the switch to Eastmancolor film was that it wasn't physically feasible to have a camera that ran 3 strips of film all horizontally. With animated Technicolor movies not requiring 3 separate strips, the successive exposure cameras were simply either rebuilt to run a single strip horizontally or physically repositioned above the drawings to create a horizontal effect. Sleeping Beauty (1957, the first ever movie in Super Technirama 70) was made with a successive exposure camera, as evidenced here: archive.thedigitalbits.com/articles/robertharris/harris101308.html

What in the hell was this? A thumb-nail sketch of Technicolor enviously made by Eastman without any offer for an in-depth version, Eastman or not? I Will say the final sentence speaks well for the inexplicable <5 minute production- After (joyously?) proclaiming that the Technicolor process has been dismantled and disbursed, and is for practical purposes, "Extinct", the narrator signs off this strange production with, "To truly understand and appreciate the beauty of this process, you have to experience it in person". Well okay, giving this over to imprecise script writing enough to say they were referring to WATCHING a Technicolor film being played from the actual film, it's glaringly obvious we're not going to "truly understand and appreciate" -anything- with the machinery blown to bits and less than 5 minute productions about it.
