I'm wanting to hold out and save my $$$ for the new Ektachrome but deals on properly stored old Ektachrome keep popping up damnit.
Most cinema students won’t be able to invest in 35mm film (cameras, the actual film, processing, etc.) to learn how to shoot with it. Super-8 is much cheaper for that..
"Pick a story, here is ONE roll of super 8 and an auto exposure camera - you have x days to shoot your story - hand in your film an Day Y and it will be processed and screened in the following weeks classes. Note that you will not see the film before hand, and so you have to do all your editing in Camera. No splicing allowed"
I was in a bathroom fixture sales showroom last year where they had examples of the latest hi-technology toilets. They sense your presence, open automatically, flush automatically after use and close as you leave.Oh, but don't you want every device in your house connected to the internet? What did we ever do before smart toilets and smart garbage cans and smart kitchen towels?
Ever see a Japanese toilet? Looks like something NASA would build.Oh, but don't you want every device in your house connected to the internet? What did we ever do before smart toilets and smart garbage cans and smart kitchen towels?
But what's about the digital video camera? Can you start and stop them and keep them as a continuously long file? Like video tape?I have heard from several sources that a classic first year assignment was "Pick a story, here is ONE roll of super 8 and an auto exposure camera - you have x days to shoot your story - hand in your film an Day Y and it will be processed and screened in the following weeks classes. Note that you will not see the film before hand, and so you have to do all your editing in Camera. No splicing allowed"
The purpose of that sort of assignment is to get folks to think of "the Story" rather then the technical details. Hard to do with a digital camera as shots needed to be edited together which misses the point.

I wonder how families with curious dogs feel about them?

There is a new program on TV this coming fall. I think it is called "Shame of Thrones". It is a history of bad toilet design. I've actually seen an ad for it but may have the name wrong. It is a play on "Game of Thrones" though.

This is from 1964, 54 years ago. Color is still excellent. Waiting for that Ektachrome and hoping Kodak survives.

Peter Greenaway made a short documentary about bathrooms called “26 Bathrooms”. It’s very typical Greenaway.

During the Minoan period, 2500 BCE, the Knossos palace had two water systems, one for consumption and one for sewage, and flushing toilets. After their fall it took until the 19th century for people to figure those out!
It took John Crapper until the 19th century to invent a flushing toilet again.
In case you are serious, it was his name that the slang term came from,He must have made a lot of crap to deserve that name!
