I need to buy a hat.

It is one of the best instructional movies. Always a joy to watch it again.

 

[Eric Rose]

I love hats!

I wonder what the interview process was to become a detective in the '40's.

They talked a lot about putting a wax and solvent mixture on the film's emulsion side to protect it. Is that something anyone does with still film?

I think Connie (the virgin) Swail was involved.

Cine film is projected under quite different circumstances than still film.
With cine film "waxing" is still employed by some, for cleaning and lubrication.

Cine film cleaners like FilmRenew and Fimguard have wax in them. That and a light coat of beeswax in the film gate will make your films run nice and smooth.

Excuse me

Thanks for sharing this video CMoore, first time I see it. I like it very much, funny, curious and educational.

After all this precautions and cleaning-up explained and after all this years, even the whole film is in a pretty good shape, but not even clean at all as you can see, I’m afraid that’s impossible (Note: There is a jump on the 18:48 timeline, funny it happens after the Projectionist explain about it … 18:11)

Anyway, the “Murdered film”, well I think it is very original and visible, no need a strong stomach to take a look.

And one last thing I don’t hurt film, I always treat it right, I’m innocent. I think the man with the hat did, he is smoking!

You wax only the edges by rubbing little of a wax-solvent mixture on the flanks of a flat wound roll. Usually Carnauba wax and paraffine is in. In American motion-picture projectors the film traditionally runs on steel guides while in Europe velvet pads and resin-fiber composite pressure rails are used. These do not make waxing necessary.

I was expecting to see a bunch of crows...

 

[AgX]

Crow as in crowbar?

 

[Vaughn]

I belong to a local drinking club/doers of good deeds. We are the Mad River Old Crows. We have a murder every Tuesday at 6pm.
