OUTLINE Kodak's idea behind Super 8 was to make things as simple as possible for users. Which was the case. Choice of equipment was very simple: silent or sound camera; silent or sound film stock; silent or sound editor; silent or sound projector. To make a film with direct sound: you acquired all with sound facility. But you could add sound afterwards on silent film stock with a sound

THE OLD TOASTER AND THE COMPUTERYour old toaster is always plugged it, on standby, not consuming anything, ready for your decision. It does not need to check its processor, its memory, its connection, its wifi, nothing at all in fact.It can multitask too: put two slices at a time and it goes into action. A minute or so later, pop two nice brown slices, ready for your pleasure.Butter and marmalade

In spring 2008, Polaroid ceased production of cameras and films. What a shame it would be to loose a truly iconic brand: you take a Polaroid! (not an "instant"). It occupied a truly unique niche, for amateurs, artists, professionals, casting agencies, police, builders, the list is endless! It would be a service to the photographic culture to keep it alive, giving a real choice instead

Invented by Philips and Sony in the 1980s, the Compact Disc became a success quite quickly, mainly due to the fact that the music industry killed the production of vinyl LPs and singles almost overnight to make place to the new format. The public had no choice, even if many music purists preferred the old format which had a richer, smoother, more rounded sound. What's wrong with the CD?Nothing

In an article in the Daily Mail, May 8th, 2007, "Lo-Fidelity", the author laments the planned demise of the audio cassette. As he has kept many recordings of unique interviews he did in the past, what can he do to safeguard that legacy? Cassette are dead indeed, and what can be done with these interviews that he kept?

Computers Sometimes we take our humble PCs to its outer limits and we ask too much of them. We tend to use them, even abuse them. We expect our machine to be a typewriter, a corrector, a calculator and a publishing unit. Sometimes, we transform it into a photo lab, complete with image processing, developing and printing facility.   Not only that, but it is also a telephony installation, a

About Jacques Tati A tribute to the French film makerJacques Tati (October 9, 1907 – November 5, 1982) through the character of Mr Hulot, that he created and played in 3 films: namely “Les Vacances de Mr. Hulot”, Mon Oncle”, “Playtime”. Jacques Tati directed the films and played the main part, in his case, the long tall Mr. Hulot, with his pipe, his hat, his umbrella and his gauche attitude. Mr.

Cinema is the generic word for films, movies, motion pictures, whatever Anglo-Americans call it, but for the rest of us, it is cinema. Invented by the Freres Lumiere a century ago, cinema remains one of the most powerful form of expression, communication and entertainment. The French consider it as an art, calling it "Le Septieme Art" . When I was a child in the Ardennes, my little village did

Like puppets on a string, people today cannot function without being connected to an electronic gizmo.   Rushing around You see them rushing around with a mobile phone stuck to their ears, talking into space. You see them running to some meeting, cables from earpieces down into the pocket, a sure sign of an iPod in action. You see them tapping in their PDAs, checking addresses, appointments,

OUTLINE Use of 16mm films. Because 16mm film projectors were easy to come buy, universal, and not very expensive, they became very popular in many walks of life. All 16mm films, except amateur efforts and home movies, all had the same optical track system. It was truly a universal format. Reports and documentaries for TV through telecinema Cine-clubs: films relevant to the history of cinema. Ex:

The golden age The best time for photography in my lifetime was probably sometimes in the 60s for a few simple reasons. there was a good choice of 35mm cameras, digital and compact, from various countries and makes. they operated without batteries, which meant they were always ready to shoot; medium format (6x6cm, etc.) was quite popular too; more bulky but gave better quality; there was a

Our memories are made of radio, records, discs, cassettes, photos, TV, films, video, movies. They are simply our past, present and future. Sometimes they are called media, audio-visual media, multimedia or analog or digital technologies. And for a while now, they have turned digital. But is going digital the solution to everything?

Analogue Analogue days seemed to have more focus, a more logical structure in the thought process. Each provider offered one specialized service; each worker would concentrate on one job properly, each gadget performed one task well and was made to last. Now that we all have gone digital, it seems that wasting has become a major problem:wasting time to get things setup, to get them working;

By the very nature of its technology, TV has never been able to produce sharp images. Flying spots on 3 coloured spots will never be sharp. Or whatever new technique is involved. Compared to film, TV looks positively primitive, which does not matter because nobody cares. TV has missed a brilliant chance to improve itself once and for all by working very hard on improving its 2 weaknesses:

AGITATION is not ACTIVITY is not ACHIEVEMENT. PRODUCTIVITY requires EFFICIENCY : As few resources as possible for as much production as possible.

Instructions Radio is the easiest form of mass media, certainly for the listener. buy a radio set, find your favourite station frequency, leave it there, flick the on-off switch: that is all! Until now Some of us remember the old radio sets with a magic eye that told you when tuning was optimum. Nice and easy. Then came the portable sets with valves, still quite bulky but with

With this standard model, I use the headphone output to transfer recordings to my computer in real time., because there is no USB port to upload to PCs for copyright reasons.
