Johnson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 809 From: Cleveland, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-16-2003 12:34 PM                        New and Exciting Film Technologies DATE: Monday, 31 March 2003 NOTE DATE!!!! LOCATION: Alliance Française 55 East 59th Street (Madison-Park) Enter @ Florence Gould Hall Boxoffice SUBWAY: 4/5/6/F/N/R/W to 59th Street TIME: 5:00 PM Refreshments and social hour Sponsored by Fujifilm and Kodak 6:00 PM Technical presentation ~ PROGRAM ~ Presenters: Fuji Reala 500D: Mac Jibiki, Fujifilm Fuji Reala 500D has been developed utilizing " fourth color technology" to further expand the choice of locations for film shooting. Kodak 5218 500T Color Negative Film: David Long, Eastman Kodak With the design of Vision2 500T Color Negative Film, Kodak has introduced film technology optimized for both the traditional optical and digital post-production worlds. While resolution and grain improvements comprise a big part of the advancements offered by this new technology, film sensitometry and color reproduction have also been carefully engineered to facilitate improvements in neutral scale control and digital post-production productivity. And all of this is made possible by silver halide technologies that significantly reduce grain and film-building technologies that shape a new standard of photographic performance in a world of hybrid applications. TEST MATERIALS: Ed Schuller, NY Section SMPTE Test Material Advisor But wait, there's more!!! Ed Schuller, our acclaimed Test Materials Advisor, will be displaying 3 standard leaders and will explain the difference between them. Says Ed, "I will announce the new 35mm Theatrical Projection Leader, recently issued by the SMPTE Headquarters Test Materials Department. I will also show the original Academy leader and the SMPTE 35mm Universal Leader. I plan to briefly talk about the origins of the Academy leader, the reason for developing the SMPTE Universal Leader and the reason for developing the new Theatrical Leader."

We respect each other as professionals and competitors. In 1991, Fuji helped host the ISO/TC36 motion picture standards plenary in Japan. The USA, including Kodak, hosted ISO/TC36 in Los Angeles in 1994. In 1997, Agfa graciously hosted ISO/TC36 at their factory in Mortsel Belgium. In 2000, Kodak hosted ISO/TC36 at our plant in Chalon-sur-Saone France. Developing industry standards is a cooperative venture, and competitors can be friends and work together for the good of the motion-picture industry.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-17-2003 04:38 PM                       quote: We respect each other as professionals and competitors.

I'm glad to see that we have some common ground.... I love sushi! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Gerard S. Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 03-29-2003 09:35 PM                     Yes Phil, I love sushi, but so does my daughter, and when my wife bought several trays full, my daughter ate 58 pieces in a day and a half, not leaving me one! But most all the packaged Sushi we get in Korean groceries and specialty shops is the California type, inside-out, with the nori inside and sticky rice with a sprinkling of sesame seeds outside. The artificial crabmeat is pre-cooked so it lasts a day or two, but for real sushi you have to go to one of the many fine Japanese restaurants in New York, like Nobu, or the many more affordable ones. [Paul Mayer's a real crabmeat maven ] I used to make my own when I returned from Japan. Never forgot my mother's reaction when I brought home a huge yellow daikon that really "perfumed" the house.
