Baldwin Lee: Looking is Harder Than It Looks
A first-generation Chinese American, Baldwin Lee is a photographer and educator known for his photographs of Black communities in the American South. Lee received a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1972) where he studied photography with Minor White, and went on to receive an master's of fine arts from Yale University (1975) where he studied with Walker Evans. In 1982, he became an art professor at the University of Tennessee, where he founded the university's photography program. He then decided to take a tour of the deep south, covering 2,000 miles over the course of ten days. During this trip, Lee widely photographed the people, landscapes, and cities o...

    I just recently bought Deanna Durbin's only Technicolor picture called "Can't Help Singing." It's stunningly beautiful - and the first scene of Deanna singing while driving a carriage will take your breath away. How sad Technicolor abandoned this superior process. I hope filmmakers realize what they've lost.

    That's pretty creative, using tinted film stock itself as the color filter for the 3rd color. I wonder if that made that 3rd color slightly blurry, being it's slightly further away from the focal point, and because the light has to pass through the first film layer.

    Obviously there were no three strip projectors. The black-and-white camera negatives were used to make what were called "imbibition matrices" which could be made to absorb differing amounts of the complementary colors (cyan, yellow, and magenta). These matrices were soaked in the proper color and then used to make the positive print by adding, one on top of the other, the cyan, yellow, and magenta. (Much like your newspaper prints a color photograph today--three colors added on top of each other to make the final full-color copy).

    I am curious about the unclusion of Star Wars in the examples. While I do already know that ILM used VistaVision Cameras for composited shots. I have always been intrigued about if they used the Technirama anamorphic process or if they stayed with the spherical VistaVision. According to what I have recently seen in released restoration footage online and a couple of old behind the scenes features, it does very much look like they opted to use the non Anamorphic process in camera. So I am a bit confused by Star Wars being here in the Technirama presentation. But, as the anamorphic bit was just an adaptor on the end of the lens system, most of the camera was a VistaVision camera. I guess ILM bought a bunch of decommissioned Technirama cameras and opted to not use the anamorphic adaptor. Mainly to keep the image as distortion neutral as possible on the negative.

    In my collection I have many cameras, projectors of all descriptions, including a Vinten 35mm Normandy camera (still works) and a curious prototype vertical 35mm movie camera that seems to be from the late 1800s - made of wood with a pull down mechanism I've not seen in anything else. How can I submit some photos for your evaluation and possibly I can donate to the museum?

    Great to see a real projector - a technical marvel that remained virtually unchanged in its operation for over 120 years! The fundamental difference between a film projector and a digital projector is a film projector depends on the interaction of a human, the projectionist, they depend on each other in a symbiotic technical and aesthetic operation. The Digital projector sits there in its black box and shuns physical engagement with a human projectionist throughout the screening.

    20th C Fox had a beautiful 35mm print of Stormy Weather which I screened many times over 15 years ago. Unfortunately don't think it would exist now. The poster is a great example of artwork and litho printing from that era. Seems poster appreciation and values have dropped substantially recently due to those who even know or appreciate the film and the artistic merit of this poster art form are dwindling.

    Played this back at .25 speed and it was still a bit fast to take in all the actions. Putting a vintage fragile poster in a tray of water would be the last thing I'd think was a good idea - but this video proved otherwise.

    Thank you so much for hosting and providing this very interesting presentation. I have a story to relate, which may be of interest to you and members of your foundation. Around 1973-74, I was employed by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. One of my duties had to do with presenting various exhibitions, musical recitals and other arts events in our beautiful “Little Theater”, also known as the Florence Gould Theater, part of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor. During the fall of either 1973 or 1974, the Fine Arts Museums put together a very special event, centered around an exclusive showing of original 35 mm nitrate films on loan from Mary Pickford, who was still alive at that time. These were her own personal prints and of course, the entire series consisted of the projection of these remarkable prints of many of her classic films. Here’s the most interesting part! For the occasion, two arc-lamp projectors were installed in the small projection booth above the theater. The entire building was originally erected in 1924. The projectionist(s) placed fire extinguishers around the machinery, but one of the museum officials also instructed the staff to watch out for the chance that a fire Marshall might show up and not to let such a person enter the booth! Fortunately, no fire Marshall ever turned up! This was the only time during which I ever experienced what a nitrate film looked like. The incredible “velvety” look of nitrate film was simply unreal! It seemed almost to have an unusual three-dimensional quality to it. For that unique series, the Fine Arts Museums had also hired an organist, who accompanied the films with live music, played on a compact Wurlitzer organ. On opening night, a Rolls Royce pulled up and out of it came an elderly lady, accompanied by two men. I was standing in the reception area when she was escorted into the building. She quickly informed everyone within that area that she was the child actress in that evening’s offering. Unbelievable! What was even more interesting was that also appearing that evening was the silent film actor, Buddy Rogers, who was then still married to Mary Pickford. The older society ladies were literally swooning around the man. Mary Pickford was too ill to attend. What a great event! I hope you enjoyed my personal story!
