There is no detailed study involved here -- a passing glance is enough for anyone familiar with typographical conventions. Other than that, they are entitled to use incorrect and incongruous typography if they choose. They pay for the ads. I just think they should have been more polite in their response.

I acquired one with a Bolex 16mm cam with the stereo lens attached a few years ago for $50 and I'm trying to appraise it. Any feedback is appreciated. have you any idea what a unit like this is worth?

Kodak makes a color reversal film called 100D: http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Production/Color_Reversal_Films/5285/tech5285.htm Kodak just started offering it in 100' loads that your Bolex will take: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/uploadedFiles/QA_MotionPictureCatalog_March9_2009.pdf I like to buy direct from Kodak (they have a 800 number) because you receive fresh film. But you can probably find film other places. I have shot some 100D and I like it (liked kodachrome better). I have seen 16mm 3D film shot with your equipment (well, not *yours*, but the Bolex set up). The 3D effect is outstanding. The film I saw was shot in the late 1950s or early 1960s and was shot using Kodachrome II. The 3D effect was awesome!!!!! Head to your local Goodwill store and find a screen. You will see white ones, and silver (or kinda gray ones). That is the one you want. But worse case, you can project your film on a white wall. Keep checking the goodwill and you will find a screen. The best 3D effect is with the proper screen, but you will be able to see 3D with a normal white screen (but not as pronounced). I have many 16mm projectors. I will sell you one if you want, but shipping is costly. Keep checking the Goodwill for a projector. I can help you find a lamp for just about any projector you buy., Many of the lenses are standard sizes. Probably, any 'ol 16mm projector will do. When you do find a projector, head to the store and buy some Lemon Pledge furniture polish. Then take a old cotton T Shirt or some old cotton underwear and spray the cloth (not the projector), then open up the gate and wipe down the entire film path. You will probably find some rollers with a screw in the center. Unscrew them, remove them, clean them, then rub some pledge on them. Every guide, every place the film goes. Remember, every time you project your film you will scratch it. Back in the day, Kodak said you had about 200 projections before the film would be scratched up beyond repair. So don't just keep running your film for no reason at all. If you are new to 16mm movie film you might like this free pdf book from Kodak: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/uploadedFiles/H2_Field%20Guide_9-22-08.pdf Feel free to drop me some email if you have movie film related questions. Enjoy your equipment. jack And like every other person posting here Hi…..

The Bolex Stereo kit uses the older linear-polarized glasses whereas RealD uses newer circular-polarized glasses. However, linear-polarized glasses are widely available online. A Google search for "3D glasses" will return many links like this one: http://www.3dglassesdirect.com/polarized_3d_glasses.html The 3D glasses from Coraline are for the RealD system and will not work.

As someone who shoots video content often deliberately for web and as someone who is next door neighbors with the actress in LonelyGirl15, which followed a similar approach, I found this to be an excellent piece to sum up the whole experiment. Great work and great posts. Just discovered you from coming across your IMDb Theaters post.

I put a little dynamic range compression on it in FCP. The important thing of course is having a deep voice, and sticking the mic right next to my mouth.
