DVD Infinity have the highest quality Standard 8mm, Super 8mm, Single 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm film to DVD, miniDV and AVCHD (Hi definition) transfers on the planet. We service customers all around the world (with customers in over 40 countries) who desire the best quality from films that date back to the 1920s. Our revolutionary proprietary processing and individual frame by frame scanning provide unparalleled detail, clarity, contrast, sharpness and brightness. Our transfers are completely flicker free, have no hot spots, streaks, motion blur, ghosting, wobble or uneven distribution. We carefully remove any blank, black, white or burnt frames as well as anywhere there is so much camera shake or the film is so badly faded that you cannot make out what is going on. Also because we scan your film rather than use a projector (or projector based system such as direct film to dvd, telecine chain or aerial telecine, etc), your film is not subject to the damaging effects of tension or hot lamps. The quality of our transfers far exceeds anything else available and is much higher than most newsreels were transferred for television. In addition to scanning film, we offer film sales and processing for colour and black and white reversal films for Standard 8 and Super 8. We also offer a full range of accessories for Standard 8, Super 8, 9.5mm and 16mm film. * Leader Film * Film Splices * Film Cement * Film Reels You may like to add DVD Infinity to your lists of suppliers.

You’re pretty close to the size of Guy’s mirror – it’s 60cm by 800cm. I’m impressed. Look forward to seeing ‘(wo)man with mirror’ in the not too distant future.

Conditions were full sun and light breeze. There is a 'lump' of shade southwest of the clothes line and then shade in a line along under the trees. The shade is quite dappled. The clothesline also has possibilities for creating dappled shade at that time of the day. If you are at home today, can you check out how the sun goes later in the avo. I think we'll find the shade gets too dense, not enough dapple. LC The shadow/sun dynamic seemed quite good at about 1pm yesterday. Conditions were full sun and light breeze.

Satisfying I think because we're looking for ways in which the work has to intrinsically adapt while we're trying to be as truthful as we can to Guy's work. Another good discussion yesterday was about where to film. We have always discussed the garden in Petersham as the site. We talked about Guy filming his on Hampstead Heath and that Sydney Park could serve a similar purpose for us. However, we imagine Guy would have had to film somewhere other than home as his house would have had little to no backyard. We on the other hand have the backyard. We also discussed how important the tree shadow is and that the Petersham garden can provide this. We tried out a few orientations yesterday thinking about the blur that Guy creates with his swinging mirror and discussing if Petersham provides too much visual information. There was quite a lot of discussion about the Hills Hoist, we seemed to like it featuring in the reflections. In the end, we think we can work it out so that the light's suitably dappled and it's not so cluttered visually that it becomes illegible.

Guy's original screen/mirror size is 32 by 24 inches. the ratio of width to height of the mirror/screen is 4:3, the same ratio as a super 8 film frame. since I am roughly the same height as Guy, the 32 by 24 size presents no problems for mirror handling twisting turning and manipulation. Louise, being smaller than me, having shorter arms, was finding it difficult to wrangle the mirror. We decided we would get her mirror cut down proportionately to her artspan. Thus: -original mirror is 32X24 inches (=61X81.3cm) -my armspan is 188cm (same as my height) -louise's armspan is 163cm (same as her height) -thus following ratio of armspan to size of mirror, louise's mirror needs to be cut down to 70X52.5cm great sketches louise!

you write
“how we should re-size one of the mirrors so it’s relative to my body height.”

All very interesting when one considers the direction Titmarsh took in his work. Hey Lucas, I also had no idea that Mark Titmarsh studied with Malcolm.
