Bulletin: Kodak is changing the chemistry for the Black and White REVERSAL Super 8 filmstocks, so please use the old stocks you have soon.
Here's a welcome to new members:
Welcome and thank you for signing up at LittleFilm.org. I hope you took your password, went back to the site and changed it to something handy. I am building the site and dreaming of ways to use the fantastic software that skyBuilders.com has given us to create a vibrant 8mm film community.
I need any ideas you have, thoughts or comments, and any computer savvy helpers. Since you are part of the earliest group signing in, you have a great opportunity to shape what happens. Please email me or better yet, go to the website and use the SUNSCRIBE function you will see on some pages after logging in. Or use COMMENTS: READ/ADD place at the bottom of any page to post ideas we all can see.
Ideas circulating in my head right now?
1) advocacy updates (e.g. oh dear, we need to lobby Kodak again in support of Kodachrome 25 (double 8mm and 16mm) (K-40 S8 movies are doing fine)
2) news updates by email and posting on the site
3) a bibliography of books and articles in an ever-expanding, update-able on-line database
4) a services/lab list in an ever expanding, update-able on-line database 5) a filmmakers/film database and how to see them. any ideas for the details in the Forms for the above? Do you hate forms? Would you like to see the range of small gauge films?
6) interest groups-- any suggestions? sharing by gauge? by genre? by techniques? geography? other?
7) tech tips and more tech tips (questions?)
8) FAQ section, endless
9) events listings using skyBuilders.com’s nifty timeLines/Events features. The first big event we hope to show, with clickable details about, and upload daily reports on is the AMIA (Assoc. of Moving Image Archivists) conference in November 2001 which had a hefty Small Gauge Film thread running through it.
10. How about a weekly joke, trivia or quiz about 8mm film history. Like who was Speedy Loader? Who were Mannes and Godowsky?
Ambitious? yes? I see the need and the incredible capabilities that Community Computing and SkyBuilders webWare offers. It is energizing. Your feedback is welcome.
Thanks for your interest. Toni T LittleFilm.org
