    FS (eBay): Graflex RB 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" Series B Camera w/ Original Box

    Relisted! Due to a glitch in the shipping info, the auction was telling people that shippiing would be over $100, which is insane! This scared a lot of interested people off, so I've fixed the problem and relisted the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150459271908...

    FS (eBay): Graflex RB 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" Series B Camera w/ Original Box

    This camera belonged to my late grandfather, and it looks as though he used it once or twice, put it back in the box, put it on a shelf and never touched it again. This model was manufactured by Graflex from 1923 to 1951, and from the serial number (443514) I believe that this particular camera...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Mad Men!!! I am totally loving "Mad Men". Every episode just keeps getting darker than the one before. The social conventions of the time, especially the attitudes towards women and minorities, are so alien from a contemporary viewpoint that it might as well be science fiction. Everyone is...

    16 inch waist

    In her spooky gothic youth as a professional corset maker, my wife was trained down to 16" as well. She's got a very small frame and long waist anyway, and yes, the moment she stopped wearing corsets on a regular basis, her body shape returned to "normal". (I still think she's gorgeous!)

    The "Behind The Scenes" Thread

    I'm interested in hearing what else you guys like to see in "Making of" materials. As I get close to finishing my film, I'm starting to think about what to include in the "Special Features" section. As it stands right now, I'm planning on making a short featurette about the design and building...

    The Good German

    Behind the curve, as usual... I finally saw "The Good German", and have to concur with the general consensus here. As a production designer, I loved everything about the staging of the film. The costumes, the sets, the black and white treatment and the overall sense of place and time were...

    Anyone here have a Mail Ordered Bride?

    "Here Come The Brides" was loosely based on the movie "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", so in a way, you are both right. :offtopic: In a total aside, the early 80's, Scott Miller and his band "Game Theory" recorded a cover version of "Seattle", turning the bouncing and brash theme into a...

    Involved With Film/Television Industry

    Hola! I'm a filmmaker too. I'm in the last stages of production on my noir mystery "The Smiling Man". I've been posting here for a while, but I wish I'd found this place when I was in the pre-production phase! I've posted it in the "Moving Pictures" section too, but here is the first trailer...

    The Smiling Man

    What have you got against Citroens? ;) Thanks for all the kind words, folks. The flick is still a work in progress, so nit picking is perfectly appropriate. I'm hoping to be done with principal photography by the end of February, then a short polish cycle in post. I'll be announcing the...

    E-bay is retarded

    There should be an apostrophe, most people just put it in the wrong place. You should say that you are interested in the '40s.

    Vintage Police Uniforms

    Oh, absolutely. And if I had what it took to reproduce those papers in nice bright newsprint, I certainly would have. Besides, it won't be much of an issue in the black and white version! Beej

    The Dark Side to Vintage...have you 'that' urge for a Gothic look..?

    Griffer, I know your pain. I was a Hawaiian goth for a while. I'd spend an hour crimping and teasing my hair into an enormous mane, only to have it collapse instantly the moment I stepped outside! lol Beej

    Vintage Police Uniforms

    Heh. Lucky for all concerned, my Hitchcockian turn as the beat cop is in a montage sequence with no audio except some music. The audience can imagine me with any accent they want! lol Beej
