Looking for darkroom in LA area for graduate student film
Hi all,
Looking for a small darkroom, the likes a professional photographer might set up for himself in his house, to shoot a USC student film in. Would need it for several hours over one weekend in the next few weeks, for a crew of about five or six people. No developing will be carried out, we just need to dress the room with additional negatives and black and white prints. If you think you have something of the likes, and would be amenable to us shooting there, please drop us a line at . Craft services, excited young artist to hang out with, and our deepest of gratitudes promised in return. Many thanks in advance. Aner |

Go to the Photo District News website and look up rental darkrooms on their
Photosource site. You should be able to find all shapes and sizes to pick from but you will have to pay the rental. "per_of_vision" wrote in message oups.com...

Food 'always good' Food == nutrients Nothing is always good. Half of everything is below average. One in ten of everything is in the bottom 10% and an abject failure. If nothing is bad then nothing can be good. It is both good and bad that this is so. Thanks! That's a sarcastic remark, I know it is a sarcastic remark, it has to be a sarcastic remark, I just can't figure it out. -- Nicholas O.

A professional photographer will not have a darkroom in his house, he will have a darkroom at his place of business (which admittedly may be his house, but that is only because he can't afford better). You may want to fake your darkroom. Rarely, if ever, does the darkroom in a film look anything like a real darkroom. The average film viewer, thus miss-educated by the film industry, if confronted with a real darkroom will not know what it is. Set out some white butchers' trays on a folding table. String a clothes line above the trays and hang dripping sheets of paper from the line using clothes pins. For extra realism place a small spot light on a stand in the background. Dress the photog in a dark apron. Put some #25 gels on the lights. That will be $1,243.87 plus a percentage of the box office for set design consultation. PS: If you use a real darkroom you will find: Trays go in a special long sink on duckboard, you won't see them from any camera angle that includes the actor. Prints are dried in a separate room, they certainly don't drip into the developing chemicals. Darkrooms are not lit with red lights, if lights are used they are yellow- orange, and you can't see much except for the trays because the lighting is very gloomy. Never will light fall on the actors face. Home darkrooms are, say, 6x6": you won't get a camera position without taking down a wall or two. And doesn't USC have a darkroom on campus???? -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.

Not only that but there's no place for extra lights or a camera/cameraman.
