Steenbeck Film Editing

 

Steenbeck is a brand name that has become synonymous with a type of flatbed film editing suite which is usable with both 16 mm and 35 mm optical sound and magnetic sound film.

The Steenbeck company was founded in 1931 by Wilhelm Steenbeck in Hamburg, Germany. Since then, the name Steenbeck has become widely known in the film editing community and more than 25,000 machines are in operation around the world. The company relocated to Venray (The Netherlands) in September 2003, where it still manufactures editing tables.

History of film Editing

 

Early films were short films that were one long, static, and locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as traffic moving on a city street. There was no story and no editing. Each film ran as long as there was film in the camera.

The use of film editing to establish continuity, involving action moving from one sequence into another, is attributed to British film pioneer Robert W. Paul's Come Along, Do!, made in 1898 and one of the first films to feature more than one shot. In the first shot, an elderly couple is outside an art exhibition having lunch and then follow other people inside through the door. The second shot shows what they do inside. Paul's 'Cinematograph Camera No. 1' of 1896 was the first camera to feature reverse-cranking, which allowed the same film footage to be exposed several times and thereby to create super-positions and multiple exposures. This technique was first used in his 1901 film Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost

Time Lapse

What is a time lapse ?

 A Time-lapse is where a camera takes alot of images of a subject with a gap  of time between each image. The gap can be anything from less than a second to a day or more. When the images are played back the gap of time is speeded up creating shorter time. 

What equiptment do you need ?

 You can take a time-lapse sequence with most cameras types, digital has made the process easier with the the large number of frames taken and the way to view as a movie with a computer. An important piece of equipment which enables you to set the camera up in a fixed position. When taking a time-lapse it is very important that the camera does not move or the effect well be spoilt. You can pan and zoom the camera, but it should be done as a slow sequence as part of the time-lapse.
