The recent Stanford Theatre screening was, by my estimation, shown at between 19 to 19.25 frames per second judging by how many measures I had had to add to each cue throughout. Glad you enjoyed the show, Jason!Dennis Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733870058840414356.post-70911167942930293162012-04-09T15:44:57.620-07:002012-04-09T15:44:57.620-07:00I hope you had a place to crash in SF!

But I use a combination of IMDb, other sources I can find, and my personal judgement. For ROBIN HOOD, I got 127 minutes from IMDb, but it matched the fact that the show was scheduled for 7:30, there were some opening remarks, and it got out a little after 9:40. So even if timing it would give me a +/- a couple of minutes, 127 is legit enough for me.<br /><br />A couple of years ago SFSFF played HAXAN: WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES and I know they slowed it down (because it made me miss BART home.) I still used the IMDb running time even though I knew it cheated me out of 10-20 minutes, on the premise that underestimating is okay but overestimating isn't.puppymeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861361925649066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733870058840414356.post-55337519114570458212012-04-09T14:07:26.138-07:002012-04-09T14:07:26.138-07:00Damn.

As you may know, the imdb is notoriously inaccurate about certain things, and running times for silent films is one of them (it doesn't help that many silents are out there prowling around in multiple versions, and can be projected at varying speeds).Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733870058840414356.post-78678050851872224202012-04-09T13:54:38.200-07:002012-04-09T13:54:38.200-07:00It was pretty well attended, but not a sellout.

At least, there were seats available in the front row.<br /><br />I generally use IMDb or other sources (e.g., festival guides) for the running times. Sometimes I have had to estimate, especially for silent films that don't have a set running time. When that happens, I try to estimate low, so I don't give myself extra unearned minutes.puppymeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861361925649066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733870058840414356.post-18819379824203655972012-04-09T13:26:18.059-07:002012-04-09T13:26:18.059-07:00Hey wish I could have been there for this.

Was it well-attended? <br /><br />Also, the geek in me wonders if, when tabulating the minutes for your lifetime total, you actually time the movies to your watch, or just use imdb or some other source as a guide.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.com
