Yes. Timely post.
Shooting on part 2 of the DVD starts Monday the 4th of August at about 7 PM. Everything is ready except me and my darkroom. I just ran several experiments and have to clean things up this weekend.
I hate washing dishes.

I'd think that dried-up gelatin is a real PITA to scrub off...

Thanks PE
Yeah, those dishes are a PITA

The trick is to store dirty glassware and SS in water so the gelatin does not dry off. Even so, they are hard to clean. You see, you cannot clean things up after coating as the coatings are hanging to dry so the glassware has to stay dirty for 24 hours until I can package the coatings.

PE Ron,
Congratulations on what I know is a lot of just plain hard work.
Make sure you let us know asap after you finish. With your permission, I'd like to advertise its availability on The Light Farm. We are slowing putting together a very decent body of emulsion-making information and your contribution to the field (free or otherwise) is eagerly awaited.
Warmest regards,
Denise

Denise;
Thanks. I have shown Part I of the DVD to Bud. Maybe he would care to make some comments here about the progress so far. He has also seen parts of the draft of the book, but really has not read it over, he just had time to glance at it and get a sense of how it would look with graphs and photos.

Well, just finished 1.5 hours of taping. It will probably give us a 45 minute segment after editing. The subject was UF washing an emulsion.
Tomorrow we do a dual run emulsion. That should wrap part 2 of the DVD for about 1.5 hours of run time.

Just finished about 45 minutes demonstrating pumped making of emulsions using peristaltic pumps.
Wed and Thurs, I'll review the raw footage and plan any reshoots or additional scenes. Editing for part II is planned to start on Saturday and finish Sunday.
Disk I will be basics and run about 1.5 hours in 4 parts. Disk 2 will be about 1 hour and consist of 2 parts as planned, but may be longer or have more parts.

Please include details like pump info and how you hooked them up and controled them. It's the kind of thing where someone may be able to get the same equipment, but if they don't, the details provided will help with researching how to hook up what they do get.

The pumped making shows single and dual pumped makes as well as a third head and / or secondary pump. It will show methods to reduce pulsations and methods to use different types of tubing and how to calibrate the pump.
The washing will show how to wash an emulsion using a plate and frame millipore filter of 20 - 60 KD porosity and tips on how to clean and preserve the filter. It will show operation of the pump within safe limits and the time required for washing including the concept of turnovers.
This all will be expanded in the book. At present, nothing from DVD 2 is in the first draft of the book, nor is the most advanced version of my ISO 40 emulsion. The rewrite of the book will include the latest emulsion, this washing information and other advanced information that I have been working on in the lab.
