-=+{ NOW ACTUALLY FOR SALE! }+=- A WizWorld Exclusive! Not available at eBay or any auction site! MIKE JITTLOV'S 16MM MOVIE CAMERA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Beaulieu R16-PZ "Automatic" Reflex-Viewing Movie Camera is the *actual camera* that has lensed landmark classic short films, including the special effects marvels which stole the show on two Walt Disney TV Specials (the three "Mouse Collector" sequences in "Mickey's 50th Anniversary" [1978], with the very first stop-motion animated Mickey Mouse; and "The Camera Wizard" sequences in "Walt Disney's Major Effects" [1979]). It has lensed the famous "Mouse Satellite" sequence (a 7-pass stop-motion-animation miracle), which opened Walt Disney Corp's 1982 Las Vegas extravaganza, which BEGAN the Disney Channel! It has lensed award-winning short films ("The Interview", "Swing Shift", "Animato", "Time Tripper", "The Wizard of Speed and Time"), dozens of commercials, titles, live-action and animated sequences. It has had only one owner -- the world-renowned (yet surprisingly, supremely humble) producer-director-cinematographer-animator-actor (& 130 more jobs): Mike Jittlov. This is a one-of-a-kind GEM of a camera! Not just a Hollywood Hall of Fame museum-piece -- this is a stunning, perfectly-operating, field-proven, professional instrument of legendary creation! It has a reinforced pull-down claw, allowing it to shoot 23 PASSES of rock-steady animation (absolutely phenomenal for most animation cameras, let alone a live-action model without registration pins)! Specially redesigned to film at ONE(!) frame-per-second, variable up to 70 fps, it is still switchable to a steady 24 (or 25) fps -- from stop-motion-animation and realistically-blurred pixilation to live-action filming. All of this self-contained and changed in a second -- no switching between heavy camera motors and parts! And it comes with: * Beaulieu R16-PZ with "Automatic" Reflex-Viewing, 16mm Movie Camera Body -- built to accept the easily-added 200-foot Film Magazine * Automatic Exposure -- f2.2-f22, slaved to the Variable Filmspeed! * Angenieux 12-120 Zoom Lens with Variable Power Zoom -- this was the finest of *seventeen* Angenieux lenses at the Hervic/Beaulieu Van Nuys headquarters, personally precision-collimated by Chris Barczak to match the finest of seventeen Beaulieu 16PZ cam bodies! * Angenieux Metal Lens Shade & Filter Holder w/Disney Souvenir cover * 2 Angenieux 10x12 10x15 Drop-In Filter-Holders (w/screw-on) * Filter - Tiffen Polarizer, 72m screw-on * Filter - Tiffen ND-9, 72m screw-on * Filter - Tiffen #85, Series 9 drop-in * Filter - Tiffen FL-B, Series 9 drop-in * Filter - Tiffen #85-B, Series 9 drop-in * Filter - Tiffen Plus-1, 72m screw-on * Filter - Harrison Fog-3, Series 9 drop-in * Filter - Hoya Cross-Screen, 77m screw-on * Filter - Cokin Diffractor Galaxy #042 (WOSAT's own SPFX filter!) * Angenieux Lens Caps - front & rear * Angenieux Manual Zoom Knob with WoSaT Extension * Removeable Eye-Piece which allows insertion of microfilm crossgrids for in-camera special effects alignment (another Jittlov First!) * Extra Beaulieu Rubber Eyecup * Beaulieu Electric Handgrip * 2 Beaulieu 1000-milliamp Handgrip Batteries * Chris Barczak's Custom-Made ????-milliamp Handgrip Battery * Beaulieu Battery Recharger (117-volt to 12-volt) & connectors * Beaulieu Battery Charging Container * Barczak Custom-Made 120-volt Power Adaptor w/connector cable & plug * Beaulieu 200-foot Magazine (very rare!) (Note: 200' loads often made head and tail-end footage unsteady; but this camera was factory-adjusted and specially strengthened to perfectly film 10' to 200' loads, with & without the 200' magazine) * Beaulieu 200' Load Stopper * Beaulieu 200' Load Channel Cap * 200' Magazine Metal Film-Bypass Spool (also rare) * 4 Cable Releases (rare long-plungers, mandatory for the Beaulieu) * Kalcor Radio-Control Cable Release (also a rare long-plunger) * Kalcor Radio-Control Transmitter Kalcor Radio-Control Reciever, and Case * Beaulieu Leather Wrist-Strap * Hurricane Jumbo Dust-Blower * Inversion Tripod Mount -- a custom-made (and Jittlovian designed) mount for this Beaulieu 16mm to permit easy filming of action with the camera inverted, which reverses all scene and character action without lab opticals or film-dupe degradation * Nodal Point Tripod Mount -- custom-made (and Jittlovian designed) mount that positions this movie camera's lens node directly above a tripod's pivot, allowing perfect pans for mattes & SPFX work * 8" x 7" Front Surface Mirror -- for filming difficult angles, SPFX * Beaulieu R16 "Automatic" Instruction Book (44 pages, in English!) * Professional Halliburton Aluminum Case -- lightweight, water-tight, with lock & keys -- blackfoam carved to hold a 16mm Beaulieu camera & Angenieux zoom lens, 200' magazine, 3 batteries, charger, filters (outside is pre-scuffed to conceal the incredibly valuable contents and discourage theft, since the Halliburton alone sells for $850!) -=+{ PLUS }+=- MIKE JITTLOV'S SUPER-8 MOVIE CAMERA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This beautiful Beaulieu 4008-ZM2 Reflex-Viewing Super-8 Movie Camera was Mike Jittlov's first serious movie camera, purchased with his life savings (in lieu of a car) in 1969, and which began his career as one of Hollywood's most unique Cinemagicians. A superbly-crafted special effect in its own right, the camera can film in live-action, speeded or slow motion (variable while filming!) and single-frame animation -- table-top, or on location. It lensed Mike Jittlov's first award-winning UCLA short films: * "The Leap" -- one of the first live-action movies with kinestasis (photo-montage animation), predating "Cream of Beatles"; and * "Speed" -- combining speeded-up-motion and stop-motion, presaging "The Wizard of Speed and Time" feature film, and beating the Keanu Reeves runaway-bus movie by 25 years. This is also the first Super-8 camera to do perfect, successive lap dissolves and 10-second super-impositions. Jittlov's film-tests were shown at the Cinema Beaulieu's Van Nuys Repair Center and led to the first Beaulieu Back-Wind Knob! (You're impressed, I can tell.) This very camera was seen on "Walt Disney's Major Effects" 1979 TV special, in Jittlov's classic short film "Wizard of Speed and Time" as it chased a snapping slate-board via stop-motion-animation. (And since Disney had declined to give Jittlov onscreen credit, that shot also flashed the filmmaker's telephone number around the world)! But it's not just a historically-featured treasure -- it also WORKS! Both the Super-8 and 16mm Beaulieus were hand-picked, calibrated and upgraded by CHRISTOPHER BARCZAK (Beaulieu's top camera repair tech, Jittlov's best friend, and a pro cinematographer in his own right)! This Super-8 film production set includes: * Beaulieu 4008-ZM2 Reflex-Viewing, Super-8 Movie Camera Body * Variable Film-Speed (2-70 fps), slaved to Auto-Exposure (f1.9-f22) * Angenieux 8-64mm C-Mount Zoom Lens, with Macro * Variable-Speed Zoom Lens Control * Filter - Tiffen Polarizer, Series 7 drop-in * Filter - Tiffen Sky 1-A, Series 7 drop-in * Filter - Hoya UV, Series 7 drop-in * Filter - Hoya ND-4, Seres 7 drop-in * Double Drop-In Filter-Holder (with 3rd screw-on) * Angenieux Lenscap (front) * Beaulieu Camera Body Cap * Back-Wind Knob (and this is the very first camera to use it!) * 2 Beaulieu NiCad Batteries (w/cases intact, innards probably dead) * Beaulieu Battery Recharger (with adaptor) * Beaulieu Battery Holder * Beaulieu 12-volt Car-Battery Recharger w/alligator clips (S-8 only) * Barczak Custom-Made Battery Belt-Pack (uses 6 standard C-cells!) * Leather Wrist-Strap * Rubber Dust-Blower * Professional Halliburton Aluminum Case -- lightweight, water-tight, with lock & keys -- blackfoam carved to enfold a Super-8 Beaulieu with Angenieux zoom lens, charger, filters (and the outside is also historically-scuffed to conceal the incredibly valuable contents - not to mention the case itself, which alone sells for $400!) -=+{ PLUS }+=- The Actual JITTLOV ART CREATION AND MULTI-PLANE ANIMATION COMPLEX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's right -- it's the legendary "JACAMPAC" (as seen in American Cinematographer, March'74)!! It's the very same animation stand that MIKE JITTLOV designed, built, and on which he created all of his award-winning 16mm animation and special effects movies!! Home-built, charmingly original and ingenious, the JACAMPAC was designed to work with the above-mentioned Beaulieu cameras. Their perfect Angenieux zoom lenses economically replaced the Oxberry crane's focus-wandering truck-ins, and Jittlov's own logarithmic rulings ensured perfect zoom-ins and "Powers-of-Ten" transitions. Seen during the Opening Credits and throughout "The Wizard of Speed and Time" motion picture, touched and operated by the film's actual Movie-Star, the JACAMPAC is a one-of-a-kind, WORKING special-effect! But it's not just a large Erector-Set movie prop! It also: * Works as a tilt-up drafting table, a pencil-test animation table, and a final animation & special-effects camera stand -- all in one! * Maximum utility in minimum space (72" high x 49" wide x 25.5" deep) * Sturdy and stable, with tilt-up sides, add-on overhead drying-racks * Has three moveable film-lights (still working!), with spare bulbs * Has meticulously hand-scribed star grids, that spin on a lazy-susan rotator, producing Disney-perfect sparkles for mere pennies! * Has original peg-racks still filled with Jittlov's brushes, pens, strange rulers, and his original Cartoon Color Animation paints (unusable, but eye-catching), plus a 1974 Cartoon Color Catalog! * Has Mike Jittlov's only stopwatch (a Heuer Trackmate 1/5), still hanging on its hook, and still in perfect working order * Has three 250-packs of Acme-punched animation paper and cels, still pristine and waiting for some Animagician's creative touch * And in the heart of the tabletop is a vintage FAX Animation Disk with double 18" Magnabars (each with dual magnetic/screw-downs, and extra Acme pegs) -- all in immaculate, perfect working order! And think about it: you can't buy Steven Spielberg's or George Lucas' animation stands. Not for any amount! They never built any! But you CAN buy Mike Jittlov's legend-making JACAMPAC!! Warning: though completely usable the JACAMPAC isn't a spine-friendly device, especially for the most stress-filled occupation in the motion picture industry. Created by/for a 6'2" man of singularily resilient physique (who still needed a chair to check camera focus), the bizarre contraption is best suited as a showpiece in a musum of innovation. BUT WAIT -- THERE'S MORE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Spectra Professional-2 Lightmeter (Jittlov's first and only lightmeter, used to film everything from "Swing Shift" to the 35mm "Wizard of Speed & Time" theatrical movie and special effects, last callibrated on 5/2/86), with original case and instructions * Black Film-Changing Bag (two sleeves, double-zippered) * Beaulieu R16 Automatic Camera Brochure * Beaulieu 4008ZM Camera Brochure (with the memorable Go-Go Blonde ;) * Beaulieu 16mm and Super-8 Price-Lists (circa 1972) * 4 Beaulieu (England) Tourist Brochures! * 2 packs of Ancient Archival (mid-1970) Kodak Lens Cleaning Tissues * 35mm Splicer (has nothing to do with all this, but it's included!) * American Cinematographer, March 1974 issue -- Featuring a 12-page (& 25-picture!) article written by Mike Jittlov (the camera owner), about "Swing Shift" -- an award-winning short film (then a landmark combo of live-action and life-sife stop-motion animation) -- all made with the above 16mm Beaulieu (proudly displayed in two photos on Page 329)! [This issue is a coveted Collector's Item -- and it is in rare MINT condition!] * A super-rare, virgin, 16mm print of Mike Jittlov's "Animato", made exclusively on the above 16mm Beaulieu and JACAMPAC -- actually in the 1979 finals for Academy Award Nomination (Animation Catagory), glowingly reviewed by Regis Philbin on the ABC News, bringing Mike Jittlov to the attention of Walt Disney Studios, leading to the "Wizard of Speed and Time" movie, fame, fortune, and this website! * A VHS videocassette containing the entire, feature-length, award- winning, stereophonic cult-classic, "The Wizard of Speed and Time" (an adventure-documentary of eccentric Hollywood film geniuses) * This 16mm Beaulieu is actually featured IN that movie, seen in its opening titles, and seen filming its original legendary sequences! * PLUS, included on the same videotape are many of the award-winning film shorts made using this camera! I.E. -- You get to own, to have and to hold an historical, working GOLDMINE!! * You also get to call Mike Jittlov (previous owner of said Legend), share your joy, ask him all kinds of questions about all the above and how he made all those movies, until his patience runs out! * A Science Fair 3000 Optical Lab Kit (THE plastic camera kit of the 70's, over 135 experiments, build your own microscope, telescope, periscope, and 35mm reflex camera, made in in Germany, 112-page instruction manual in American (box is a bit rough but its insides are breathtaking pristine and unused) -- PLUS, this is the actual prop seen in the "Wizard of Speed and Time" Garage Sale Scene! * Mike Jittlov's Camera Repair Toolkit, including a custom-made spanner wrench set, hundreds of near-microscopic hard-to-find screws and springs, repair books and instructions -- which almost led Mike Jittlov into the humble, lonely life of a 35mm SLR camera repairman (he received the highest "A" grade in his Pierce Valley class, by the way) -- along with some extremely rare Beaulieu 16mm and Super-8 camera parts! -=+{ THINK ABOUT IT! }+=- * People are paying $6,000 for "Limited Edition" Disney character cels -- thin pieces of painted plastic in a cardboard mounting (a total expense of about $5, plus fee to an overworked duplication artist), cels which were NEVER ACTUALLY USED in ANY Disney movie. * Whereas, Mike Jittlov's movie equipment has actually FILMED many THOUSANDS of animation scenes (and cels), which WERE seen on Disney specials around the world, and acclaimed as the hit of their shows! * These cameras and this animation table also have FAR more surface area than a single cel or figuerine, and can attract a hundred times more dust! They can also attract intense curiosity, and possibly even paying audiences! True, you MAY be able to find cameras LIKE these in the classified ads for less money. But they WON'T be THESE cameras. They WON'T be THIS FAMOUS. And they WON'T be THIS GOOD!! (Gol' they may not even work!)
