VLVL Round wire rims with ND-I filters for lenses

[Terrance]

When Frenesi meets Zoyd he is wearing wire-rimmed yellow shooting
glasses. Zoyd, a generic long hair with a Zappa mustache.

Frenesi's realm is Light and DL's is Dark. VL.250

Brock Vond, of course, is not so black and white, but has a white light
around him at times ... his immunity ... his charisma ... his natural
charm and his affability ... women falling over themselves to give him
flowers ... a light he can project onto shadowy figures and conjure up
Frenesi's ghost or a light that saves him from danger, and even death. 

Sometimes Brock is Blue, sometimes he's all the red light filtered out, 
sometimes he sees things in dim shadows and dark dreary attic light,
some times he is the darkness itself. 


At one point Frenesi says, hey, it's just a movie, just a film,  just
rock and roll, just shadows, but she is as obsessed with Light as all
the other members of 24fps. 
It's just pictures, BUT How's the Light? 

The obsession with Light in 24fps isn't limited to Frenesi and the
Pisks.  Sledge, for example,  is obsessed with the power generator, the
Mole-Richardson700 he can't help but play with like a motor head
tinkering with a carburetor. Frenesi, of course, is attracted to the
Beast, the Power, and the young gaffer splices into the grid, an art she
learned from her old man, Hub, who Turned on his Brothers because he
went insane, was blinded by the Light, Jesus, he just had to work with
that Light, when the Brute technology put all those hollywood torch
carriers out of work and everyone had an excuse to Turn, to work with
the new technology. 

I was talking to the Carpenters and Electricians the other day (yeah,
I'm an expert in Lighting, ha ha) and I was telling them that if they
permit new machine-tools on the shop floor, if they permit new materials
on  the decks, if they continue to leave their hand tools in their
trucks, at home, more and more mechanics will end up on the bench, and
apprentices will end up assembling pre-manufactured made in China parts
with machine tools like factory workers. Good Bye Trade! Hello minimum
wage (in NYC, about 12 buck an hour for laborers, won't pay the
mortgage).  The Olympics, we hope, are coming to NYC. We need this. But
the push is on to introduce new machines and materials and put skilled
labor out of work. Pynchon is a skilled worker, an artist, he works with
his hands. Believe it or not, he's written a book about what's happening
to the American Worker. 




Neutral Density Filters 

      Sometimes it's desirable to control the amount of light passing
through a lens without stopping down the iris (moving to a higher f-stop
number). Under bright sunlight conditions you may want to keep a
relatively wide f-stop so that you can use selective focus. Using this
technique you can throw distracting objects in the background and
foreground out of focus. 

Although using a higher shutter speed is normally the best solution
(we'll get to that later), the use of a neutral density or ND filter
will achieve the same result. A neutral density filter is a gray filter
that reduces light by one or more f-stops without affecting color.
