  Clapper loader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The clapper loader typically has a very high responsibility level on any given set, because they are more or less the only person on set who directly and physically oversees the state of the undeveloped negative.
The loader is the only person who actually handles the negative between the manufacturer and the laboratory, and thus can easily render an entire day's work useless if the film is handled improperly.
Kubrick fired one loader I know on his first day of work for walking across the set holding a magazine upside down.

 Camera magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, the loading of motion picture film must be done in a dark room or light-tight changing bag by the clapper loader.
As the loader cannot see what (s)he is doing, the loader must already be familiar with the magazine prior to loading a "hot" (in usage) roll and able to go through with the loading operations only on touch.
When learning, usually a loader will start by practicing with unusably fogged rolls ("junk" or "gash" rolls) in light and then try with junk rolls in a changing bag after feeling competent enough.

 Andy Pratt's Negative Cutting
He or she should make sure that all slates are well-lighted, in focus, and in frame-including the clapper.
The dexterity and competency of your camera loader dictates whether or not you have captured an image on film at the end of the day.
If the clapper is not kept closed after making the clap, if the bottom half of the clapper is in motion during the clap, or it the slate is moved out of focus, out of the light, or out of the frame when it is clapped syncing can be complicated.

A lot of their time can be spent in the darkroom but they must also be on the floor to assist the focus puller.
Below the clapper loader, on the lowest rung of the ladder, is the trainee clapper loader - and that's where most people come in.
Having a third-level qualification in the area is not necessary and, in general, Durham says, apart from giving you an idea of what areas in the film industry you might like to go into, it won't earn you a higher starting rung on the ladder.

After a kid graduates film school, the first job he or she will get in the camera world is as a van driver (driving replaced parts to shoots) for a camera rental facility.
Eventually she'll meet a "real" DP who hires her to be part of his cam­era crew as a second AC, who loads magazines, works slate (aka: clapper) and keeps camera reports.
For a $500,000-$1 million shoot, budget for three-four camera assistants (a second operator loader for the second camera, probably an Arri II-C) which will cost $17,000-$20,000.

 Katherine Gamble - Interview
Yes, which is not a problem because one of our clapper loaders is able to do focus pulling, and then we just bring in another clapper loader.
Or when it is just two cameras and we have an experienced clapper loader, Bill Pope will operate one camera and the other operator will operate the other one, the same clapper loader can work with both.
But when they use three cameras we need to find another camera operator, another focus puller and another clapper loader.

 Sunshine
That is what the clapper board is for- along with showing which scene and which take is being shot, when the clapper loader ‘claps’ the top down there is both a visual and an aural link which can be used by one of the Assistant Editors to get the pictures and sound in sync.
Here’s more: obviously, when shooting on video one doesn’t need a clapper board as sound is automatically recorded in sync.
Usually, if it’s not TV drama, both cameras start recording, then both point at the host/presenter who claps just before doing a take… In the edit you are then able to sync up the videos so that the sound fits perfectly with the vision from both angles.

The person who operates the clapboard at the beginning of a shot, also responsible for loading film stock into film magazines.
The action of slapping the clapper was invented as a way of synchronizing the visual and audio components of a shot.
Recent innovations in audio-visual synchronization have made this unnecessary, but it still occurs extensively.

 curn FAQ
As of version 3.0, curn uses its own custom class loader which ignores the CLASSPATH setting.
(I may change that in a future release.) The custom class loader is necessary to support plug-ins.
The easiest way to install your custom output handler (or parser adapter) is to copy its jar file into one of three places:

 curn User's Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Note: While it is possible to invoke curn via the java command, it's not recommended.
For curn's plug-ins to work properly, curn must do some fancy class loader footwork.
Basically, curn uses a special bootstrap class to find all plug-ins and create a special class loader that can load everything—plug-ins, core code, etc. If you don't invoke curn via the bootstrap class, the plug-ins don't load properly.

 1080p, 720 P..should I care? - Page 2 - The Digital Video Information Network
Do some testing and figure out what is best for your deliverables.
Having worked as a film loader and a P2 assistant, I've found that P2 loading/downloading is more stressful than loading film.
Even though the P2 loads are similar to 16mm film loads in terms of shooting time, the fact that it's video means that people still shoot as if it's a 60-min tape.
