RIP Frank Glencairn - a fellow forum member & DoP

PostSun May 11, 2025 10:18 pm

I am saddened to inform you all about the sudden pass-away of our fellow forum member Frank Glencairn from Germany, who was always gladly and generously sharing his knowledge and also had been a beta tester for Blackmagic since the beginning of their camera journey.

https://frankglencairn.wordpress.com/about/

On May, 7th Frank was struck by a heart attack while being as the bass player with his band in Brighton, UK for VE day (victory in Europe day).
The performance was part of a variety of events held across Brighton and Hove to mark the 80th anniversary of VE day.

The message on his death by his band members:

A tribute by the mayor and the priest of the town of Brighton to Frank Glencairn:

Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.

What a loss ... most abject consolation to those who were close and related.

Yet what a way to be called home ... doing what you love at a historic event ... may
I be so lucky.

There is such a depth of skill knowledge and commitment on this site ...

May he rest in peace and ... perhaps join the bass section in a heavenly band.

Thanks for the notice ...

RIP Frank! He was an inspiration for indie filmmakers like myself. I still use and love his Kodachrome LUT emulation.

Tears for Frank and his family. A wonderful gentleman and mentor for us all. He loved working with military themes in his personal projects. Will miss his creative guidance and his selfless personality as one of the earliest supporters on this BMD forum.

Thank you, Frank!

Take another look at post #143 and #144. I guess we may never know what Frank was cooking up next…
