Pj: gorgeous!

poita: I'm really interested in this, I'd love to see a video of it in action. I was actually thinking about doing the same thing, but then tying the projector speed to some other input, either light or sound levels or a sensor of some kind. For an art installation or something.

But ...

My setup uses a stepper motor that stops at each frame, so exposure time can be as long as I want. So transfer rates are not a huge issue for me. And I capture directly to my computer, so assuming these USB cameras actually are TWAIN compliant, I should be able to figure something out with that. But ...

I'd heard that Yale would no longer be processing since they moved to Valencia, but I looked at their website the other day and they still list all the same film processing services, and the wording sure sounds like they're still processing. And it says that the page was updated on 02/15/2015. So ...

I use a Sony XCD-U100CR in my 16 and super 8 setups, and that gives me 1600x1200 pixels. I also got mine for cheap on ebay. When I was scanning 4x3, it was perfectly fine, since the 1200 pixel vertical resolution gave me more than enough information. However, I've since widened out my 16mm gate to ...

I like it!! I'm really curious about how you went about a lot of it, so I've got a few questions, if you don't mind. Does it run continuously, or does it step frame by frame and wait for capture? And what are you using to run the motor / advance the film / trigger the capture? And where does the ...

Processing color is significantly more difficult; there's remjet to remove, there are more steps, more chemicals, you have to be more careful with temperature, etc. That said, you can process color films as b/w and you will still get images, but obviously the color information won't come out. You ...

I've processed a lot of Tri-x as a negative in D76, and it works great, but yes it is grainy. (There are a bunch of videos in this playlist, if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6E414828ACB06EE9)
I haven't tried the reversal kit yet, but I did buy pot perm and sodium ...

Have you ever processed still film before? Because it's pretty much exactly the same. You need a tank, either a purpose built one, or just a bucket. Processing a negative is a lot easier than reversal. At a minimum, you need developer and fixer. You can buy developer at a photo store, or you can ...

So scan some stuff already! The suspense is killing me

if your stepper motor is up to it, the motor could drive the projector as a normal projector, ie. running it at 24 fps. And with feedback from the shutter sensor, and appropriate control logic, you can regulate the motor to hold the projection rate at precisely 24 fps (or any other rate), for ...

Thanks!!

The bellows front element controls the focus, and the sliding baseplate that the camera is mounted to effects the zoom. I used to have a two directional setup for a while that the whole rail system was attached to, which allowed control towards and away from the film plane (zoom) as well ...

Hey, I thought you guys might be interested in my setup. I started with a super 8 scanner, but I recently canibalized that to build a 16mm version (I'll be making a new super8 scanner soon). It uses a stepper motor, Arduino, various sensors and LEDs, and an old Eiki NT-0. Going back to the original ...
