Filmshooting

Thanks guys.

I've never shot any cine before and I am looking forward to this little experiment like a big kid! I usually shoot MiniDV and have progressed to HDV. Fantastic in it's own right, but just something about film :D I'll need some advice for filming using cine. I'm not sure what camera my ...

Hi All,

I've found an unexposed cartridge of Super 8 Kodachrome 40 - Type A in my Father's photographic draw.

The film expired 2/1980. It has been kept in this draw, away from both sources of immediate heat and light and is still in its foil wrapper. I live in the Uk, so it's not been subject to ...

:D IT'S FIXED!!! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I've tickled with these. Lubricated a few things and still to no avail, but then I thought I spotted something amiss...

The film direction and start knob has a lever out of the top. This looked like it was supposed to press the gate ...

Hi RCBasher.

I swapped the shim position over, but still the same.

Below is a quick pic of my gate, not too good a shot I'm afraid. The claw pins sit perfectly in the middle of the Super8 sprocket holes!

I tried something which you guys will ...

Hi RCBasher,

Would it be possible to check that it is the case that the shim is under the hinge plate? I'll try putting the shim under the hinge plate and see what happens.

Yes, I am seeing just one sprocket hole in the centre left side. When you say alignment issue, how do you re-align it? It's ...

Hey Guys,

Just out of interest I took the gate door off completely to see what's what and also give the works a good old clean.

Could anyone verify to me where the shim with 2 holes in it goes?

I took it off from the bottom bracket. It was underneath the screw heads on top of the hinge plate. Is ...

Hi all,

Alan I only said I have a HDV camera, I have absolutely no idea how to get it work in HD mode with Cinecap, :D so I will start off just caputing SD. Anyone got any suggestions?

Also, Alan, there's no sound what so ever from the lens. The overall condition of the projector is pretty amazing ...

Hi RCBasher. Had a look at your site. Very interesting stuff and lots of ideas to digest.

I have access to a lathe and a competant person to operate it, so if it is easy enough to get the shutter disc out, I will. I had thought about the balancing issue too.

Ronnoco; I had ran a film while ...

Thanks richard p.t. and fogo.

I was originally intending to go the aerial image route, but I'll do some more research and decide later. I've got a Canon HV10 HDV camera and intended to record in HD, but apparently that's another forum topic in it's own right.

I really like this Eumig 610D ...

Hi everybody,

I've been reading some of the forum topics on here for weeks now and I took the plunge and bought an Eumig 610D off Ebay for the purpose of turning it into a Telecine machine, like the Workprinter etc etc.

I plan to follow the fabulous instructions set out by Onsuper8, with a few ...
