Yes the vignetting is a problem, i'm thinking of using a field lens to correct
it

also the colour cast is a problem - need to try a few filters

yes thats right

keep constant exposure

I sure wish this process could be automated:)

Thx Roger

It seems that stop frame is the way to go and safer!

what about exposure - should I keep that fixed based on the brightest scene?

leave it on auto and let the film cam decide ...

Thx

maybe someone has exploded view from a manual?

horrible retractable power cord on the 200 model

takes those 'spacehelmet' lamps 50w

if you use it for telecine has a nice feature where 8mm and Super 8 are projected same size ...

for fun

maybe modify a motor drive for a Nikon 35mm to run at 24 fps with a bulk back (200ft) fitted

then use a motorised nikon (4k dpi) coolscan for telecine : slow but do-able

then Lustre for colour timing, then print to film

main attraction, low cost
also think of those great Nikon ...

8mm2avi is an interesting approach by using software registration, I wonder whether the same can be achieved with Photoshop actions.

A while back I did some calcs with my Canon 2700 filmscanner which can scan 8 S8 frames within the 35mm frame space and even with a simple system to pull the film ...

Hi Mattias

To some extent the tomfoolery with 10mm DOF at the beginning of "Swordfish" is tongue in cheek.

My understanding of shallow DOF in Cinematography terms is to direct the viewer to key parts of a scene without the distracting background, for example to add weight when the lead actor has ...
