Footage I scanned on a flatbed, compare with a pro telecine

[aquagak]

Here is a bit of Kodachrome 40 super8 I shot handheld on a Beaulieu 4008ZMII at 70fps half a year ago, which I scanned on an Epson 4990 flatbed film scanner as 3200dpi TIF's. I cut each frame individually (108 in total) in CorelDraw paint and composed them together as an uncompressed AVI at 18fps in a stop motion program called Monkeyjam. The uncompressed 989X649 pixel AVI file is 178MB and runs for only 5 seconds. You don’t have to download it, I thought I’d just uploaded it for those interested in comparing it with their professional telecine jobs.

There is a limit of how many downloads so I guess its first in first served.

Here is a gif I made of the actual shot for those who don’t want to download the file.

Looks fantastic!
From a professional telecine owner/operator perspective, however, there actually is no comparison, because of time consumption - what would be the turnaround on say, 1000 feet of film? ~:?)

Looks pretty good especially the registration. I've done flatbed scanner transfers before with 35mm films from the 1920's that had severely damaged sprockets. Transferring 150 frames took me about 5 hours. I only do this with damaged film and prefer the 6fps Workprinter XP. Even I don't have the patience at 1fps which is what I get on my Laird Optical Multiplexer 16mm unit.

Really, cool thanks. Well that 5 seconds took me around 4 hours Haha, that's from scanning the strips, cutting each frame and composing as an AVI. But I mainly shoot super 8 just to project, if I have a favorite few seconds of footage then I’ll flatbed telecine it.

Haha 1000 feet of film would take 2626hours which is 109days or 15weeks.

Well, it just looks great. Nice work.

...not to mention getting that green stuff all over your hands. ~:?)

Hi Aquagak, great work (and patience) !

Which flatbed scanner did you use (brand & model) :?:

[Carlos 8mm]

Oops, forget it, I didn´t read your post properly. :oops:

[steve hyde]

Wow! That is really imaginative. Stuff like this looks great on framed LCD screens.

I´d love to see it but it´s gone already...

[arnaud]

Aquagak,
could you please reload it? I am pretty curious as Mathis.
a.

[Scotness]

Perhaps you could post a clip sized somewhere between full rez uncompressed and an animated gif

[Shion]

Or even a couple of full-size stills?

Looks very interesting, based on the GIF. I have that same model scanner, so might have to try this myself sometime.

I'm uploading it again, it should take a few hours. I will bump this thread with the link when it’s ready. It expires after 25 download.

[mattias]

how about uploading it somewhere that allows more than 25 downloads? just a wild and crazy idea... ;-)

I would if someone offered to host, my site only has a 30MB upload limit.

In the meanwhile here is the 2nd yousendit link
