Re: Diy telecine unit

Re: I have a new business plan!

does your bailout plan on spending more money on an endless ammount of commercials??

how bout they require you to make you make a model that doesnt run on gasoline before you get any of the money.

for killing off the volt, they got what they deserved, a fading industry.

Antique shops in a while. Apart from eba$ does anybody have ideas on where to

Re: Beaulieu R16 battery/power question...pics

I have a r16 with the dummy handle for a grip but it would be nice to have a and inexpensive battery to thread on the handle. I have tried some adaptors for this camera and for the 5008 but not such luck.

Re: smallformat ends its run

I think if the magazine did a semi anual run that might work, in terms of getting time to get more advertisers and focusing on more 8mm super 8 or 16mm film, not fluff articles. super 8 today seems to have a nice concept but personally i thought something was missing. I know there are quite a few ol...

Re: flicker

Looks like the film was streaked. if tri x isnt processed or handled right, it will streak. for some reason the film is jumping in the gagate ever so slightly. could have been the car or the camera. hard to tell here as is just looks like bad video. the digitizing blockeness makes it worse obviously...

Re: My First Telecine Attempt...

if your are just going to do an off the screen transfer you will have to change the shutter speed on the camcorder. dont know what the pal version would be but in the states it is 1/60. then adjust the fps on the projector. i've found manual mode on a camcorder works better than auto since auto mode...

Re: Legal action for failure to renew smallformat?
