D.I.Y n8/super8 film scanner

2007-10-05
It doesn´t matter how much i like to watch realfilm being projected. The vivid colours and the magick fealing. The slight flickering thats just southing and not att all anoying! But in this age it feels like it would be nice to transfer that fottage to a digital medium. So i have been scouting the internet for cheap telecine projectors and D.I.Y telecine projects before i decided what to build.
My construction that is almost finished consist of an old B&H projector capable of both n8 & super8 film. It has been fitted with an slow turning motor that drives it about 1-3 fps. A small sony surveilance camera is fitted with macro extension tubes an films the film plane directly. I will post pictures and drawings as soon as i can! Mean time you could wath some of my first test scans! They are not perfect and the films are pretty old and well run.
