Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted January 2, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've heard that if you shot the camera upside down, when the film is projected the motion is reversed. Once you turn the piece of film around, end to end, and splice it in, yes. Trouble is that if the format doesn't have perfs on both sides, you'd also have to flip the film around, which puts the emulsion on the incorrect side. Not sure which technique also causes the image to be mirrored, flipping it or not flipping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
