Why not revive a 3 year old fascinating thread regarding Techniscope 16mm and timecode applications? Is Paul Bruening still around?

Is Paul Bruening still around?

 

No, Paul had heart trouble. He died a couple years ago. I wonder what became of that movie he was working on. He always had such interesting and unusual ideas....

He was somebody who challenged many conventional ways of looking at things. It was exciting to hear

what he had to say.

My condolences and I am sorry to hear of his passing. He presented some very interesting concepts in this thread.
