Chris Maness Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I was thinking about rigging up a projector to do frame by frame capture. However, I am not sure if there are specific models that are better for this, or if there is a camera that can keep up with 18fps. I have seen some folks replace the lamp-house bulb with white LED's. I could take the images and dump them into virtual dub or something like that. Suggestions? Regards, Chris Maness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really cool program. It looks like it will be easy to convert a frame accurate telecine with this. I like the fact that I can do a batch in photoshop and convert from negative to black and white. Now I just need to come up with a capture rig. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Maness Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I found that yesterday. That is how I wound up at Freddy's site. He has the most excellent capture I have ever seen. Beautiful marriage between old and new technology. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris In my opinion, the best shots to evaluate the quality of transfer in super-8mm are back light, wide shots. Second best shots to evaluate the quality of the transfer in super-8mm are either front lit or top light wide shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
