Well, I meant either from scratch or with existing parts :)
Are there plans anywhere on how this can be done? Do you have any prototypes or pics of how you designed and built yours?
After several thorough searches, I am really surprised how little information exists on this topic - I guess people find it too daunting to try and build their own 35mm movie camera. I think it would save tremendous amounts of money, and also give you a working knowledge of the machine in order to repair it, etc.
Any help you guys can provide would be most appreciated!
