Critical Program Reading: A 16mm Film Transfer Test
Added 2022-12-18 15:56:42 +0000 UTCHello! I'm pretty far along the next video and have been doing some test transfers. I picked up a Lumix GH5-II, a camera upgrade I've been eyeing for quite a while, once I confirmed how the synchro-scan function works. And I'm happy to report that it makes flicker-free footage of the projector!
It's not perfect - I don't have a very fast lens at a focal length long enough (the projector I have has a terribly long throw) so frames periodically get blended. If I could set the shutter speed faster I could probably ensure that doesn't happen, but regardless this looks pretty good!
And relatedly, I was able to track down the correct connector to get the sound signal out of the projector. The amp could use a recapping, I'm sure, but the buzz in the signal is very minor. So overall, I'm quite pleased.
So anyway, this is a film that I got in my random pile from eBay that's an interesting piece of educational history. I figured I'd capture it. Over time I might do this to more films and upload them to the internet archive.
