But I will let you know when I do. I'm not sure how you could interface with the scanner, but there's probably some open source way to either trigger the scan or capture it straight. However, I can't really speak to how safe it is on your film quite yet. Thanks in advance.Did you make this project?
Bring back those good old memories instantly! I haven't run film through it enough yet to say whether it worked or not, so I can't really speak to how safe it is to do just yet. I'd been meaning to scale it up to 16mm for a while and finally got around to doing it. The project box has a Height=5cm, Width="13.5cm" & Depth="7.5cm". Josh …
Comments/questions are of course are welcomed!Here's some more I recieved over at filmshooting.com:Well, for what it's worth, here's my experience with it: I just filed out the gate on my 16mm scanner to scan the full super16 area. Processing by Spectra if I recall correctly.It is labor intensive Josh, but considering that I paid $5 for the scanner and that anyone can do with not expensive software I think it could be useful in camera, lenses, or emulsion tests. Who knows? A couple more things I've learned.
But I tried different older models and it was imposible tome to get a usable picture scanning in the vertical axis.Thanks for the compliments BIll and Steve! Using one of the inexpensive drill-press style mounts they make for these will probably make the job easier.Chrome-plated brass was the material of choice for quality gates back in the old days.
Ive tried to do this myself using what I had laying around. I've since tried to smooth out the gate more, and I went through and cleaned all the other rollers and other surfaces, which quite honestly could also have been the culprit.
Currently there is not gate for 8mm. That's the why I was looking for a way to use everyday software to do the job. And I would never tried to scan more than 10 seconds with this method any was. - YouTube But yep let's keep thinking and sharing ideas. Share it with us!Clip on your battery, flick the switch and your LEDs should light up.Follow the schematic above. You'll be able to hold a much finer tolerance, and control of the surface finish.
DIY Smartphone Film Scanner: Scan your favorite clips in just one click! I don't believe PTFE Hardcoat anodization was available until the 80s.If you choose to do that, some light can get through the perf and flare out in the capture camera, so make sure that your light source is sufficiently diffuse and even.
The source material is obviously not mine, it's from an old Castle Films "Chimp the Sailor" that I had lying around.This is literally the first thing I've scanned so far, I JUST got it working, so it's not perfect. Any work around for those type of images?Reply 5 months agoI know I'm very late with answer but every camera has different focal length, so try moving camera away to get clearer photos.A great idea about smartphone, thank you!Reply 3 years agoI planned to do something like this for digital camera (from cardboard like google vr glasses) but my 8mpx IXUS is hardly better than my new smartphone (yet to be tested).I have a friend who (now retired) was the chief curator for film for the Library of Congress.
