a friend of mine has a friend who's got some
super-8 format film that he'd like to capture into
some kind of digital format.
the content is family stuff, personal interest,
no commercial value. he's not in a rush and doesn't
want to pay the high fees for a commercial shop to
do a conversion. the 20-year old film is in great
shape, given the limitations of super-8 format.
i suppose one way of conversion might be to
play the super-8 onto a screen and record the output
with a digital video camera.
my pal thinks this is good fodder for a hack: rig
up some kind of ccd device to a mechanical super-8
film feeder and use sprocket edge detection to
determine when to capture the current frame to the
ccd device.
anybody got ideas or opinions?
