Dear Friends,
Someone recently gave me a mostly complete Kaiser RS-1 copy stand. I would like to use it, if possible, to compose text on my computer, display that text on a small flat screen monitor that I place on the copy stand grid and re-photograph the text with a Bolex. I would then double expose or bi-pack the text with other material in my optical printer. Is that a workflow that makes sense? I do not have a camera screw to attach the Bolex to the central column. I would need something with a much longer shaft than the camera screws I see advertised around, or the ones I have from tripod shoes, something more like the camera screw that comes with an optical printer and that attaches the Bolex to the base. Does anyone have a long-shafted camera screw that would fit a Bolex knocking around in a box somewhere? I also do not have light bulbs. I do have bulb fixtures on adjustable arms that come with the copy stand. Any recommendations for LED lights? Should I swap out the bulb fixtures for something else? If you have any advice for me about the workflow I’ve described or about using this copy stand set up with a Bolex, I’d love to hear it. Given the specialized nature of my question, it is probably better to contact me off list: [email protected]. Thank you for your insights.
