Hi everyone —

As of late I have been itching to use an optical printer for a film which must 
ultimately end up on the material itself. I have been looking into diving in 
and trying to make one in order to achieve certain effects like, for example, 
providing room for some sort of digital LCD harvested from a 3LCD projector, or 
using small complex objects as masks.

I’d like to use an “off-the-shelf” solution for the movement of the film being 
rephotographed by restructuring the layout of some sort of fairly simple silent 
speed projector. I understand that this is often done to build a digital 
transfer unit, but I am having a bit of trouble with the synchronization side — 
my worry is that stepper motors as well as a frame count gathered by those 
alone would be fairly unreliable and prone to difficulties on the side of the 
microcontrollers running ‘em.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a writeup for this sort of project. I want 
to get a better feel of what is necessary for working with this sort of 
movement, preferably with an emphasis on how to approach the user interface 
side of things. I have not used a JK by interfacing with those 
computer-controller interfaces, but that sort of automated control seems like a 
great boon when functional.

Thanks,
Brandon
