At L'Abominable in Paris we linked a flat screen to our Bolex animation stand using a mac running Max, so that each video frame is presented for a specific time (maybe one second) and the Bolex exposes internegative stock for that time, frame by frame. So it runs like an automated optical printer in fact. Internegative stock is the best to use but requires long exposures. Although kinescoping is the opposite of telecine, you can find some technical details for synchronizing projectors and editing tables to computers on the filmlabs site http://www.filmlabs.org/index.php/technical-tips/synchronise/ - and this can be reinterpreted for integrating the mac and the Bolex animation motor. -Pip
