The combo 16mm/35mm projectors do this. What's more, they use the same motor to drive the intermittent... you just put a different sprocket on the shaft and flip a switch, and the computer pulls it down one 16mm frame rather than one 35mm frame. Want to run 3-perf 35mm instead of 4-perf? Flip a switch and it sets the pulldown for that. It is ingenious as hell, reliable, and a joy to use. No cam follower to need constant greasing and adjustment, no intermittent leaking oil all over your shoes. > It would fascinating to watch the live manipulation of shutter > phase if such a thing were possible.

You wouldn't see much change in motion blur, what you'd see is just a change in the duration that each frame is shown, so there would be a change in flicker. To change the motion blur you'd have to make the adjustment on the camera side. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
