Forgot that you are sub-miniature expert. Thank you for your advice as I was not expecting any serious response to this :-). On electronics part, I am not sure either but I can check it. Physically, if it essentially is the matter of duplicating the film format size wise and perforation, I will certainly try it, as one of my tinkering projects ;-). I will do some more research.
