Re: [Frameworks] Rear Screen Projection Rotoscoping 16mm
I just posted a short video of my op printer/roto set up. Hope it helps... https://vimeo.com/57535369 Impressive setup Ken! Looks pretty functional and easy to use. And I think the best thing is that it looks like all the major components could be found with a bit of hunting on eBay and Craigslist. Inspiring stuff! ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Hi Ben and friends, I just posted a short video of my op printer/roto set up. Hope it helps... https://vimeo.com/57535369 Re: glass I have used frosted glass in the past but I have found that just a sheet of clear glass with a piece of vellum taped to it works best. Feel free to email with any questions.

Re: [Frameworks] Rear Screen Projection Rotoscoping 16mm
I would be surprised if anyone has much more than a hobby business offering such services. You'll either have to DIY or use a digital intermediate. If you're doing it yourself you'd also need to look into whether the filmstock needed for matte work is still available. Cineworks in Vancouver, and Northwest Film Forum in Seattle have optical printers. There are still labs offering contact prints. Cineworks was given a contact printer from Technicolor when they collapsed, but you'd have to learn how to use it on your own and lab services would be out of town or DIY.
