If you project on 18% grey card or paper you get more range in your
digital files to play with colour balance and light levels etc. ie it
produces a better gamma curve than a white screen. You can get this card
from photographic suppliers. Its the same stuff used to make accurate
exposure rea
Yes, but just to be clear I was talking adjusting shutter speed, not fps,
on the camera, to eliminate flicker.

Actually 16mm projectors are pretty tight at 24fps. I did lots of 100’ roll
transfers with a standard Pageant into a Canon XH-A1, and never had to fiddle
with the A1’s “Clear Scan” setting. After all, old-school telecine
I concur with both pieces of advice, particularly having the projector as far
back as possible and the camera further back from the projector. I would add
that high grade A3 print paper works well as a low-budget screen.

I had no problem with light bleed from the projector, and the further
distance meant I could be more in line with the projected image, which
helped with key stoning but more importantly made the light image more
even, and I didn't have a centre hot sport with darker edges.
Yes, I remember now, I d
I agree that off-the-wall DIY transfers can be quite good, though I’ve mainly
done 16mm, not S8.
The two main things are:
1. The camera has to be capable of running at the same frame rate as the
projector. (e.g. 24fps, for 16mm). You may or may not need the frame sync
feature in the camera th
I used a panasonic AF100 (not a DSLR) which has the ability to adjust
shutter by 1/10th of a degree, so you can eliminate flicker by tweaking the
shutter speed. I then shot it onto a movie screen which has high
reflectivity, and projected it so the image size was about 1 foot x 1 foot,

Hi all,
I plan to get my Elmo ST-600 S-8 projector lubed and running — any tips for
recording digital with a mirrorless camera. I have a lot of S-8 to convert.
Are there any especially useful devices or screens?
Or just get the camera close to the projector to minimize keystoning?
Thanks,
Robert
