I don't think you can safely add a layer of finish - ink and markers probably won't change much, but craft paint is going to come off (to some degree) so if you want to project this (much) you need to make a print. As I'm sure you are aware, the motion of the film through the projector is

Dear all, Millennium is re-locating to http://www.brooklynfireproof.com/ at the beginning of June. We are getting rid of a lot of film equipment some in good shape, some of it needs to be repaired or can be used for parts. We also have a lot of books. There are three screenings this week see info

Hi Jarrett, I've used clear nail polish successfully, but it's really just a stopgap to transfer it, not a permanent solution. If you send the film off for public screenings without a print it's pretty much guaranteed that the projectionists will be extremely annoyed at a print that is gunking up

Hi, Yes, I agree with previous comments about adding yet another layer to the film: don't, at least not as a long lasting projection solution. If break-down / image degeneration during exhibition is your thing, then that's another story. But it sounds like you want what you've made to stay more

Davinci Resolve has semi automated dust removal (only works with DPX frames) and I think it works in the free version. You draw a circle around the dirt particle and Resolve compares a set if previous and upcomming frames to paint it out. Works very well, you can potentially use resolve to

A circle matte no larger than the size of the dust particle was made, then a piece of the frame just before or after the dust spot--in its exact position--was captured then laid over the offending piece of dust. That's it! Worked like a charm. Perhaps David T can weigh in on his method?

A nice method - must have had many many layers in the timeline and lotsa effects - slow renders... and I hope he had lots of memory! Just two layers, and not that many effects. Just multiple iterations of the garbage matte on those frames with more than one nasty dust spot. There was a

To add to Stephanie's announcement, Millennium has a Bell and Howell JA Contact Printer that is not functional and is too cumbersome to keep. If someone redoes the wiring, they may be able to get it going. However, if no one picks it up, we will have no choice but to scrap it. That would be a

I'd like to second the internegative idea. If your work is done, then take it to a lab, have a contact internegative struck, and sit in on the timing session to ensure that the colors are just the way you want them. Or, and here is an opportunity for more creative work, if you have access to a

Thank you all for the info. My films aren't too long, max five minutes. I will probably try the clear nail polish option, as I'm looking for a way to stabilize the material on the film until I can wrangle up the money needed to get internegatives and prints made, they are both on clear super-8

Try some clear lacquer spray – if you spray it on and add another couple of fine coats when its still wet, the lay-off should be smooth and it will be fairly flexible. I've done this in the past and you have to get the lacquer to 'soak' over/around your mark making while wet without skimming
