[Frameworks] EIKI NT 16mm Projector issues

2015-12-03 Thread ben.weinstein
I just purchased and EIKI NT 16mm projector and I found that it runs even when in the stop position. The only way to stop it is to unplug the thing so I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the issue was and how I could fix it. I opened it up but I dont know how to get to the switch.

I'm shooting super 16 as I want the image to fall onto the optical track, but I'm composing for 16mm as the aim is to produce a print using that excess image as sound. However, I do need to be able to pretty accurately center what I'm shooting for 1.37:1.

A couple of people asked what camera I'm using-I'm really looking for the right camera for this project. It seems like an Aaton might be a good candidate from what I can tell.

It looks cool... albeit the resolution seems to be potentially too low for some applications. I have found 720 to sometimes be a flattering resolution for Super 8 as it can roll off the grain a bit, but I don't think it is ideal for all applications. Personally I really want that grain. I do like the idea of having a coffee while this unit transfers my Super 8 film on my kitchen table in 4.5 mins though.

Ben,
You can see if those carts are seized by trying to pull down a few frames.
Hold the cartridge with the pressure plate (film) facing you and the label
side to your left (label text should be right side up), and try sliding a
few frames down. There should be only a little bit of resistance -
basically just enough to keep the film stationary when its not being
pulled by the claw.
It the film doesn't move with moderate finger pressure, the cartridge is
seized and you might try smacking it a couple of times before repeating
the test.
-Good luck!

[Frameworks] Super 8 prices!!!! WTF

2014-07-22 Thread ben.weinstein
Anyone know of a lab that does processing and telecine for relatively cheap cus 
the prices that im seein at all the major film labs are out of control.  I just 
have 12 rolls of super 8 that I wanna see and edit and I cant even afford to 
send em out. What should I do?  I cant be spending 100s of dollars on frickin 
super 8. Jesus christ! Why is telecine so expensive?

It seems like the ADVC-100 is good enough. Theres one on ebay for 35 bux. Ill 
probably just buy it. Thanks Gene

I'm certainly no techie, so this is a question, not a recommendation. 
Doesn't something like the Canopus ADVC-100 convert without compression?

Have you tried bridging through a miniDV deck? You can playback in the 
original video deck, and use the miniDV deck to record and capture.

If I recall directly.I don’t thing there were ever Digital-8 “decks” — just camcorders. Certain of these camcorders (with higher model numbers) can play Hi-8 (and, I think 8mm tapes) tapes and output them via Firewire. But the lower-end ones will not do this.
