Hello. I'm trying to do exactly the same process but with a Canon S3iS set on manual so i can get a really high resolution... pictures at 3MP should give higher resolution than HD... looking forward to do this to work color correction in post.. How long did it took you to capture this minute?
Filmstock was 7239 reversal. It is shooting into the lens of a projector, frame-by-frame, with a digital camera. Take a picture, advance a frame, take another picture, etc. End up with thousands of JPGs, stick them all together with Quicktime.
ouch! still better quality than using a scanner. I heard of some guys using a canon, but the shutters fail after x number of frames, so expensive telecine eh!
The Canon Powershot A70 is not a DSLR--much cheaper. I couldn't disable automatic focusing so some of the frames are blurry. I think with a better setup and a proper closeup lens or diopter the result would be acceptable.

A few seconds per frame, as I recall. You'd want the camera set to manual, otherwise the exposure would be changing for each frame.

This video has been viewed 3322 times and only had one single rating. Preposterous.
It's beautiful, have five stars.
I'm a bit confused though, having a single frame exposed to the projector light would damage it, wouldn't it?

From a projection? Or back lit film? Was it reversal or Neg?
