View Full Version : Slightly more difficult workflow then RED...
The best part is the box cutter process...

Well 4K it ain't. Must have been fun cutting the sprocket holes.

WOW
I wish I had that much time on my hands.
Maybe I would if I could just stay away from this forum.

Now THAT is just mad! Got to love mad people though, otherwise where would Red be?
Great stuff! I love the look of the projected print.
Something similar, but more practical:

I wonder if someone can do this with a a 4k lcd panel!

I saw this at Siggraph in 2000. It is realy amazing in person. The sound of all the wooden blocks flipping over is somehow soothing.
Sean, thats awesome. I wish I had time for "fun" projects.

I think I see some artifacting in that second clip. Not sure. Does any-one else see this?
Who let you out of your work cave!!!!! Back at it engineer boy!!!!lol.. yes sir. :waaa:

That looks cool, except for cutting it out... Someone (Make blog I think) suggested using a laser cutter; that would sure speed it up, although you might just come out with a blob of melted plastic if you tried it!
Speaking of Super 8, is there anywhere that telecines that stuff? We have a bunch of old reels, and our projector doesn't work much anymore...

In person, that thing makes this creepy clicking sound as all the wood moves around. It almost seems alive.

I wouldn't diminish these projects calling them "fun projects".
The laser printer projection and the wooden mirror are very interesting conceptually speaking and share some traits.

The wood mirror is OK, but I had some friends in college who made almost the exact same thing, but using 2" plastic squares that were white on one side and black on the other. The squares were center mounted in square holes in a large piece of aluminum, flush with the front side. The aluminum was painted black and when all squares were rotated so the black was facing outward toward the viewer, it just looked like one large (4ft x 8ft) sheet that was black on one side, white on the other and held in a brushed aluminum frame. It was equipped with a camera in the middle and on the white side of the aluminum sheet, there was a servo controlled unit that would scan horizontally and then vertically in scanline fashion to flip squares it needed to flip... The camera would take a snapshot every minute or so and then the unit would flip the squares to make a representation of what the camera saw as a black/white image, leaving the inverse/negative on the opposite side. So not real-time like the wood mirror, but this was a while ago and things were different with real-time image processing. But it was cool to watch the thing take about 30 seconds to construct a snapshot of whatever was in front of it a moment before. It would pause about 20 to 30 seconds and start again. They built the thing out of a some digital camera they got somewhere with 320x240 resolution, a 25MHz i386 laptop and the guts from a retired HP plotter from the engineering department. It was on display during a student engineering exhibit showing everything from giant pendulum clocks, elaborate mouse traps, and other such things.
As for the guy printing his own film on the inkjet, he needs different plastic material and/or different nozzle settings on his printer. Too much dot spotting and bleed, looks like what you get when you try to print a transparency and the printer thinks you're printing on plain paper. Interesting project though... Not sure why anyone would do such a thing.
