cool!

have you films on youtube, please?

been marvelling and scratching my head at optical prints for
several years. Then someone pointed me in the direction of a ciné
book by Denys Davis (1960), which shows how to transform a projector
into an optical printer

then you basically double thread the projector with processed and un-
or part-processed film, to effect the optical print?

looks like the heck of a job - light-proofing an entire projector -
and *Standard 8* is presumably the best gauge to use (=open spools) -
but i'd quite like to have a go at it?

any tips, please?

thanks again

Ric
