Everything seems to be going well so far. I’ve run through 7 reels for tonight which puts me a little over halfway. I had some flicker problems resulting from mismatching frame rates between the 18fps from the projector and the 24, 30 or 60 fps all my other equipment shoots at. To resolve the issue, I wrapped some masking tape around the drive pulley in the projector to increase it’s diameter, running the projector closer to 30fps, and I’ll slow the resulting footage down in post-prod.
I hope.
For now, have a look at my capture rig. I now have 1 tape of footage to capture into iMovie and edit it down to something esthetically pleasing. Keep you posted.





Your name is Lowe not Lowes! What a disappointment! My family name is Lowes as in Ann Lowes. Your blog should be named Blog of the Lowe family or Lowe’s Blog. Get it right!
Hey everyone, have a look at “Noelene”.. This person presumes to tell me what to call my blog. If there are 5 Lowes in my family, then it’s the blog of Lowes. Plain and simple. If you’re going to tell me there should be an apostrophe, then I don’t have time for you.
Noelene, get it right. I’ll call my blog whatever the hell I want to. I suggest you go find some employment to get your mind off such things.
