You might want to go back and read some of the discussions on this and the PSB thread, as it will answer a lot of technical questions. Here are some quick comments:

- no it is not videotaping a projection at slow speed. The camera is zoomed into the gate, and a snapshot is taken of each frame. The frames are assembled in software into an .avi file. There is no projection. See www.moviestuff.tv for details.

- 16mm films are not only generally poor quality, they are ALL heavily cropped, even the scope prints. Go back into the thread and look at some of the screenshots as the project progressed, for this and for Krig.
