I’m just collecting some notes, if I want to play with a home-built camera of some kind.
This is the plan for a laser-cut photo camera. I found it while looking for a Super 8 camera. It might be possible to modify it.
I had previously shot some stuff with a Super 8 cartridge hung off the back of a still camera. The exposure was too dark. I have to figure out some of the math involved. One element is to consider how much the crop factor changes when you’re shooting 8mm instead of 35mm.
And this is an 8mm projector kit, which might also have some useful elements in it.
