if I'm honest I'm not totally sure what I just watched but it's a nice tribute to a friend 
Thanks for sharing

I hope I didn't miss anything by not having speakers...
I watched it 3 times, and you're right that "new" stuff shows up all the time. I think it would be cool if you added even more clips as time goes on.
My condolences on your friend, by the way. The idea for this project was pretty brilliant.

Each 'frame' is 1/30th of a second, thus the 30 frames per second 'standard' that most movies play at. I have about 5 more seconds to add onto it, we recorded a 'dry run' which is what that video is, just to make sure the film would actually play through the projectors. It worked, but I had to do some wonky things with the projector system to make it work correctly. Once I finish it I'll probably repost the entire video (which by that time, will be closer to 30 seconds in length)
Its something my friend has always talked about, and something I wanted to do in his honor, and I'm glad you all have enjoyed it as much as he would've.
Some of the frames are backwards and/or upside-down, but that's really an amazing collage.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Ah that makes much more sense and makes the tribute much more real to me. A real labour of love
Thanks

Yea the only constant I maintained while putting the frames together was to align up the sound track. I'm guessing about 1/3 of the way through, i messed up a few frames, as you can see the 'blue tracks' which are the visuals that shows the 'sound track' when its being shown on the screen. I've since fixed that, so now everything runs the same. |

Having some frames upside-down was just a side affect of aligning up the sound track. Each frame is only about a inch tall, and 35mm across (hense the name, 35mm film) so working with something thats only an inch tall made it very difficult to align up each picture. It was much easier to just align the sound tracks together, and see how things worked out.
very cool.

Note, movies play at 24 frames per second. TV plays at 30 frames per second, but interlaced which means that it only shows half of a frame at a time.
35mm theatres are still my preference.
Well, I liked it. But then I've always enjoyed experimental film and it reminds me of the trippy experience of Razor Blades. It's a nice tribute to your friend, as well. Keep it up by adding to it, I say.

Thanks for sharing this with us, sorry to hear about your friend though.
Well I've finished putting all my frames onto the movie. Its about 4 inches in diameter, and will probably run a little over 30 seconds. I'll be running it through the projector sunday, and attempting to record it again. If i don't do it this sunday, i'll be trying to set it up again another time.
I'll post the updated video once its finished. Thank you everyone for your support and thoughts
That's a really nice thing for you to do! Condolences on your loss but this is a great way to remember your friend.
Thumbs up from me!
I have a telecine setup if you want a better copy of it.
Hey guys,
Last March, I lost a very dear friend of mine to his own actions. He was a coworker with me at the local theater, and always listened and was very interested in CoH just never had the time, nor money to actually subscribe.
For those that don't know, 35mm film theaters are becoming a very rare site, and I happen to work at the last one in town. When a movie is built, you have to cut out a frame of the reels, and you have multiple frames left over once you finish building an entire movie. Well, my late friend always wanted to splice (tape) together all those frames, and make a movie of sorts from all those frames. Well since he passed away i've been saving frames and putting them together, and this is the end result.

Let me know what you think, and what you see, as I notice I see something different every time I watch it. I just wanted to share. Hope you guys enjoy it
