Re: moving image

If registration becomes a problem, perhaps you could use an old 16mm
splicing block (which has sprockets for registration) a new plastic
one costs something like $10 - $20. Just a thought . I have no idea
how you plan to advance the film though. If you can work out the
"advance" mechanism, this very same idea could be applied to 35mm
motion picture as well.
