Re: cameraless motion picture pinhole

Bernard, you have me thinking about this!!
There would be some DEFINATE advantages in 16mm animation (or 35mm
animation!) if the camera were small (only as large as the film load).
the questions are:
#1 how to insure proper registration??
#2 how to advance the film??
I considered using old projector parts but that would be as bulky as
a camera, probably even bulkier. I wonder if anything could be built
out of such parts???
If you figure anything out, man, PLEASE let me know...

  2 words about "hand processing" your 16mm motion picture
film.....different chemicals. At least I know some stocks are and I
THINK that all of them are.
BUT if you shoot up to 100 feet this way (2 & 3/4 minutes running)
you can get it easily & hassle free processed at a motion picture lab
for about $20 - 30.
