Hi! Must say something different; the footage in the begging was fantastic. I don’t know nothing but I got a whole lot out of it!!! Being a hard working immigrant and starting a family etc. it was so nice and touching. ❤

And here's how that works ... ends the video. So there was 8 minutes wasted.

I switched to the ESP8266 boards from Aliexpress. These cost around 2 dollars per piece with USB-C and have a lot more memory than Arduino's.

Thank you for sharing! Love that you provide the 'why' behind your design decisions - super helpful.

Great build. what sets yours apart is the cool coding. Love the acceleration/deceleration. Keep at it! I do astrophotography and see similar requirements to this. You'd be surprised how crazy stiff and still a rig needs to be to take good stacks of images. The bouncy pvc rails are doing you no favors. You can grab aluminum pipe, possibly of the same OD at the hardware store. Could do carbon fiber but that seems like overkill. Try lengthening the pause time between the move and the camera trigger to let the wiggles stop. If the motor pulled the carriage against a spring or elastic band, you wouldn't need an incline. i bet you can get a better time lapse with the images you've already taken with better software. something that aligns them better.

Great video. You deserve more views and subscriber. Keep up the good work brother.

I've waited years for this 🥹

This is a great solution, but: If I understand you correctly, your DSLR takes one shot for every frame of your Super 8 film. This is 18 or 24 frames in one second, which depends on the shooting speed. For the calculation below, let's assume 24 frames per second. With one hour of Super 8 film, your DSLR does 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 releases. Don't you think this amount of shutter releases will destroy your DSLR very quickly?

Rube Goldberg comes to mind. Clever set-up and it works! I would have gone sprocket-less, with a capstan feed, otherwise, nice project.

Just a college student and reveals a super complex built 😂😂😂

One frame at a time? That's what projectors already do, isn't it... stop-and-go at 18 or 24FPS?

.....The gravity fed system....???! seems to be missing, but thanks for the general idea.

Pretty cool to see all the ways people have developed to capture their films. I think it comes down to what we have on hand in combination with who we are. Thanks. I enjoyed the video.

I will say that there is a desperate need in the market for an 8mm film capture system that produces high quality scans. The Wolverine and similar products (which all seem to use the same basic parts) produce poor quality scans of each frame. I have captured movies in real time by shining a projector on cardstock on the wall and capturing with a miniDV camcorder (with firewire going into an older MacBook Pro and capturing with older iMovie HD). This works ok, and gives me twice the resolution of the Wolverine, but it's still half the quality I'd get from doing a quality scan per frame like you're doing. Surely someone could build a system for under $1000 that solves the "advance the frames" problem and either provides a decent built-in camera (4megapixel+) or lets you attach your own. Your DIY system looks cool, but obviously isn't doable by many people.

You said you used a gravity system, and then, "Here's how that works," after which you said it's the end of the video and skipped that part. :/

Im having a problem where the display is showing the image properly, but when I watch the SD card either in display or on PC the footage rolls up and down. I can record fine on some super 8 and others it rolls........ Any suggestions?

"Here's how that works." *END!* Uhhh... uhhhmmm... HUHH?

Wow, that load of tape just above your take-up reel is... all kinds of "pro," isn't it? Ha!

I bet those monitors have those layers of diffusion sheets even if we _don't_ look. And actually, it even depends on what _kind_ of monitor. So... what _kind_ of monitor?

"Maybe one sprocket on the film at at time"? So only one of those wheels at a time? Or... did you mean "one sprocket _tooth_ on the film at a time"?

Transferring your grandparents' films?

Brilliant!

Fine video. Thank you for the inspiration

Hi mate! Just starting out on my project build - what do you need the Custom 3d printed GT2 timing pulley for? Doesn't the stepper motor just go straight into your heisted sprocket? I feel like I might be missing a step! Awesome video, and inspired me to make my own, though instead of a camera, I'm going to be feeding it through a Plustek 8200i scanner!

good show, I;m trying to build one also for boy scout project

So how did the take-up reel work? That's cut out of the video.

This is genius! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting, Dylan. I'd like to know more about your camera settings. I see the Canon's dial is on manual, so you've locked off the ISO, white balance, shutter speed and aperture? How does the nifty-fifty perform on the end of so many extension rings? I use a Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5x macro lens on my Sony A7Rii to do roughly the same thing, but focus on such a tiny film frame is problematic, to say the least, and DoF is slivver-thin tiny.

Too bad you don't show us the machine actually shooting frames!

Awesome Dude!

ma cos'i la macchina fotografica ti dura pochissimo con tutti quei scatti

this is a bit of genius.

How does the gravity feed system work for the take up spool? You cut the video where you was going to explain

You may be interested in my project. An old projector solves the transport problem. Replace the bulb with a LED. Use a digital microscope for the camera. Attach camera with magnets to allow it to be positioned.

Very interesting. Results look good. Did you use the script you have given the link to in the resources to line up each frame afterwards using photoshop? I am just testing my build and I have slight variations (mainly up/down rather than sideways) between each frame.

Yes, better to use the silent / electronic shutter. Not familiar with Cannon, but it might have the option. Did you really mean a gravity fed system for the takeup reel, or a slip clutch. That clip got lost somewhere but we can see below a belt that goes around a 7" film reel and the the motor. Any issues wtih precision single frame advance? That's 4.321mm +- 0.01mm per frame. Very clever and practical!

You´ll ruin your camera´s shutter by shooting frames one by one. It just doesn´t last for long. The shutter life is between 100 000 to 300 000 shots. One 50 feet film has 3600 frames, so you´ll get only ca 80 reels and you have to change the shutter for your camera. That is not cheap to do. You need a shutterless camera to do the job.

That's the coolest invention I seen. I'm impressed.

Good way to scratch the film. SMH
