Filmstrip Projectors

JeepMonkey:
Has anyone ever looked into adding a working filmstrip projector (8mm, 16mm, other) and movies in your home?

I am sure it is very impractical, limited movies, old equipment, etc, but I think there is something neat about the idea.

A quick google search did not show a good filmstrip forum / discussion group.

I have my dad's old 8mm that we use for reel to reel stuff that they used to get like Abbot and Castello meet Frankenstein and some old home movies but nothing set up permanently.   Sounds like fun!

I have home movies of me as a child on 8mm...  I would like to get a projector to view them again, but first, I think I want to get them transferred to DVD or something, just in case.

mmb:
You use a film transfer box for that or just film the projected image on the wall with your DV camera.

The Transfer box is just a box with a mirror in it to take the projected image of the film and reflect it into the lens of the DV camera.  Anyone that does videography for weddings and the like should be able to do it.

HaRuMaN:
Good tip, thanks.   :cheers:
