Thanks! I went to halogen for the color temperature which matches the setting of the camera. I will post some demos when I have scanned the 2020 film properly (I redid the film transport mechanism just now).
Hello! Nice work! I´ve seen some vids from other users and i try to build my own scanner. I am collecting ideas to set it up and participiate by the lessons learned from you an others. I have some ideas: The collecting reel / spool should be connectet with magnet transmission to avoid to much torque on the film. The light-scource is an high power led from a cheap 15Euro Headlamp. To adjust the color-temperature i will use software like photoshop or gimp. There you have the tools "Cropping" "Rotating" "Whitebalance" and you are able to adjust the exposure via "gradation curve" in small limits. Batch-work in a Folder is also avaliable. The transver from jpeg to mpeg is then via blender - like you do. Or do you know another open-scource way? Greetings from Germany, sorry for my bad english
Hello! Thanks for your comment. I have a potentiometer to adjust the takeup spool speed. I use Blender's video editor for all the post processing, and it has all the features you mention. I don't do color correction, because I have the lamp rated at 3600 K and the camera set at 3600 K.
You have given me great ideas for my scanner design. If you see my channel you will see I do time lapse videos with a modified camera. Eg tulip 21 day time lapse. This is slow way to scan film but much better quality, after all some of my plant videos were one frame every 15 mins. Time is not an issue when scanning valuable family film.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear you liked it! Read my blog for the details.
Amazing. Any result footage from the film?
Btw why halogen lamp and not the LED one?
