Hello Matthew:
My name is Brian Durham - I’m an archivist of a sort in north Texas in the United States.
I’ve been collecting film for about 25 years and posting TV commercials and whatnot to YouTube for about 15 years.
I currently use an old Sniper-16 from Moviestuff.tv - it’s an movie projector with an SD camera behind it. It’s an SD rig I got in the 2007 timeframe. It’s been fun trying to keep a Windows 7 machine with a firewire port running to continue to use the thing. It uses a Canopus ADVC-110 to do the A/D conversion to firewire to go into a PC.
I’ve mostly been a lurker on the forums so far - I hope to find an entry point to start working on a v2 Kinograph at some point.
Besides a couple of linux boxes I’ve got a Rasp Pi 3b’s - I was wanting to see if I could use one of those towards scanning. I’ve got the 8 megapixel camera (the prior camera before the new cool one I believe).
I’m an old linux geek - I used to program on the platform but it’s been forever. I convert videos from the native DV AVI format to an mp4 format for uploading via ffmpeg on one of my linux boxes.
I’m not into self-promotion but here’s my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1YXjRzMF6UTX795tmfnw6A
I’m trying to post a new commercial and a new PSA once a week. Everything transferred from film, of course.
My question for Matt - for v2 where’s a good starting point? A hint or a pointer would be nice. Probably covered elsewhere but my apologies.
Thanks -
Brian Durham
