Ive been borrowing Nagras from the BBC in Bristol (Thanks go to Iain Hunter) for recent projects involving using tape to record and playback sound but have finally acquired a 4:2 for myself. This will now let me further research several projects that can only use this kind of technology. Essentially an exceptionally well engineered portable sound recording device.
Did the 4th Film Jam at the Cube Cinema on Saturday as part of the Hendo nights that go on there.
We last did film jams over 12 – 14 years ago back in the early days of the Cube. Mega thanks to Rod Maclachlan for coming and jamming.
Had time on Tuesday to reinstate the optical printer to its last assembly. Most functions run ok except the camera. My electronics engineer Kyle is going to help redesign all the circuit controllers so we can expand and enhance the functions of this machine. It was cobbled together to allow blow up printing from S16mm to 35mm. With some extra parts we can build in all sorts of new things.
