Ack, well that kind of blows the idea out the water a
bit anyway! ;)

I've got in mind mag stripe, and I was basically
wondering how I could get sound on the stripe after
filming.

Interesting, most of my cameras have a 16fps setting.
I thought this was the standard for silent 16mm film
back in the day. What you are saying is that when the
sound projectors arrived they were 18 and 24fps?
Didn't that mean older films were played back too
fast?

*giggle*
You got a point, it's just less hastle in some ways
because I'm toying with the idea of processing the
film in a lomo tank which probably means 50 foot loads
and I'm wondering how far I can make those fifty feet
run. I guess it just means less splices if the film is
slower.
Or a big bucket maybe! ;)
I'm mostly curious.
love
Freya
