I don't think it's dumb at all! I think it can
genuinely be made to work. I've got some sprockets
that some really nice person on the list sent me from
a bell and howell projector. I intend to hook it up so
that the two sets of film both pass over the sprockets
keeping them locked together. The sprockets wouldn't
be driven just as jeff says, they would just turn
freely on their axis like the front wheel of a
bicycle, but because they pass over the sprockets they
should remain locked together.
I've no idea what diazo is? Is that sprocketless
microfilm? I was just thinking of using normal movie
and print film.
Also if you are making a painted or abstract film then
maybe the sprockets don' matter as much? :)
Sorry I didn't reply to the earlier mail. I'm quite
distracted on and off by the general bad things, uou
know, England and all that. :(
love
Freya
