OK, glad to see this.
that gives me the plan. when I can afford to make a print and find
some lab willing to run the hand painted original, make a full
aperture interneg and then a print. show either silent or with an
optional track played independently.
Alpha Cine is hesitant, but maybe if I send a sample of the actual
film surface they can give me a better answer.
What are some other lab options for making contact interneg of hand
painted 35mm? preferably here on the West Coast usa.
