Pa-Cine (for Matt's version)

Tele-M8

8Matic as in automatic or enigmatic

DV8 as in deviate (clever huh?)

By the way, how did your space ship model shot work out? Did you build the nodal point head?

In the end I decided on a static camera, but I havent got around to shooting it yet. I had the model very nearly finished when I left for uni though, so I'll probably shoot it at christmas.

I do have my camera at uni with me though, and I'm planning to get some footage of my friend surfing in the mean time.

How could I use a Minolta 400 Super 8mm camera with that? The camera has a interval meter with adjustable settings. Could I copy S8 films? to S8 film?

Either the WP-2 or the WP-3 would work for copying super 8 to super 8. However, you would not use the interval meter. Instead, you would use an RCA to mini (or submini) cable so that the WorkPrinter would trigger your camera automatically (in the single frame mode) for each frame change.

The WP-2 can run as slow as 4 fps but whether or not your camera can keep up with that rate for a long period would be the question. The WP-3 runs at only 1 fps so it would work perfectly.
