super8filmaker magazine

Issues 3 and 4 have been added. I'm going to stop for a while until I can modify my site to intergrate these pages. Anyway I hope some of this is useful. The next addition will have the 1980's sound camera buyer's guide. Anyway the link again is: http://www.super8mm.org/html/super8f..._magazine.html

Do you have the May issue that shows how to modify a projector for a 1/F pulse output? I forgot which year, either 80 or 81. My library has tons of issues from 74,75,78, and 79, 80, and 81, except for the issue I asked about above. I actually "borrowed" them over the summer and read them all twice through. If your dying for a specific issue, I could probably get the articles and photocopy them in library.

I was actually wondering if people would be interested in photocopied "tools and tricks" sections from each issue to be made into little books for say $5. Maybe they could benefit a lot of people.

Great idea. I'd pay for a good photocopy.

That would be nice. It would be nicer if we had a PDF library of every issue online for anyone to read, but as I recall the library doesn't allow you to removed the magazines.

I plan to put the important articles of 1980 (Volume 8) and 1981 (Volume 9) online as part of the website. I think other artciles of importance which I can get my hands on (Like that modify a projector for a 1/F pulse output or build the 1khz generator from a morse code kit at radio shack) will be added as I find them.

Will someone bring that photocopies they have to the next Super8mm Meeting!!!

A small digital still camera (1.3MP) could be used in the library with available light and a small tripod to copy pages. Those files could go right into your web and would be much better than photocopies.

I have a couple stacks of old S8 magazines, don't have access now as they are in a storrage place while work on the studio progresses.

I'd be interested in How To articles on 3d filming. I have one that seems possible to make using red and green filters, mirrors etc..

If you contact me in May when I move back in, I will copy them and send them to you.

Well getting the images is no problem. My library has a photo copy center right inside. Also, not to burn the future of Super 8 at my library or anything (even though the last time a Super 8 Filmmaker was checked out was back in 89') You can just tear the tools and tricks sections out because they have perforations down the side. I do believe in preserving the material for future filmmakers though, so I don't think I will do that. I am just wondering other than tools and tricks, what people are interested in from the magazines. Justin, when will the 1/F pulse mod be up on your site?

I now have Vol 8, Number 1-7 on the website. I'm stopping here until I can get Num 7 of Vol 8 and Number 1 or Vol 9.

One of the articles I put online states:
> You can also make a cable and pulse generator from a Morse code
> oscillator from Radio Shack) or even from a battery (Vol. 4, No. 3/1976).

So I'll put the pulse mod on the website just as soon as I get Vol 4 Num 3 of the Super8Filmaker magazine.
