Certainly plan to shoot/dev/scan to disk - then Edit up o the Mac an put it online
Assuming anything comes out of course!
Tim, that camera is cool looking - like a Dr Who robot
Somewhere in my past is a very similar 8mm splicer block, and those pre-perforated splice tapes - but attached to an editor/viewer set-up, that allowed you to hand wind your movie backwards and forwards, and view it on a small screen as you selected the edit point.
I used to shoot sci-fi movies with my best friend Jonathan, and edit them together - we must have been 13 years old or so, and we used the (then new) Lego space models for our props.
Seem to remember we had a 'huge' moon base set in the garage, with real moon dust made of talcum powder and grey powder paint. Space was just a huge sheet of black velvet material which absorbed light nicely - and we had 2 or 3 photoflood lights.
We employed my sister as a special effects extra, she had to blow a bicycle pump at the right moment to simulate the jet wash for a landing spacecraft LOL
We made 'laser beams' out of shiny Christmas wrapping tape, and even made proper titles using stick on vinyl lettering on black card.
We were super pro!
We even filmed a crashing lego spacecraft at double speed, so it would play back in slow-mo as it disintegrated.
I had inherited my granddads Eumig C6 so that was the camera of choice
it was great fun waiting for the film to come back from Kodak and having a 'rushes' screening in the dining room on the Eumig projector.
Our follow-up space classic, about an asteroid on course to hit the earth, and a fleet of space shuttles launched to save mankind with huge nuclear bombs, was never made...
Well not by us any way!
