I am interested in the production history of a film, so I am doing the academic exercise of documenting the edgecodes (generally Eastman/Kodak film stocks from 1974-1983) for each of the films generations (in-camera negative, post production work steps, interneg/pos, final theater print) with the goal of identifying when the film changed and to learn about the work involved in the early film print versions which was lost as the film evolved afterwards.
An example of the edgecodes to read/document:
[1983 Date Code with an earlier generation EASTMAN film stock underneath]
Will be finding out if the KeyKode reader can produce consistent results. But as many of the codes are written on top of each other and are faded to different degrees, much of this research/verification might end up being looking at the full scans, as the prints suffer from VS and are difficult to be around for long periods of time.
So asking if anyone else has done the full edge to edge 35mm capture or something similar with the Cintel Scanner, or maybe a combination of Black Magic Design equipment. Can the Cintel be sync'd with another Black Magic Design camera so they share the same shutter speed? While the scanner worked in it's traditional functionality, a second camera could be doing the full capture a few frames behind.
Thank you,
