Photographer and computer science undergrad student Joshua Bird has created a 3D-printed movie camera that uses standard 35mm photo film and has electronic control of Canon EF lenses.
made by reusing ones salvaged from disposable cameras, but this time went above and beyond and designed, 3D printed, and built a custom film movie camera.
“To try [and] squeeze more footage into these rolls of film, I reduced the image size by a factor of 8, giving us 36*8=288 photos per roll,” he says. “This brings us to about 16 seconds of video per roll of film.”Bird says that this project was a perfect combination of all of his interests: CAD modeling, 3D printing, embedded programming, film photography, camera design, machine vision and so much more.
He actually even managed to get his camera to control the lens aperture by using a massive 100-page PDF that reverse engineer’s Canon’s EF lens protocols — a document that was originally in French and needed to be translated.“So I sent the pdf through Google translate and read over all 100 pages of poorly translated documentation,” he says.
“If everything has gone properly, the developed film should contain a couple hundred thumbnail-sized images. Now we have to do the most tedious step: digitally scanning all of these photos,” Bird says. Once the negatives were scanned, he inverted them to positives and then used machine vision to align the images.
