Shoot B/W 16mm of a projected video image?

[nickrayharris]

Hi,

I plan to shoot a 16mm, B/W, silent film using a Bolex.

The script calls for moving images projected on a wall.

The plan is to shoot these images in video, and project them with a digital projector. Then shoot that in the scene with the Bolex.

Will this work? And is there any advice you can offer?

My initial concern is the frame rate of the video shot and then projected, as well as the projector being bright enough to come up on the 16mm.

Thanks,

Nick Ray Harris

You shouldn't have a problem. I've shot projected images before on film. I don't know the exact number, but you'd want to avoid shooting at high frame rights to avoid flicker. Not that you'll have that problem on a bolex. Assuming you're shooting at 24fps. It'll show up if you expose it correctly.
