In the early 1900's, #film was often presented to audiences using a hand-cranked #projector. For the past 2 years at the #AMIA #convention we've brought a #wireless wooden hand-crank box that controls a Blackmagic Design Hyper Deck, which would allow us to replicate that early form of #exhibition. Now, we've added a motion-controlled #iPhone #app to allow for hand-cranked #4K projection of film scans. This early hand-colored #silentfilm was made by Segundo de Chamón and featured Georges Méliès. We'd like to think they would appreciate our little bit of #movie #magic. #ShootFilm #WeLoveFilm #KeepFilmAlive #digital #silentcinema #archive #blackandwhite #color #classiccinema
