Mel Brooks once said:

"What is the toughest thing about making film? Putting in the little holes. The sprocket holes are the hardest thing to make. Everything else is easy, but all night you have to sit with that little puncher and make the holes on the side of the film. You could faint from that work. The rest is easy: the script is easy, the acting is easy, the directing is a breeze…but the sprockets will tear your heart out."

-but I never thought I'd really see someone doing them by hand!

I think if someone can create a tool similar to paper punch, it will make easier.

I believe there is a tool like that. How about people making 8mm from 16 mm stock?

cheers,

10 out of 10 for ingenuity. You have to give the guy credit for trying.
