I've been getting into shooting my own 8mm thanks to the Film Photography Project, and as I've been exploring projectors/prints I've been wondering how possible it would be to add a magnetic strip to my own films so that they can play sound in a projector. I know its not a complete pipe dream; There's an archived feature on amateur Super 8 film making by Kodak (attached below), in which the host mentions in passing that a magnetic soundtrack can be added to a film after its been edited. However, I can't find any resources on what that process consisted of or any of the equipment used. I also know that Standard 8 was capable of accepting a soundtrack between the sprockets and the edge of the film, but that seems to have been very rare and thus I, again, cannot find any examples of it being done.
I had a very broad idea for a machine that would be capable of doing this, so pictured below, but before I figured I'd pose the question and propose the design to the community before I invest much more time into it. Do you guys think this is feasible? Does anyone have more information on how this was done historically?
