Here's a video of my DIY telecine machine in action. It's made from an old cigar box and Lego, stuck together with superglue and duct tape. The camera is the Nikon D3100, which is much outdated and it's very difficult to find software to control it remotely. In the end I've settled on the program TetherMonkey for Android tablets, (free with adverts, small fee for advert free).The lens is an old Sigma 1:1 macro.
The advance movement is top of the range: hand-operated pin. The tablet is tethered to the camera with a standard cable plus a cable adaptor I bought for about £1.25, so the total cost of the build including the software is about £5. I use this for all my telecine work, as I don't have a working 9.5mm projector at the moment.
Marvel at the speed:an average of 1 frame every 2 second. No video trickery here, I promise!
