Don’t watch this if you don’t like slimy worms.

Super 8 not crappy enough? Try printing.
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t come up with ideas like this one – it’s just so obvious once you see it:
Jesse England prints out Super 8 and 16mm film strips using a normal inkjet printer and transparency film sheets. After some manual assembly (cutting the strips, punching the sprocket holes) he ends up with a short length of film actually watchable with a standard projector.
The quality clearly doesn’t match commercial film recorders, but it’s a nice and artistic way to visualize the medium itself, especially in the realm of using modern technology to create an old medium, showing the deficiencies of both of them. Someone should hack a printer to automate the process of printing/perforating these strips.
