>From this old home computer I couldn't see any of the images people speak of, but I managed to go online elsewhere and see all the images at the discussion site at last. My inspiration is renewed! I have been interested in pinhole imagery for filmmaking purposes and love the spirit in which peanut-butter and cracker (or a watermelon) can be used. Anyway, several of you gave me helpful tips on making a pinhole movie camera, tips most of which I couldn't take advantage of. The whole issue in previous discussion turned on how to maintain registration, an especially difficult problem with someone who resists the costs, time, and care necessary to build a pinhole camera allowing for such control (thus my appreciation of cracker "lenses") as I do. Anyway, there is a genre of experimental film in which the artists just lays the film out and stamps, paints, and scratches it, then processes it sloppily and awaits the surprises in projection. Film frames are ignored. Registration is ignored. In this spirit I am making a pinhole movie with a cardboard box. My stamped images will fall hither and thither and jump around the screen upon projection. The gate of the camera is actually about half the height of the frame, so there may even be times when two images are on screen at once. If I manage to get anything like the imagery you guys produce, I will be very happy.
