Rather annoyingly my new game is not being indexed in the search of itch io - technovisual.itch.io/fitgame - however the suggestion is a bit of traffic coming through from external sites that may kick it into action - if everyone could have a quick look that would be really cool - cheers m'dears 😘

Myth Confirmed! Youtube shorts use a FUBAR compression setting which you can't change 🤨 (or not as far as I can see 👀)

I didn't use paint for my studio, I had a fabric backdrop - but the most important part is lighting - it must be evenly lit - I used long florescent tubes around the background and a couple of defuse boxes uplighting + one key-light from above/behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Vi...

This is the frame registration - the fly-wheel turns with a stepper motor and contacts with a piece of copper tape - if it hasn't reached the copper tape then the motor advances another step until the green led lights - then we're good to go with the frame capture.

Captured using a Raspberry Pi with Picamera (HQ) in HD from a 16mm cine film nearly 80 years old! The film runs at 24 frames per second but I have upsampled it to 60fps - the sound was captured separately using an optical sound read head on a Bell and Howell Filmosound.
