[Frameworks] Laser pointer optical printing

[Beebe, Roger W.]

Morgan,

I’ve experimented with this a little, and have had very mixed results.  I bought some green lasers online (since red-blind stocks wouldn’t respond much to a red laser—or so was my thinking), and my first tests made it seem fairly straightforward.  However, attempts to replicate the early successes were unsuccessful—partially because the lasers were cheaply made and seemed to produce a very uneven light—and I haven’t continued to pursue it.

Not especially helpful, I know, but maybe it means the field is wide open for you…

Best,
Roger

I have two rolls of 35mm fil. One is a collection of trailers and logos the other is an unexposed 100ft roll of tri-X. After seeing an example of Tscherkassky's optical printing process I desperately wanted to try some myself. Has anyone else tried this technique before?
