Looked at it a few years ago, the gate stuff was meh, bought a good old projector off ebay, added a 95 CRI led instead of the bulb and replaced the motor with a stepper to accurately control film advance and used a modified canon with magic lantern firmware to do the capture with silent shutter to not kill the camera or use beyond video resolution (which is overkill, i know, but I wanted both hdr and wdr so multi shots). Fun little project if you have the image processing knowledge. Else, the lazy best bang for the buck deal is getting a wolverine film digitizer, too bad the firmware isn’t open tho.

Got any further info or photos to share of your project? I was going to build a film scanner a few years ago to digitize some rare 16mm films I own, but at the time I didn't totally know what I was doing and got caught up in other things. Now I've been thinking of starting that project again. Unfortunately, Wolverine doesn't make any scanners for 16mm as far as I can tell.
