I have a huge problem with a 100 ft. roll of 16mm film that I shot on a Bolex camera. Apparantly there was a problem with the loop formers on the camera, and whenever I play my film through the projector it jumps around alot (think of a VHS tape with horrible tracking.)
The problem is that the actual filmed frames are not aligned with some of the perforations on the film because of the problem with the camera. Is there any possible way to fix this problem so that it will run through the projector? I have to present my film next Thursday so this really is horrible.
I know it probably can't be fixed, but it's worth a shot to ask...
Unfortunately, I doubt there's any quick way to get the film (or a direct print of the film) to run through a projector.
As long as the frames don't overlap, I would think that you could send it off to a specialty film scanning place and they might be able to do something with it... but you'd probably have to pay quite a bit.

Yeah, without a lot of money I think you're stuffed. You may have to claim it was an artistic choice :).
