Lumiero Handheld Projector

LUMIERO is a small handheld 35mm projector designed for expanded cinema purposes. It can handle up to 20m of film, utilizing a camera flash as its light source - a feature that will be modified in future versions. With LUMIERO, artists are no longer confined to traditional 24frames per second constraints; instead, framerate is adjusted by altering the speed at which the crank is operated. The light pulsates once for every frame, eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter mechanism while ensuring perfect synchronization between light and film. Future upgrades may include a lightsound decoder for incorporating sound into silent films. This proof of concept still faces mechanical issues, primarily with the Geneva mechanism in various stages of projection, as well as the lack of a spooling mechanism causing film to end up on the floor.
