Edit: reels?! You don’t have a god damn flashlight and a wall?! I can still watch my dad’s old 8mm tapes this way. It just doesn’t have a consistent frame rate 🤷🏻♂️
This is accurate. I mostly know Ampex because of their history with audio recording, but I’m passingly familiar with some of the other things they did.
Pretty sure you’re also going to need a focusing lens and a shutter to not have it just be a smear on the wall.
But it’s not projector film, anyway. Magnetic tape also came on reels back in the day. Mainframes were using them for long term storage. There were also reel-to-reel music players.
Lemme guess; it’s on BetaMax?

I don’t think it’s that kind of reel. Idk anything about Ampex but it’s probably magnetic tape

Tapes, not film.
