Abstract: Described herein is a processing apparatus, film scanner and associated method, such as a processing apparatus for processing motion picture film, comprising an identification module for identifying selected regions of one or more digital images or digital video clips of the film; and an image modification module configured to access or produce data; and modify at least one of the one or more digital images or the digital video clip so as to provide the data in at least one of the selected regions. Advantageously, the selected regions correspond to perforations in the film.

Abstract: Described herein is a film scanner, such as scanner for scanning motion picture film, the film scanner comprising one or more imaging devices configured to collect an image of an imaging area; and a transit system for producing relative motion of the film and the imaging device. Advantageously, at least one of the imaging devices comprises a digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera.
