Excellent video, thank you very much for sharing.
Great Tutorial!! Everything in it is usefull and informative including the materials and lighting. I learned alot and found use for my personal project. I will be proud to list Blendertime in the credits for project. Keep the tutorials comming!
Very nice tutorial! I have one question regarding the animation of the cylinders for the strip. They’re continuously turning. Do you animate every turn or is it possible to just copy/repeat the first turn? How do you do that? Any link, tut or tipp, etc. would be very appreciated! Thx!

Thanks for this and all the other great tutorials on your site! You’ve helped me learn a lot already.
In this example, the film strip is already in place and threaded, but would the technique also work if you wanted to animate the threading of the film through and around the various spools?
Thanks again!

Actually, I figured out that the answer is “yes.” Basically, you first animate your film strip along the curve without offsetting the texture. This takes care of the “threading the filmstrip” part. Then, once the filmstrip is fully threaded, you stop animating the filmstrip itself and switch to the offset texture method you teach here.

Sorry for delay in answer. As you said, this is one of the ways to do it.
Thank you for this tutorial, quality of content and instruction was excellent.
