Scott, all Been meaning to send this in response to the discussion but it took me a moment to dig up the link. This is different than what the initial question was asking but maybe useful or exciting for folks working with generating alternate/DIY soundtracks (esp 35mm).
The Phillips Miller System was briefly used by the BBC and involved cutting a soundtrack directly into opaque film emulsion. One could imagine rigging up something similar with the desktop laser cutter/engravers that are popular with the crafting community. These laser cutters are not especially powerful but used for die-cutting fabric, cardboard, and balsa wood and I have seen many examples people using them to "engrave" through a layer of paint, so I imagine you could set the intensity to something that would "etch" through emulsion but leave the base intact. Of course legibility and precision will always be a challenge but could be a really exciting area to experiment in. http://www.orbem.co.uk/tapes/pm.htm As for traditionally made opticals here in the US, SD Audio shoots very good opticals that are then processed at Fotokem and offers a good rate compared to the domestic competition. http://www.simondanielsound.com/ <[email protected]> feel free to mention that I sent you if you end up contacting him.
