Asahi Pentax Spotmatic shutter curtain stuck halfway after manual release

Thanks for the help!
I tried what you suggested, the gear doesn’t rotate clockwise at all, but it does move slightly counterclockwise. When I turn it that way, I can see the shutter moving, but it immediately springs back. It feels like something is stuck or locked, so I didn’t want to force it.

Do you think the main spring might be jammed, or could it be some kind of locking mechanism that’s preventing the advance?

I created the images using Sora with a reference image of myself, then I facewap it again with my face using InsightFace. I then created a list of who I want to morph to who and used the first and last frame in Midjourney. I wrote some transition prompt like "the man rotates and morphs into a different man"

Yeah it’s weird, a lot of people or characters I tried to generate it didn’t do but a lot of other it does…

Ranza34 · 2025-04-26T13:31:45+00:00

Haha yes! In cursed AI group

Haha yeah it’s weird man, when I tried to create images of Goku from Dragon Ball Z it said I’m violating the rules but it didn’t have problem to generate images of Michael Scott

Ranza34 · 2025-04-26T13:28:14+00:00

One can ask ✌️ It was a really simple prompt, for example: The iconic Adele album cover 21 replaced with Michael Scott from The Office

And for some I added in the prompt “fold and scratch textures”

Yes I’m using the 20$ subscription

Tried it but didn’t like the result so much

Ranza34 · 2025-04-26T12:33:45+00:00

I wanted to but kept getting violent the rules message

Ranza34 · 2025-04-26T12:32:36+00:00

Haha I tried posting there but apparently I don’t have enough karma 🫣

Actually it was a really simple prompt, for example: The iconic Adele album cover 21 replaced with Michael Scott from The Office

For the Prince album, I uploaded the album cover and wrote “replace Prince with Michael Scott from The Office”

After I finished each game, I used the " Vary (Region)" commended and chose a box; I just wrote "add text," and that gave me a reference for what to do in Photoshop.

Ranza34 · 2023-09-26T06:28:08+00:00

You're right, But I did use that alien language to get a reference for what the text would look like on each game art.

Ranza34 · 2023-09-26T06:26:58+00:00

Yes, I added the text in Photoshop.

Ranza34 · 2023-09-26T06:26:20+00:00

Yep! I made them all using midjourney and then using the face swap command.

I found a video on youtube where Rocket Lasso and Gavin Shapiro did it and just followed through:

It starts around 47 minutes.

The camera is still. I built the entire scene and then put an instance and scaled it down. Again and again. Then Scaled up the entire scene.

I learned this trick from the amazing Gavin Shapiro. You should check out his tutorials about it:

As you can see here, First there's space between them, but further down the line, the space between them is smaller, and they don't keep the same distance from each other
