creating a spiral film strip
I’m trying to create a film strip in a spiral shape. I’ve used a helix spline and rectangle spline and applied a sweep NURBs. This has given me spiraled ribbon shape I need. I am now trying to apply the film frame texture to the object but can’t get the film frames to run along the spiral, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I happen to stumbled upon this apparently 2 years late but I needed the answer and after paying around for a bit and googleing I figured It out. I thought it would be nice to post the answer for future reference.
My solution was to use a cube setup as film roll straight. Then use a spline warp(mograph) to warp it with a spline. I originally tried like like Paul Maynard but texture would not come out right unless it was straight. Which is ok but chances our you need the film to roll and bank. But this way with cube projection on UVW Mapping and warping the whole object(I think) there is no issue of distortions on the texture.
Below is what I made to figure it out. There’s a bunch of tuts now for spline warp

Very nice Greg, this was really help. Quick question. How would you go about putting actual transparency in the film strip holes on the side if you wanted the background to show through?

Actual with this method you can. I seem to have had a sky object that was casting a reflection into the holes making it the texture image I had on the sky instead of see through.
I fixed this by just putting an compsiting tag on the sky object and checking of seen by reflections and refractions.
