yes celluloid is naturally stretchy and occasionally the reel will hit a quick snag and crank tooth tugs a little on the film and leaves it slightly distorted, it’s the mark of a good film that has been played many times, and it’s associated with a certain analog jitter that modern movies lack
not quite — film sizes are more or less standardized (110, 35mm, 120, 4x5, …) but the sprockets on the independent sides are offset slightly. where you get more imprecision is sometimes with the camera itself, i.e. some TLRs would prolly drive david up a wall.

Took me a solid few minutes and going to the GitHub fix to see the before and after version to finally notice it!
Funny how after noticing the third one I totally missed that one!
Brains are weird lol
Glad I’m not the only one who missed it at first though lol
if it were too perfect it'd look weird
