Really difficult because either the shutter opening time has to be perfect or the CRT scan has to be electronically gated so that no light or dark shutter bar appears in the center of alternate film frames.

Remember that the film weave you see could be in the camera that made the original film or in the projector used to convert it back to video or in any intermediate film apparatus used to get to the final film print. Being this bad does indicate experimental gear somewhere in the chain, but doesn't tell where.

Your assuming 24fps film on the original camera, I'm assuming 30fps... If it was experimental why let the process be constrained by a standard difference that need not be fixed in stone.
