A lot will depend on the quality you require. The LED light source should be mild enough for direct scanning your biggest trouble will be the mechanical coupling arrangement of the projector to the camera and what the focal range is of the camera.

The best way is a commercial projection box but I haven't seen one for a long time. or maybe you can locate an old TV film scanner and replace the vidicon with your Sony camera. This is probably the way I would try.

I used to convert my old 8mm film to tape ( digital) by just shining it on the screen and photograph it with the movie camera. I also had some done professionally and the difference in quality was hardly noticeable due mainly to the quality of 8mm movie film.
