Kodak’s Super 8 Film: Getting Started

This absolutely has inspired me to pursue super 8. Great quarantine hobby

Hi thank you so much for all your great videos question I like to shoot a wedding that Will Take Place in Side een Outside is het best to use 200t film with a filter? Is it Possible to use One film Why would you recommend 50D?

This is great! Thank you!

Were the examples used filmed on expired film? In spite of the size of the film you can get very good images on super 8 and 8mm. But those just look terrible.

Hey there! I just got my camera and 2 films (KODAK 50D and 500T) Just wondering if anyone could explain to me which setting on my camera I should use when filming (daylight setting or tungsten setting) my camera has them both and I can’t seem to find online which setting works best for each film and what are the other factors that may play apart such as what kind of lighting situation I’m in etc.

Can you still digitise Kodak Ektachrome film. I’m wanting to digitise the film as well as play it back on a projector. More want to save it as digital but would of liked the option to have both. Any advice you can give will be very much appreciated, thank you

hi i want to get started with this format and recently i'vge got a recorder and with it there was a new cartridge expired in 1976
the camera and film wss saved in a box in the darkness
what do you think?, should i give it a try?

by the way i thinks is a 25 iso film and has 15minutes of recording soo...

Where can I buy super 8 film. I’m having some trouble look for it :/

Do you have any advice for shooting expired Super 8 film or is it kind of just luck of the draw?

I just bought a super 8 camera no Manual this might be dumb but how do I record?

Anything different about the Keystone 8mm?

Great video, but question - why might you choose reversal over non-reversal or vice versa?

are the 50D 200T and 500T tungsten?

FANTASTIC!! A miner detail you left out of the reg 8mm ; You would have to take the film out of the camera and literally turn it around in a dark room or a closet to shoot the hole reel.

Hey, I have an Old Arco Super Eight. Here I just can use rouned cartrigdes, i just find the square shaped one. Some1 may help me out ? Greetings

Found my family's Super 8 instamatic M24 from my childhood...WOW .!!!!! .... how can I tell if the cartridge inside it has film in that needs to be developed ???

it I'm afraid to open it

Amazing video!!! So useful. Thank you

Good stuff dude

Who develops you super 8 film?

Just got a super 8 on eBay. It's actually a model with sound and even came with an expired sound film reel.

I got a super 8 camera a few weeks ago and it came with some cartridges that were unused but they’re like 40 years expired. Can I still use that film or should I get new cartridges?

Thank you for this 😊

Super helpful vid, thank you

Hii, I just started with Super 8 film. I bought a Canon Auto Zoom 518, wich film do I have do buy if I wanted to digitized it? Or all films can be digitized?

Guy, I have in mind this as follow:
Kodak must to create a Digital Camera like Arri or Black Magic, or Sony 4K and it name can be
Kodak Super4
movie maker camera
4 of 4K definition, same as any Sony camera 4K of market, special for all young people or family who want to make movies, and design can considerate that rect-oval upper piece (emulating the compartment for film reel) , but this piece should be the plegable screen viewer and speaker.
The size of camera must be not small, it sizes 9" * 6" * 3". People today wants a camera looks a real movie maker.
Plastic but painted in black mate crinkle for a metallic finishing aparience (like those old 8mm cameras).
What do you say, pretty guy?

Just bought a canon super 8, excited to start shooting, thanks for the vid

Where i can get new films super 8? Ebay? They work? What i should know before buy someting?
Thanks!

Hi which film do you think is superior Pro8's or Kodak's?

Super informative video, thank you!

Thank you for this. So informative and important, especially since the film, developing and digitizing can add up to nearly $150 per 50' roll! But, there is nothing like Super-8. Gorgeous. Evocative. Poetic.

I remember there was a huge difference in picture quality between K-12 (Kodachrome) and E-6 films in Super8 format. This is mostly due to very small picture, which is enlarged many times when projected. Quality of Kodachrome in Super8 format was better than consumer video cameras even in the beginning of 1990' s. This could not be said of E6 films. Especially Agfachrome, which was widely available in Europe, was terrible (grainy and with unnatural colors).

amazing thank uuu just bought my first super 8 camera ;)

I am finding your videos really interesting. I started off in Super 8 many years ago and always loved it. I even had a business transferring old 8mm and Super 8mm to VHS. While I enjoy watching this format, it is clear that modern video quality far surpasses those old film formats. There were some great Super 8 cameras like Beaulieu which had picture quality much better than most of the cameras from that time. Can you show some of those films if they’re available? I would love to see Super 8 used as a professional format but the quality was always iffy to me, considering I can shoot 4K on my phone.

You look like if Andrew Garfield and Jack Dorsey had a child.

I worked with super 8 back in the early to mid 80s and alot of stop motion.

I'm tired of the word Lo-Fi

Awesome job Noah!

Are you the actor from “She’s out of my league”?

Great to see the Eumig 614 D projector featured in your video, and in the closing shot. I have the same projector, which works with both standard 8mm and Super 8 film. I used it recently to transfer several hours of Super 8 footage to digital by doing a screen recording using an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I used the Filmic Pro app which allowed me to set a frame rate of 18fps - the same as the projector frame rate. The results were very good, with virtually no flicker. In Final Cut Pro on my Mac mini, in a 1080p timeline, I used a frame rate of 25fps (I'm in a PAL country). Final Cut Pro conforms the clips to the correct speed by adding an extra frame every few frames - this was not noticeable, with smooth playback. I started with 8mm in 1963, progressing to Super 8 when that was introduced. I still have my original Canon Zoom 518 Super 8 camera. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Great video!

Super 16 app the best emulation film ❤

Thrifted a Kodak Showtime projector in mint condition this week, so finding this video in my recommended was a total godsend, thank you

Where can I find 8mm film reels for my bolex paillard b8??

Hi Friend, I have a Chinon super 8 in my parents houses that I will rescue next summer. This camera is the one that works with sound super 8 film, so, maybe a silly question, but can a Kodachrome 40 regular cartridge fit into this camera?

Hi Noah
Will you be doing a talk or maybe you have done on Raspberry super8 digital cartridge
Would Kodak allow it assuming they still hold patent on cartridge

Your estimate was pretty low! Kodak super 8 camera is only $5,495!

Do cameras like the Nikon R8 handle these modern stocks’ ISO/ASA okay today?

My father recently gave me his Super 8 camera and projector from the sixties and his collection of family films so I am glad that I found your channel and able to learn about this format so I can try it out!
