A Roadtrip on SUPER 8

I’ve had a dream of shooting on super 8 film fo years but never did anything about it until a week before my road trip to Bavaria I decided to buy a camera. I had no idea what I was doing but I had a vision. I hope you guys enjoy my first super 8 video and I can’t wait to continue to create beautiful art with this amazing camera. Let me know what you think!
Shot on Kodak Vision 3 200T & Canon 518

This video alone made me go out and pick up a super 8 camera. So nostalgic, almost unbelievably so.

Looks good. I made a film of a trip to Scotland in the 70s using the old style of 8 mm. It was very expensive especially compared with digital video which is effectively free. It concentrates the mind if every time you press the button it's costing money. I don't understand why the sprocket hole is intruding into the picture. I thought the sprocket holes were outside the edge of image.

I'm also trying to understand why there are so many videos with that hole intruding into the picture, it doesn't make sense to me. When i was young i've never seen such thing on a 8mm film.

[@AlanRPaine]

@@Newemka I think its just a weird thing that some people add to make it clear that we are watching an actual film or to give the illusion that we are watching a film. But it would be crazy to manufacture film with the emulsion going over into the line of the sprocket holes. No one ever made film like that. The emulsion is expensive and contains light sensitive compounds of silver

[@NOawesomeWITHOUTme]

it’s bc it’s shot on super 8mm film which gives a wider picture by taking up the space where the sound would have been recorded and this is what you see before it’s cropped

[@Schneeeulenwetter]

@@Newemka IT Depends on scanning. you can add it if you scann it on a wider frame (some photography houses give you the option to chose others not. (he technically could have cropped it)

[@Newemka]

@@Schneeeulenwetter Yeah, i've asked around and got answers, you're right and this video is legit. Now I get mad when i see bad filters that mimic badly this kind of images in video editing or instagram (I've seen many video with the picture inside the hole... face palm)

[@Capturia]

words can't describe how breath taking this is :")

[@frizell10]

looks great! what makes this footage so much more clear than most super 8 footage i see on youtube? is it the specific film you used, or just a high end camera?

[@pinepins]

So ein tolles Video... da hat sich die Arbeit und Liebe die du reingesteckt hast auf jeden Fall so richtig gelohnt!

[@LaquiooX]

Freut mich von dir zu hören. Danke! :-)

[@kyhrenjoycentillas4721]

What's the title of the background btw?

[@jjjumpman23]

Great man. Shot a bunch a while ago and have to get more scanned. I just uploaded a small clip. Keep it up this is cool af

[@monasheesh]

Amazing stuff! How many rolls of film (tapes) did you use for the road trip?

[@hayek77ishida76]

Maybe a stupid question but could I make a movie with this camera? I dont know many things about camera's. And i wanna make a movie.

[@francisrogers2146]

Hey Sven! My name is Francis and I'm an independent filmmaker based in Berlin, Germany from Canada! I wanted to ask you if it's possible to use your footage in the background of a music video I am shooting with some friends. It would be projected on the wall within the set design of a music video. Let me know if you would be okay with this and of course, being included in the credits. Thanks!! Cheers
