Super 8 mm film is a motion-picture film format released in 1965 by Eastman Kodak as an improvement over the older "Double" or "Regular" 8mm home movie format. Super 8mm is nominally 8 mm wide, the same as older Standard 8mm, but the dimensions of the rectangular perforations along one edge are smaller, which allows for a greater exposed area. The Super 8 standard also allocates the border opposite the perforations for an oxide stripe upon which sound can be magnetically recorded.

"An entertaining film, rather than a catalog of family history" - nothing changes. The advice for creating shots is as valid today as it was then, only the technology has changed. You could make engaging movies with your mobile phone now, if you follow the avice in the beginning of this film.
Most enjoyable...thank you
A lot of little points I never knew as a silent Super-8 user whose dad never went beyond a basic Argus. Serrated splices? Mag striper? Nice!
Narrated by MacDonald Cary, as in Days of Our Lives?
Yes that MacDonald Cary. The young actor making the film was on the Brady Bunch as Harvey Klinger the insect obsessed nerd that Marcia was in love with.
The actor playing the young filmmaker also played Harvey Klinger the insect obsessed nerd that Marcia Brady was in love with on The Brady Bunch.
👍
The guy in the film I think is using a Bauer A2 or A3?
"Yes Sir, 1 Super 8 Camera ... , 1 video editing suite, 1 analog audio studio, film, magnetic tape, and processing,... that comes out to $9,638 and 27 cents. Will that be cash or cash?"
Somebody doesn't know how to shop for materials and equipment correctly and it shows.
@@SnepperStepTVeBay. Just got a pair of Nikon 8X super zooms
This is real filmmaking right here. Tape is great for video, but modern digital is the tool of amateurs who have nothing to say, just distractions from life.
I grew up with and prefer the aesthetics of movies shot on film and projected on film. It’s a look I am used to from viewing countless film prints during the ‘80s-‘00s, and working in a projection booth. Out of the hundreds of indie and major studio feature films being released in 2023, something like 19 were either completely or partially captured on film. For better or worse, digital long ago usurped film as a professional production and theatrical projection medium. At this point, suggesting digital is a “tool of amateurs” is just silly.
@@Mr_Hugh_Janusyep digital not 2001 Sony mavica quality anymore that’s for sure!
“Professional quality “. THIS VIDEO is no where near PROFESSIONAL QUALITY!
Especially compared to 16 or 35mm quality. Let's call it a promo film to boost 8mm sales. ;)
He's left handed so he's clearly very intelligent !!! His movie will be a masterpiece.
