I like that this hobby is still happening. I used to shoot regular 8 in 2003/04 and had a lot of fun learning all about it. The discipline of shooting 7 to 15 seconds on a wind up camera makes for a better camera operator when switching over to video. and the film editing process also gives you a greater appreciation when you work in a digital format. I would often make films featuring people, while winding the camera I would prep them about how this is silent and talking to the camera is pointless, instead, do something demonstrative. Great fun. Cameras are cheap, and so are projectors. The advantage of Reg 8 is that the projectors are almost always manual and are much more likely to have frame rate adjustments, as compared to Super 8 which is almost always automatic feeding and designed to be simple and idiot proof. I've had those projectors eat my Super 8 film and destroy sprocket holes, sad and expensive.
I just bought a pristine Bell and Howell Canon Cine Canonet 8 without realizing it wasn’t super 8mm but so excited regular 8mm is now available. Definitely buying a roll of the color films.
YAY!!! I recently dug out my Keystone 8 mm camera that has been in my family since the late 50's or early 60's It was disappointing that I could only get B&W, now I have an option. Thank you !!
It would be cool if there was a service where you could have prints made from your camera negative so you can run your movie through a projector. Really loving the color reproduction on this film stock you’re showing.
I always see a ton of great 8mm cameras at flea markets, but I've always been turned off by the potential difficulty of loading it. I've always liked the ease of Super 8. Is it relatively easy to load a roll of 8mm?
One thing I always loved about Reg 8mm film and loading the spools is that you get that neat looking light leak of orange around the edges and the artifacts in the film when the 2 halves are spliced in the middle of the 50ft. Also my little 8mm camera had a single frame button so I could do stop motion easily.
I love the engineering on 8mm cameras. Super8 got away largely from turret mounts and wind up mechanisms. I have a Bolex that I've never used, and a great old Yashica T8. Need to buy some of this ASAP
This is amazing, over the summer I bought a 1951 Miller cine model 3. It’s in fantastic condition but I couldn’t find anywhere to get film. I’m so happy.
I don't care if it's only available in negative stock, it's just so awesome that color standard 8mm film is finally back in production and available to the public once again.
Welp Mike, you sucked me down the Black Hole AGAIN! Now, in addition to shooting my bevy of vintage still cameras, with real film (courtesy of FPP), I just snagged (my first) wind up movie camera: a NOS Bolex C8 - said to be called "the Swiss watch of the Double 8 world". LOL. Hope it lives up to its reputation. (Maybe someday, an H16). I'll certainly be trying some of this nifty colour film you have here, though doing a little head scratching on using film with ISO faster than what the camera can be set at... I guess I'll have to review how me old manual light meter works. Thanks so very for your fine efforts, informative videos, and endless enthusiasms! Kindest Regards, Mic.
@@FilmPhotographyProject LOL. I meant, only a "Black Hole" in the sense, that a lot of this great old stuff, is an unknown to many today... and the exploration of it, is kind of a rediscovery of sorts. I.E. - Nothing Negative.
Great stuff! So, if it's a color negarive film, is it turned into positive at the scanning stage, or how does that happen? I have so far used only Color Reversal, and the FOMA B/W reversal.

Hi there, I recently bought a 8mm camera and I've been looking to buy film for it and I've been looking everywhere and you guys seem to be the only ones producing color negative double 8mm, but the website says out of stock, when are you guys re-stocking?

Positive film is also interesting because it allows you to watch from a movie projector, 8mm film is more interesting than video recording because each frame is like a new matrix
No, Sean. You can not. Regular 8mm is 16mm wide. Super 8 is 8mm wide. You can only use properly perforated Double 8 film. US - filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/double-8 / UK - EU - analoguewonderland.co.uk/collections/8mm-movie-film
"The standard spool size for amateur use contains 25 ft of film, giving a total of 50 ft available for projection; at the usual filming speed of 16 frames per second this gives about four minutes of footage." - Wiki
Well it's time to get a 8mm camera , so about camera I found an old brownies 8mm camera , I think for the price would be great anything bad about old brownies 8mm camera ? Edit it's the same one that appears on the most right at 2:09
Sadly 8mm Sound film is defunct - discontinued decades ago. Although not perfect sync, you can shoot at 24 frames per second and record your sound separate. I know, not as fun. Do not recommend buying old sound film on eBay. It will look really terrible and may not produce a picture at all. - Mike Raso
The film has a very good picture quality. However, you have to thread 8mm film in the dark, which is not always easy. The advantage, however, is that 8mm cameras are mostly mechanical and require no or common batteries. Cameras from the 1950s still work flawlessly today. For today's consumers, however, Super 8 would be easier to use. It is easier to change a cartridge. That's easy and anyone can do without any prior knowledge. However, some cameras for the light meter require special battery, some of which are no longer manufactured. Nevertheless, it would be ideal for younger filmmakers to offer the film in Super-8 cartridges.
Cine8 BW Reversal - Can be projected or scanned Cine 8 Color Negative - Color negative film is not for projection - it is perfect for scanning to HD digital file.
Does the resolution get any better than the HD video above or is that about it? I can imagine the lens makes quite a difference as well as steadiness of the camera. Are there different levels of scanning 8mm films like there are for stills?

The FPP offers HD, 2k and 4k scans - filmphotographystore.com/collections/fpp-scanning-services/products/film-scanning-services-super-8-regular-8mm The image is effected by whatever camera / lens you are using.
@@michaelraso I would party if it comes through but if/when it does I hope it isn't the same cost as super 8 positive, I do my own developing cause I love it and it is cheaper. I do have a super 8 that I am going to do a short (30 minute) film, but then it will be retired in favor of cheaper 16mm. I like your channel and the wonderful old cameras. I have been shooting since the 70s as a kid and still can't stand digital! Only use if for stuff I need quickly for web posting and the like.
I tried printing regular 8mm but could not get proper film as what I had was slit too wide, then, using the same film I shot with, which was a correct width, the results were unsteady and I gave up. However, there is a roller that was not screwed down tight during printing and I may try printing 8mm again. I have a Uhler Cine Printer and get fantastic results with 16mm film prints.
