No not 8mm video or Hi8 video, you know the type mum and dad had or in Kevin's case, great Uncle Ernie who touches him in that special way!

Takes film like stills cameras use to have, remember?

 

So anyone got one?

 

And FYI anyone that has a roll or 5 of kodachrome, whether it be super 8, 35mm slide film, etc, you only have until the end of the year to get it developed as Kodak are ceasing the production of the developing chemicals.

Used to have about 3, made all my early masterworks on them (the image is so much more warm and organic compared to video) till I got hold of a 16mm. I used to love adding sound to the little sound strip on the edge - I had a S8 editor/viewer on which you could dub sound as well.

Super 8 sound film = Dodo bird <_<

 

Only for the shear hell of it. Of course for serious stuff you transfer all your S8 over to hi band and then add sound later. Tiny bits of in sync dialogue was still possible with sound super 8 and you didn't have to carry a Nagra around with you. :angry:
