rcgrabbag Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 This is my first post to a super 8 forum. I became curious to see if S8 still had life left, and after googling the past few days, I see it is alive and well. That's cool! The last movie film I shot was almost 17 yrs ago as part of a hobby project. I tore down an old Bell and Howell S8 camera down to the bare essentials and put it what was left of it into the payload section of a model rocket. Great footage as the ground dropped away, spinning ever so slightly. I'm really happy to see one can still get reversal color and b&w films. Too bad sound is gone. Well, I've been so excited to shoot some film that I've been on the hunt for a movie camera. It seems folks have a pretty good opinion about the Canon 1014 XL-S, so I tracked one down and bought it today. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm already planning my first shoot. Probably just a test roll, maybe documenting the spring foliage. Its pretty intense now and I figured it might be a good exercise in color. Any opinions on what film to use? What do you think about my camera choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
