Daniel Klockenkemper Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've written a series of articles about shooting Super 8, and I'd appreciate some feedback. I work at a camera store / photo lab, and we sometimes have customers bring in a Super 8 camera and want to know how to use it. Since they're generally familiar with photography already, I wrote these articles with that in mind, to explain the conceptual difference between filming movies and shooting still images, and to gather that knowledge into a single resource. I have three parts so far: Part I is a general introduction Part II describes various features of Super 8 movie cameras. Part III covers film stocks, color balance, and camera compatibility. I'm working on part IV, and plan to address where to process the film, where to transfer it to video, how to incorporate sound, and more about the movie-making process. I'd appreciate any comments on the first three parts, as well as any suggestions for topics to cover in part 4. Thank you, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Stevens Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Great stuff. I'd say go over some basics that confuse new 8mm shooters, such as depth of field, aperture, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Blackstock Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Very impressive! One thing that might be handy is a comparison, or "pro's and con's" of different transfer systems, rank, frame by frame, et all. Great work, please keep it up! cheers, Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Stevens Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Also, how certain cameras (the popular ones) actually read the cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
