I wish the focus was better. Thanks for sharing.

True!

Ever, from a videoclipwebsite, that is.

Others have used Super-8 too and had their clips broadcast the old way through television. And had 100-millions of viewers wordl-wide ?

They did some serious work to degrain and clean up that footage. Makes me wonder why bother with 8. Could have shot 16 and had more control on the look. I guess because they can.

Because she/they is/are their own boss? If it must play on 4K TV too they might want to have a reasonble image. Standard S8 may look good for family S8 material but Perry must please more people ?

Such sonic commercial dreck. I would rather listen and watch badly synced post dubbed German punk Super 8 circa 1983.

Well done!

Some Super 8 cameras actually have tripod mounts that work great on wide shots. Just sayin'.

Very nice framing on the closeups and mid-shots.

Heck at least a monopod! Easy to carry one of those hiking. Unfortunately for most, shaking hand held footage = Super 8

Those cameras are small enough just about any modern gimbal could be used as well. I get there was a lot of constraint on the shoot and they were just embracing the simplicity of 8mm. But would love to see 8mm with some production value
