I often read these forums but only respond on rare occasion.
I honestly dont understand the emotion attached to many comments here. I primarily create moving oil paintings (www.oilandplasma.com) and shoot using 16, S8, hdv, and DV. All formats are wonderful. Its like saying what size brush do you want to use?
Super 8 has a beautiful and unique look as do other formats. Isnt it suppose to be that the story should be the primary influence?
Perhaps there is some penis or mm envy through this thread? Guys (not many women here - too bad), its not the size of the film, but how you use it.
With a current work in process, super 8 is THE best asset for my purpose Its soft, with pronounced grain and just perfect.
Mr. Mullins recent comments re: HD vs S16 are pointed and relevent. He doesn't appear to have any agenda. Its only a tool. Use the tool that fits the job. If a better tool is created, use it.
