I'm thinking of making rough outlines of each shot using a camcorder before shooting with the Super 8 in an attempt to get things perfect and cut down on wasted film, but yeah you're probobly right, I'll certianly need extra rolls. I am kinda in love with the Super 8 look and would be hard pressed to find a cheap 16mm camera (though it could possibly pay itself off due to film costs?) I'm planning on experimenting quite a bit before starting work on the 30 minute film. I like the idea of some basic montages, quick videos practicing the Tarkovski-esque elements that I'll use later, or demos of planned shots just to get a hang of things, it's just going to be a bit pricy but I guess that's how it goes!

Ok thanks! I'll check 125D out. WOW! This is seriously going to break my bank then, that's like $30 for 3 minutes? That's like $300 for film if I'm making a 30 minute movie. Probobly like $700 in addition to digital processing. Do any of you know a place to buy film for really cheap or get film processed affordably?

Great thank you!! I heard 50D was pretty good. --I know this is a basic question, but what's the projected recording time of a Super8 film cartridge? I'm trying to judge how much I'll need to buy.

Hey! I'm filming a short film this summer which will have alot of nature scenes. I'm really inspired by all of Tarkovski's nature shots, particularly those in Stalker. Some scenes in the begining of Solaris were particularly beautifull as well and the wind scene in The Mirror was amazing. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for how to frame similar shots? It's hard for me to quite place my finger on exactly how Tarkovski pulls it off! Thanks a buch.

I'm shooting a short film this summer using a Super 8 for the first time and was hoping someone could give me a bit of advice as to which film I should look for. I'll be shooting most shots outdoors during the day, and I'm trying to get a kinda lo-fi feel. things get a bit tricky though as I'll also have take some shots at night near a campfire, I feel like a different kind of film might be more appropriate for a shot with such low light. I might also want some sunset shots. Is there any particular film I should look into? Thanks!
