Ok, so the first step would be to buy a new film roll? If so, what type of film should I get? And of course I still need to buy the camera too.

I found an ad for Kodak Ektachrome 160 sound color film. Can someone tell me what camera I would need for this, and if this would be a good choice for a novice who definitely needs sound in the movies?

I searched for 'asa' & 'film' online but couldn't find what 'asa' is short for.

Thanks, I'll check out both those links. Correct me if I'm wrong (as I said, I'm a novice) but isn't it actually the slower frame rate that distinguishes film from video, more so really than the graininess? Can software such as Rollback address this?

Thanks for all the helpful information. I should have mentioned in my first post that I'm a novice when it comes to cinematography and am not familiar with a lot of technical terms. I've just gotten to the point where I want to see if I can make some of my digital camera videos appear more as though they were shot on film, but there doesn't seem to be any software that does a good job at that - at least none that are affordable. A few instructional videos on youtube showed some before/after examples of video that had supposedly been edited in this way, but honestly, I could barely make out any difference. And of course ideally I'd still prefer to use a genuine movie camera rather than 'cheat' with special software anyway, but I will take into account all those things you cautioned me about.

Can anyone tell me where I can find Super 8 film with color & sound. Several internet searches yielded nothing.
