How to load ANY Super 8 Film Camera

All these old super 8 cameras can be a bit of a mystery and especially for film sometimes getting this vintage stuff loaded up properly can be confusing at first. Fear not though as Super 8 is one of the easiest formats to load up into a camera so I'm going to take a look at some different models to help you out!

This is awesome! I just found a Minolta auto zoom 8 and this was super helpful!

[@tangyorange6509]

That’s so funny! My first super 8 roll came today! Gonna shoot it on vacation this summer!

I love your work! Super informational. I've run through all your Super 8 content to get ready for my new camera. Are you able to do a video or explain, shooting a roll of film and switching it out mid-roll for a different one. Say for example, a Kodak 50D to 200T due to lack of light and vice versa.

[@alexandracheronis3430]

Do you have any recommendations as to where to send super 8 film once you're ready to have it developed? Maybe somewhere to get a digital copy?

[@notalotofmiles]

Pro8mm you can mail in your film

Love your videos!

[@nikomenicou7304]

im going to sound really ignorant but can you switch out super 8 film packs mid way through shooting?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Yes! You’ll lose about 6 frames that will be exposed at the front of the cartridge, but that’s only a fraction of a second. Keep in mind that your cameras footage counter will reset though so you’ll have to keep track of your footage yourself!

[@nikomenicou7304]

Analog Resurgence thank you so much!

[@gilisokolov4796]

Thanks

[@TheMPhotography]

Thanks for making this video. I am getting into super 8 myself right now. I was wondering how to set the sun and the lightbulb symbol after loading the film. Do I need to leave it always on the sun setting with the Kodak 50D and always on the lightbulb with 200T/500T? What do I need to think of before setting the sun/lightbulb dial?

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

I think the dial is for the T series stock films. Using T film outdoor with the SUN dial marking.

[@KathleenBurgess]

Thanks for this video! How do you know when you’ve gone through all of the film in the cartridge? Just started shooting on a keystone XL304 and there’s no way to track it.

[@j.s.h8161]

Thanks for this video!

[@ajenganugrah6738]

Please make a video about single 8

[@DoctorNewport]

I got a bell and Howell that takes cartridges. Nice working camera but don’t know where to get em or if I have to load it myself

[@onlyifyouarelonely8476]

really like your content, sub!!! btw how do you focus while shooting super8?

[@pamschwartz8456]

I just came across the Argus showmaster 870 camera projector. And I can't remember exactly how to set it up, I am doing something wrong and I can't find a manual for this anywhere on the whole internet. Have you done a video on this projector?

[@bounomejp6423]

Hey do you know where to find a Kodak Duex 8 Cassette cartridge? I bought an old Kodak electric 8 zoom camera at vintage store in Italy and I'm trying to use it.

[@joeybailey9628]

the film length on my super 8 isnt working telling me how much film i have left ....but its running i marked with texter and working is this a major issue?

[@TheUnalteredMyth]

Thanks for the info! Really helpful:) Just need to know how to load the batteries for a side load Sound Super 8. Let me know thanks Edit: Nvm I found it! It’s in the handle lol Cool!

[@jennyvergunst8151]

I have a new canon 514xl-s canonsound camera. And I wanted to load it, but the spinning motor in the middle doesn't spin and the dot that I drew on the film doesn't disappear. What do I have to do now?

[@jfairplane8520]

So up to now, there is no way to record sound at same time ? Or is Kodak will redo magnetic sound film also ? thanks

[@nancypena6941]

Bought a bell and howell T10XL i put batteries in but cant seem to get the thing in the center to rotate. Any tips or info? Is it completely unusable?

[@romanpetrusyak5827]

Thanks bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@XricheeX]

I just bought a canon auto zoom 814 super 8 and bought 50 outdated (1992) packs of film for €12,50, i dont know if these will still look good because they’re so old but im going to give it a try anyways

[@fool1shmortal]

I don!g know why the old cathode Ray TVs don!f sell, especially with old consoles players. I am struggling about whether to sell the old Gaf super 8 film camera and projector, but wang it to be enjoyed. Even if there is a market, I can’t be sure if it is in good enough shape. Are there general places that can examine these cams?

[@yoffraywednesday]

I'm having issues figuring out how to load batteries into my bell and Howell filmsonic without the original battery pack that goes into the handle, any idea how to load batteries?

[@theearthling4890]

Hi I am looking an instruction book for Hanimax Loadmatic 800 . Can you help?

[@jawokolok5599]

I have a keystone super 8 camera how do I put the batteries in ?

[@MichaelCarter]

Nice. Show how to load super 8 CARTS! aNd or how to UNLOAD a cart to process at home?

[@AnalogResurgence]

I definitely want to delve into processing super 8 at home in the future!

[@MichaelCarter]

I do 16mm on FB and have done R8 3 years ago. I never developed the Super 8 yet.

[@isabelsosa5071]

[@reb10]

What would you do if the film wasn’t moved through the camera and the dot remained in the same place?

[@delmoralmb]

I'm having the same issue, did you find a solution?

[@reb10]

@@delmoralmb I’m afraid not, sorry - the obvious reason would be a faulty motor but that’s not it in my case

[@delmoralmb]

Not in my case either, what camera do you have? I have a Canon 814XL, the motor in my camera moves well at different fps, the window opens, and everything works correctly, in the end I discovered that pushing the cartridge hard from behind does transport the film, I hope it helps.@@reb10

Hi! What film to use for Arco Super Eight with Round Super 8 film Cartridge? I can´t find it anywhere

[@AnalogResurgence]

That is likely not a Super 8 camera, but actually a Regular 8 camera and it takes Regular 8mm film. This should tell you all you need to know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJW4aqhjqtZ2gKc You can purchase film here: filmphotographyproject.com/

[@damianmandella8443]

I have a sankyo super 8 video camera like yours but mine say super 800 I need my pistol grip repaired it is just cracked because it’s obv made out of plastic do you know of anywhere they repair this ?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Unfortunately I don't. Super 8 camera repair isn't a very popular skill and usually when these cameras break they break for good. If it's something like that where it's plastic, maybe there's a chance you could tackle it yourself, or even work around it if the rest of the camera is fine.

[@mariapapandrea4598]

A question, so if you run put of battery you can open the camera and change it at any time and the film material will be ok?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Yes it will be okay, you may lose a couple of frames but that only equates to a fraction of a second of footage!

[@mariapapandrea4598]

@@AnalogResurgence thanks!!!!

[@saint9455]

i plan on purchasing a fujica z1 zoom, Do know what kinda film i should use?

[@AnalogResurgence]

That particular camera is a Single-8 film camera, so be careful because it will not take Super 8 film! Single-8 is a fuji format that isn't widely made anymore so it is difficult to get film for. It's a topic I'm planning to tackle soon, but here's some more information on the format: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-8 super8wiki.com/index.php/Fujica_Z1

[@tylernfilms]

So I got a super 8 Eumig camera. It works, but it doesn't take the cartridge. You gotta feed the film through. How do I do this?

[@AnalogResurgence]

That's likely not a super 8 camera, but a regular 8 camera! All Super 8 cameras take the cartridges and if the camera doesn't then it takes regular 8mm that comes on rolls. You can get film like that here: filmphotographystore.com/collections/movie-film/regular-8

what’s a reliable source to buy film?

[@jonahmann]

[@austin_long]

what about older super8 cameras that don’t take the cartridges?

[@AnalogResurgence]

All Super 8 cameras will take these cartridges, I believe what you're looking for is information about Regular 8mm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJW4aqhjqtZ2gKc

[@shamaalb2259]

Why don’t anyone show where the batteries are on the Minolta autopak s3? Bin looking at hundreds of videos and kno one does a good job of showing where the battery is!

[@AnalogResurgence]

The bottom of the handle unscrews and the batteries are inserted inside!

Is anyone interested in bentley bx 11 super 8 home movie projector and bentley bx 720 super 8 movie camera never used still in boxes

[@usefulpineapple4538]

How many super 8 cameras do you have 😂

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

Working Super8 cameras are WAY overpriced now. One either pay lotto with flea market and Ebay cameras, or pay up. This balloon will bust.
