This is the best looking super 8 footage I’ve ever seen

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you very much, although the camera did do a lot of the heavy lifting in regards to sharpness haha

[@biscayforex4317]

This is the best transferred, edited, corrected and stabilized Super8 footage I've ever seen.

[@fulmpictures6772]

I cannot stop watching this, I have never seen 8mm look this amazing.

[@ssimplefilms]

thank you kindly !

[@yvorivo6152]

Very beautiful and inspiring. There's nothing like film...

[@ssimplefilms]

Greatly appreciated ❤️

[@lwltrs]

Incredible, never seen Super 8 so crispy! Keep up the good work!

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you, it can deliver some truly remarkable stuff sometimes

[@andrewhammond8852]

Stunning 8mm footage. The colour and composition are incredibly well done

[@ssimplefilms]

Big love mate ! Cheers 💗

[@BryanCepak]

Very clean. Impressive.

[@ssimplefilms]

Thanks 🙏

[@brulidr]

Thank you for this great film. Good concept. The filmstock is brilliant. The camera has such a steady film transport/gate (Beaulieu is high-end after all)

[@ssimplefilms]

And Thank you for the kind words ! It is an absolutely beautiful camera that is a joy to use !

[@matheushenriquenascimento9461]

Beautiful as always. Truly inspirational.

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@akhileshuvarv7793]

I can't believe this is super 8. I'd wage it 16mm

[@ssimplefilms]

I was just as shocked, especially with the 50D results

[@yetanotheruser1989]

Looks beautiful. Especially the water at 2:19 absolutely stunning. Was there much post processing done besides colour grading?

[@ssimplefilms]

I appreciate that thank you ! I did add a little post stabilisation just to remove a little gate jitter, but not a great deal extra

[@MyTVTUNES]

Love it

[@ssimplefilms]

Cheers !

[@SituationsAtHand]

Beautiful images thank you. Did you add some image stabilization for this?

[@ssimplefilms]

Big love thank you ❤️ I did yes, I kept it minimal and the camera itself isn’t bad, I’ve had much worse but I do give it a little aid in steadiness to lessen the distraction where I can

[@saadomar1101]

Hi Thanks for sharing this too :) Please can you say which ones are 50D shots? This is an amazing work for a super8 film there,, better than many many 16mm filmed out there in terms of details and colors :)

[@ssimplefilms]

I’d have to go back through the original scans to confirm but I believe most of the beach and water shots may have been 50D but I think there were a few exceptions depending on if I wanted to shoot higher frame rates like the bees flying or waves lapping in credits, they are definitely 200t

[@ssimplefilms]

And thank you for the love, it means a lot 🩵

[@misterpaulggftw9103]

Hi, I'm an 18 year old looking to shoot my first full feature film. I was astonished by this footage. Like it doesn't feel like Super 8, feels more like 16mm. May I ask if you did any additional color grading or adjustments for it? And where did you get the film processed and scanned? Much appreciated and keep up the great content!💕

[@ssimplefilms]

Cheers mate ! I do colour grade all my footage but I try to keep it looking as natural as it did in person, it’s not all that difficult grading film, although I’m sure many could do a far better job then I. And I have my film processing done at Neglab in Sydney Australia and the 4K scan done at memorlab in Melbourne. Hope that helps ! Good luck and thank you for the kind words !❤️

[@horaciotorruco]

Beautiful images. Where did you scan this material?

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Is the sharpness down to the camera? How does one get such beautiful results?

[@ssimplefilms]

The camera and lens definitely go along way, especially with 50D super 8. Can look very crisp !

[@MrDukeSilverr]

@@ssimplefilmsthose beaulieu lenses man, I’m hoping to catch some footage of sunny France with my Nizo, I have only tested it with the 500t so looking forward to 50d

[@patrickhough4323]

This is so beutiful. What lens did you use to achieve such sharpness? Was it the optivarion 6-66?

[@ssimplefilms]

Appreciate the love!, this was shot with the 6-70 version

[@hespassed859]

Where did you get your Beaulieu serviced?

[@ssimplefilms]

It was done by björn andersson, works beautifully!

[@kentwood9821]

Superb, a great piece in any format, amazing for super 8. Would love to know if you were shooting at 18 or 24 fps.

[@ssimplefilms]

Cheers Kent ! I almost always shoot at 24, but sometimes a higher speeds if necessary. I think the last shot with the water ripping was at 70fps

[@lobono2292]

this is very nice to see and ear, the music and images goes so well together. Did you use the optivaron 6-66 1.8 or the 6-70 1.4 ?

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you 🙏 This was with the 6-70

[@flyingo]

Fantastic. Question: dissolves.. in camera? Or post? Thanks for all of your films!

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you 🙏 These are all done in post, I’m never sure how I’ll place anything in an edit until I’m in it, so I like keeping my shots long and clean so I can do this stuff later

[@themorgangold]

Really beautiful footage. How intense was the grade on this?

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you very much. Not hugely involved, I tend to grade for a short while then return the next day to see it with a fresh perspective. I do that a lot so that’s probably the most tedious part, is the time combined, but it’s pretty easy to grade film

[@Fraoten]

Amazing! What aspect ratio is this? It looks a little smaller than a 4:3?

[@ssimplefilms]

It is yes, I brought the image in slightly to remove the original frame lines and inconsistent edge roundness, so I had to bake it slightly more boxy, but the original is around 4:3 Thank you btw !

[@spedslojp3353]

What lens? Did you have the lens collimated to the camera?

[@ssimplefilms]

I haven’t had it done, it may have in the past as it has been serviced. This camera has a Schneider-Kreuznach Beaulieu-Optivaron f: 1.4 \ F: 6-70 mm

[@Kwc705]

Lovely footage! Did you sharpen it in post, in any way?

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you ! I added an almost unnoticeable amount, just to tighten it up a little, But I also don’t want to overdo it, it’s 8mm and the softness is something to be embarrassed I think, same with colours and imperfections, I want things to look as natural and realistic in all its characteristics as possible

[@Kwc705]

@@ssimplefilms thanks for the answer. I agree that super8 should be chosen for it's specific aesthetic qualities. I just think your footage is really sharp and crisp, for super8. I mean this in the most positive way. What kind of scan did you use?

[@_mixedsignals]

Well done. Where do you get your film processed?

[@ssimplefilms]

Thankyou! I use a lab in Sydney called neglab

[@randagiorosso]

Top qualität.

[@ssimplefilms]

Cheers🙏

[@Tomofdahook17]

Do you use the same tripod for Super 8 as you do for 16mm? And where do you find your music? It’s always so calming.

[@ssimplefilms]

I have a miller tripod, I use it with both my 16 and 8, it’s a good size for both

[@ssimplefilms]

The music I’ve used I’ve found just be listening to a lot of different stuff as I’m in the edit, trying to find something that I feel suits the flow of cuts ect.

[@isakyttredal5632]

Amazing! Did you shoot this at 24 fps?

[@ssimplefilms]

Thank you ! I shot this at various speeds, 18/24 and occasionally 80fps for the bees and fire

Beautiful footage, but so little movement that you might as well use photos. Hope I don't offend you

Amazing. What resolution did you get it scanned at?

[@ann7669]

I guess 1000000k….

[@ssimplefilms]

I believe they scan at 6.5k and deliver it in 4K But I’m not entirely sure

[@ADAM21153]

@@ssimplefilms Is the 6.5K worthwhile or overkill? What do you usually choose? Because this film looked exceptional and I'd want this level of quality out of my scans

[@brulidr]

a 2k (2048 pixels across) scan would capture all the grain and details

[@user-wf2kx4mc5e]

4k in super 8??????????????????? super 8?????? less than 8mm?? but in 4k??? HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO SCAN 8MM ON 4K AND NOT BLURRED LIKE VHS TAPE? (sorry for my broken english.)

I guess scanning technology has come a long way, it is impressive from something smaller than a fingernail though !

Legend, Thankyou ! I believe it was sent to björn Anderson in Europe for a professional refurb a few years ago, I had purchased it from a local here I aus who had a few and was willing to part with one… I paid for it though, wasn’t cheap haha
