THIS is one of my favorite cameras in 2025 | A Super 8 Beginners Guide

[@Mananetwork]

Hey friend, love how you cut this film together with lots of fun angles. Just a small thing I noticed that should be corrected in the video is when shooting at 18fps you get 3m20sec runtime vs the 2min30sec at 24fps from a single cart. Keep on shootin' film!

[@80white]

Hey, thank you very much! I think you are right. Thanks for the correction✌

[@craigw.scribner6490]

@@80white He is right. Good video, though--thanks!

[@grizzmount3250]

Awesome content. Waiting for guides on 16mm, 35mm, 65mm, and IMAX as well.

[@greenmoon2519]

Oh my ... the editing and cinematography is SO good I LOVE

[@umadamle1]

You're a freaking artist. Top scores on information summarised AND on style. Even though I've already seen this and have all the information I could watch it over and over again. Bravo !

Vielen Dank dir!✌

This makes me want to get a super 8 camera. Also the quality of this video blows my mind. So well thought and beautiful to watch. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@80white]

Thank you very much! Thrilled to hear that😍

[@ashareeuniquee]

This whole video was done so well! I really want a super 8 but I wish the transfer was super simple

[@douglasolivofilms]

Man your channel is amazing!!

[@deanbrafman]

great video dude

[@wearetrackclub]

Love your video style! Great guide. Super 8 footage really has a special charm 👌🤩

[@80white]

Thank you so much☺️

[@XMarkxyz]

I don't want to be the one but, interesting and well done video aside, that indoor shot at 02:20 is quite compelling I must admit

[@dzakyurek]

This video is very well edited

[@ryanbowiephotography]

Nice editing dude, this is an awesome video! They’re such cool cameras and pretty inexpensive (except for the film, yikes)

[@adamg1634]

fire video

[@rorycowieson5924]

Cool video! Btw, you can also change film in daylight without any issues in analogue photography.

[@80white]

Thanks! But not if you haven't exposed all the pictures yet, right? For example, with Super 8, you can simply take out the film halfway, replace it, and then put it back in later. I don't think it's as easy with photos, is it?:)

[@XMarkxyz]

@@80white you are right, you can change film in a camera only if you have already rewinded all the film inside its can, otherwise it will all expose and go to waste; the only exception being the high-end medium format modular cameras (like Hasselblads, mamiya, bronica, kiev) where you can have as many magazines as you want already loaded and as long as you put its darkslide on they are light sealed and so you can change film mid roll

[@alicetookherpills]

@@XMarkxyz >high end >kiev lmao

[@XMarkxyz]

@@alicetookherpills high end was more referred to the format which was and is tipically more expensive, anyway it's in last place for a reason but still was the best avaible in the soviet union which occupied quite a lot of the world for a long time also it's a quite capable machine, and I think those are pretty much all the brand with a magazine

[@ibra.production]

very nice video and storytelling. I am planning to buy one. How does is it actually record sound?

[@anilb7879]

Isnt the time you mentioned wrong? 18 frames per sec = 3min 20s 24 frames per sec = 2min 30s

[@80white]

Yes, you’re right:) I made a mistake there.

[@haileyfleming9171]

I am looking into buying a super 8 camera for my husband for christmas and had no idea where to start. This is amazingingly helpful, thank you! How did you include sound in your videos? I have seen some Super 8 how to guides saying no sounds will be captured - does this just depend on the camera model? Thanks!

[@80white]

@@haileyfleming9171 Thank you! In general, it's not possible to record sound with Super 8. There are a few models that could theoretically do this, but they record sound separately and on tape. All the sounds you hear in my video were added in post-production:)

[@hannahpennington-uu9cb]

what do you editing your super 8 film with?

[@redjohn20001]

Good to see some one promoting super 8. At 18 frames per second the cartridge last for around 3.5 minutes. Also not all cameras detect the film speed properly. Later cameras had only one or mostly two film speed settings designed for the two film types available in the day. Earlier cameras were able to detect the slot length in the cartridge and hence the proper film speed. Another issue was that the film of the day was artificial light ballance for colour and an amber filter was in place for daylight shooting and switched out for artificial light shooting. Again some cameras detected this from the cartridge and removed the filter for daylight film use but some did not. You seem to have an up market Canon camera that can deal with these issues and that gave very stable exposed images on the film but again a lot of the cheaper cameras didn't. Just a bit of info for you. I liked your video and if it encouraged more use of super 8 that's great.

[@cicerofeliz]

Olá! Como você digitalizou as imagens? O que você usou ? Obrigado!!

[@KNCK]

Hey, danke für den Überblick. Habe meinen ersten Film gefüllt, könnt ihr eine Anlaufstelle für Entwicklung und Scan in D empfehlen? Danke vorab ✌🏻

[@mmuzzwell3654]

Can anyone tell me what the polarity is on the 9 volt socket. The manual doesn't state it. Is it normal (center +) or like early Sony (center - )? Thanks.

[@nayansharma6686]

What resolution do you get your super 8 footage developed in?

[@80white]

2048 x 1536 and in ProRes ☺

[@cameronthomas6524]

Whats the main difference between canon 514XL-S and 514XL?

[@80white]

@@cameronthomas6524 the 514XL-S could theoretically record sound. That’s what the S stands for:)

[@janri5493]

Thanks for the video! Where in germany do you get your film processed and scanned?

I bought some vouchers at Click and Surr. It’s a camera store in Berlin:)

hast du noch andere empfehlungen bei super 8?:) hab mir einfach die bauer a508 für 20€ geholt. und die geht:)))

Würde die einfach mal ausprobieren. Solange der Motor und Lichtmesser funktionieren, sollte es ja klappen:)

[@robbellphoto]

gile !

[@angelsaucedo2231]

I've always thought super 8 cameras looked really cool and obviously have that romantic factor. But $40 for 2.5 minutes of low resolution footage is not worth it. -Alright. After seeing several footage of 8mm, I must admit it has a special quality. Sure it has its imperfections and it is expensive but, if you are able to youll end up great memories.

[@jimbricky]

You can't go wrong with a Canon camera.

[@jinchoung]

as someone who grew up shooting super 8 and doing cable release stop motion with it, i think the only real value of shooting it nowadays is to give the impression of something in the past. so it might be cool for some shots in a period film. other than that, the picture area is just soooo small and the picture quality legitimately terrible AND it's even more expensive to shoot and process today than when i was doing it. all around - not worth it. nowadays, i really enjoy having images IN FOCUS for heaven's sake.

[@80white]

Super 8, in my view, is a very distinctive format. It's not really better or worse than other formats. It all depends on what you wanna say and the vibe you're going for. Some moments, you might just want to capture in this style. Not perfect, somewhat blurry and dreamy.

[@cicerofeliz]

@@80whiteolá! Como voce digitalizou os filmes? Usou a própria câmera? Obrigado!!

[@pauls6043]

You're really over selling the 8-mm hype without giving actual pro tips on how to work with this material. Small but super important things, like shaking the cartridge before use. Using a pressure plate for a smoother image etc

[@80white]

Hey, thank you for the tips! If you have any more, feel free to share them here. However, I tried to keep things pretty basic in the video since it's meant to be a beginner's guide.Those specific tips might be overwhelming for beginners at first.

[@fbnx4219]

The pressure plate was a scam from the beginning. It would be great if it worked, but it just doesn't.

[@ProjectHD17]

Why are you here if you already know how to use it?
