It's insane how the quality of personal video cameras in the 60s-70s were better than the quality of most personal cams from the 80s to less than decade ago.

In my work, I am currently digitizing old Super 8 and Standard 8 reels for clients. I have known the format since I was a kid, but never felt the need to know it better, when I got older. In this world of 4K footage, H.264 and 128 GB memory cards, I have only huge respect for this format, even when it is mostly without sound. I salute you, Willem.

Can't help but feel tempted to try Super 8 after watching all those yearly-ish films by Adrian Bliss.

I’ve been trying to find a working super 8 camera for years, and I finally did today, and it just happens to be the exact same model from this video! I’m super excited to use it!

In the early seventies, my father bought exactly the same camera, I was 7 years old. It was a great discovery for me, my love for filming began at that time.

Fun drinking game: Take a shot everytime Willem says SUPER and I promise you a good time

production quality of your videos are so good, man. keep crushing it!

$25 for development and scanning?! link me, everywhere i’ve looked it’s upwards of $40

The look of your Tokyo/Nyc vacation is nice. The scenes are perfectly exposed and everythings just so smooth in comparison too digitally edited clips.

I got that same camera and your content is PERFECT for what I was hunting on, very curious to try filming with one of my vintage video cameras!

I've had this Super 8 for at least 5 years and I just got it working for the first time

I'm 15 and I just found a super 8 at my local junk/antique shop. It's a viceroy and it's only $30. I'm gonna get it.

I'm an old fart, so I started with Regular 8 film before we had Super 8 film. With Regular 8, you'd run through 25 feet of film and after that, flip the film over and shoot the other 25 feet. During processing, the film was split down the middle and the two parts were spliced together. Regular 8 was shot at 16 FPS. The switch to Super 8 was a real improvement, but Kodak changed the frame rate to 18 FPS. I was unhappy about that because it gave a slightly shorter run time. I can't recall the exact year, but around 1970, Kodak introduced Sound movies on Super 8. It was wonderful!!! I still have my old cameras and projectors. I may have to try out the Super 8 negative film for fun.

Thanks for sharing this! I've been looking at scoring a Canon 518 for the past few weeks. Thank you for sharing the knowledge! Also, keep up the great work!

Awesome man :) I've always wanted to shoot super 8 and you're a massive inspiration for my channel

My guy never fails on the detail and depth of his explanations

Right as I buy a super 8 camera, you upload this video. God bless.

Such a good video man 👏🏽 love the info and cool video style you got

So good info in a short video, thanks so much for this!

This was a really good and helpful breakdown. Thank you

The films were beautiful. Thank you!

I have that exact camera - Beautiful footage - So expensive to process but worth it

NO WAY! I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR VIDEOS ON HOW TO SHOOT MOVIE FILM AND THEN YOU BLESS ME WITH A VIDEO!! DAMN MIND READER XD X'D

Great run through, been meaning to try this out

Honestly I really love your videos!! Thank you for making all these videos!

exactly the video i was looking for! thanks a lot ( also i really liked your photography at night and photo edit videos )

Always inspiring everyone to try new things , you're amazing man :,)

I remember my great grandfather he always used his super 8 :)

That's exactly the same camera my father bought in 1972 when I was eight, that was the beginning of my passion for movie shooting. One thing that I always forgot to change in that camera was the round battery which was charged to regulate the amount of light entering through the lens, in other words the exposure, so a lot of the images were totally overexposed.

great video man. Super 8 cameras were my inspiration to start shooting film.

Nice tutorial. I love shooting motion pictures, though I have never shot super-8. I have a 16mm Arriflex.

loved this! can you make a video on taking pictures with a polaroid through another camera

That's really cool Willem

love this man

Why do I want one of these? So costly. But still....I really, really do

Thank you for the info sir!!

Thanks dude! Really straight forward info! Cheers =)

Great vid, young man

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Just acquired a Super 8 to add to my wedding videography films :)

Excellent content!

Me and my friend picked one of these up for 15 bucks at goodwill. I couldn't even believe we found one out in the wild... can't wait to make cool films with it!

you seem like a cool dude, thanks for your input on this subject. Just got a canon super8 814 zoom and I am excited to test it out :) Cheers!

Super helpful!! thanks!!

This came at the perfect time, I just bought a camera. Thank you!! 💛

Ur talking fast now hehehehe i love listening to your calm way of talking

I found my super 8 camera at an antique store for $10! It works too! 🤩

I love your minimalist shirt

Great video. I always wanted a super 8 camera. Thanks for the detailed info on prices and where I can find one. Subbed

I am delighted to meet you and to discover your channel. In this video, you did not talk about processing the film with a laboratory: - Where can we find the address of the laboratories? - How long does it take to recover the film reel? Thank you for answering me because I am really interested in this project.

Good stuff, Willem! Although I did want to say that the only color negative stocks from Kodak currently available in Super 8 (as in in production) are 50D, 200T, and 500T.

Oww dude! Can't never help with super8 coolness wooooo! 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome mate... I had the same camera and sold it... now I want it back. :)

thanks for this video! We're filming a lot on 8mm too but unfortunately it costs more than 25 dollar to develop and digitize one film, at least in Germany... Wish it was different! 😬

I have my Bell and Howell Focusmatic autoload and my Bell and Howell 20xc projector. Both still work perfectly.

You should do more Super 8 videos! I have a Braun Nizo 136 coming in soon and kind of have no idea how to use it lol Have a good one!

Loved this video. What camera do you use or shoot your vids, such good lightning too !

I do love this.🎥🎞🎬👍👍🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Gorgeous!

I just got my Bell and Howell 1223 super 8 and I can’t wait to film out of it.

do you recommend any places to send it in for development?

I worked super 8 commercially in the 70,s shooting promotional marketing films for manufactures.Very hard format to work with. A lot of skill is required to get good quality pictures and you have to use a 3 position lighting set up at 3200 Kelvin. Lens are the key. A Beaulieu camera 5008 or 6008, still quite expensive around 1500 dollars US. an edit bench is essential. Transfer master film to video tape yes, but you need a very high quality multiplexer to do it. Super 8 film production is expensive at least $5 a minute. Film cleaning and a dust free room are essential. I liked super 8 as a finished product for export customers as the colors are so much better then the electric picture.But in to-days world one needs the guaranteed support from Kodak for Super 8 production

Quite interesting video, never shot Super 8 but I love the look

damn this guy really tuned his voice to that one note and kept it there

Love from my heart

Awesome!

this video is not related to sinister movie but damn, still give chills.

Solid, been wanting a super 8 set up for a while! Also why not gaffers tape instead of hot glue hahahah

...andddd my S8 Canon 310XL arrives today from Germany. Perfect timing for your post, though I’ve successfully shot my buddy’s 514XL last year. Thanks!

Would loved to have seen a little more of your results. Currently, I am building a Hi-Def Super 8mm and Regular 8mm slow speed scanner. 😊 I ❤ Super 8

Hey !! I live your work and video, I was js going to get a 8 mm film camera my question is how do you get it digitally??

Hey :) Can you make a video how you scan film?? I watched your scan editing video but I'd like to know how to scan the film before editing

Can you make a video on how to edit Super 8 film? I just saw your NYC video and it's dope!

Awesome post, I've got a brand new never used working Chinon 722p XL with 2 new expired unused super 8 cartridges. I bought it in 2003 for $30. I want to mount my galaxy s10 plus to the top so I can pre record with that and use the super sparingly. When editing use some 108060p with the 18fps super 8. Aswell having audo sync with the super 8. Filming no more than 10 seconds of video per event or scene. You'd get about 15 to 18 events over a summer or project.

By far, the best Canon super 8 cameras are 814 and 1014 (last editions)

Hi, excellent review! Btw, has it got a 24 fps option or it runs only on 18?

What's Happening Willem Great Video...ICouldn't Ask For A Better Video On Super8...Thank You

Thx !!

Great video. Have you tried using a light meter with a super 8 camera? What is the shutter angle on this canon?

Hey how do you change the small battery in the film compartment ? I have a slightly water damaged s/86 and the little thing is a pain. It also twists all the cables.

I find in my dads stuff a Japanese Camera with no batteries needed. I'll buy some film from overseas and try to reveal in a local store here in Chile. Hopefully in some months from now i'll share some of that with you all.

2:12 kong skull island: “hold my beer”

you didn't link the films you made. i'd really like to see them!

does the scanner you provided result in the same quality as when you send the film to get developed?

Got a Bolex. Trying to find film and then go from there. Should have watched this first.

I actually do have a camera, it was my parents' when I was a kid in 70's. Thanks for the details, I'll see if I can get it working. I believe I have an old roll of film, too, but it's ancient. I should prolly buy some new stuff...? Or, I guess I could try it...?

I own Canon 1014 xl, excellent condition. Use very little as I switched to Sony Super 8mm non cartridges.

🖤 from Philippines

Really love the look of the film but too bad developing is expensive. I don't even think there's anywhere that processes super 8 in my country

Willem, that camera is just for beginners. It's kind'a like a point and shoot DSLR. Me? I had a super 8 camera that was more manual than automatic. You could do scene swipes with the visor. You could do a focus dissolve from one scene to another. You could zoom by hand. So, I guess that this camera could give you some pleasure.

Ektachrome 100d has finer grain than Vision 3 films btw!

Where the heck are you getting processing and scanning done for $25?? Cheapest I could find was around $60. Nice Simpson's font btw 😂

Would you be able to link the batteries for the light meter that need to be used for this particular camera? Love your work btw. Keep it up! Thanks!

Man, Willem could be talking about his breakfast and I would still click on the video at the speed of light. Too good.

I resently found 2 Super 8 camera and I’m wondering if it’s possible to use it at a concert knowing that it will be dark and stuff, thanks ?

Another with Squarespace hahaha!

Hey man like always thanks a lot for the video. I have to say tho I've recently shot and developed a film and the cost in total was well over 100 USD. Where did you get a film for 25? Or developing for 25, I've never seen prices like that.

wow, it’s amazing how i’m not subscribed to you or anything, but i’ve spent the past four hours extensively researching what super 8 i should buy, before stumbling upon this video in a google search thinking it was old but then seeing it was only uploaded 23 hours ago. perfect timing. my question is, between 50d and 250d, which one is better for both day and night? 250, roght? but would it make day/outdoor scenes too overexposed? should i get 50 to be safe?

thank you so much for the video! But how do you get the footage to be 16:9 ratio instead of 4:3? i thought all super 8 were 4:3?

Hey great video….how do you digitise, archive and edit the footage…all by yourself…without sending it to the lab
