Why I Shoot on Super 8mm Film in 2021.

Why I shoot on Super 8mm Film in 2021... I love my Super 8mm film camera because it reminds me why I started filmmaking in the first place! Super 8mm keeps things simple and lets me capture the in-between moments. I shoot on a Canon 514 XL Super 8mm camera and Kodak 50D Super 8mm film.

you know whats amazing to me with analog.. is the fact that there is a "cost". not only financial but, everything. And by cost I mean in a positive sense. When I was younger and shot only film photography I couldn't just shoot 1200 pictures, because I couldn't afford it. Every shot was intentional and nobody ran up to look at how it came out. There was excitement and fun about having to wait for development (although I ran to the lab the very day usually ha ha). With a super8 or 16 were not so inclined to just carelessly and recklessly shoot everything. its allows you to focus on life and when you DO shoot footage theres actually a reason behind it. Shooting electronic video has sort of become what listening to music has. When I was younger listening to music was an event. of course there were many times with the radio, or as background while cleaning or driving. But for really good records, or in times of emotional need, I would sit there in the room with headphones, staring at the artwork and actually enjoying the experience. I love the digital world, theres so much flexibility and such an ease of editing, color grading, etc.. but man, shooting footage.. the moments are priceless and you realize the footage you shot would probably be carelessly glossed over and thrown into the "recycle bin", always in search of the "perfect" shot. Perfection is an illusion and the closer we get, the further from life we tend to stray. I love seeing your footage and its great to see people embracing analog footage, and not just for the novelty of going "old school", but to really appreciate and find worth in the process and cherish the end results. keep on keeping on man

Man, I literally was thinking I want a camera people will act normally around and I can catch real moments. Then I remembered you posted a video about super 8 a few months back, came here, watched, you confirmed everything I wanted. ha ha THANKS!

Very cool camera ! Wish to try out 8mm soon, I've been shooting on medium format for stills and this seems like the next step.

[frederic-albanvandamme]

Very nice video. I love the idea of filming with old cameras.

[PixelNotesMusic]

Just bought one of these. Subscribed and looking forward to discovering this camera with the help of your channel!

[FabianGuppenberger]

Awesome! Soo excited, just picked up the same model for 35€ at an old camera shop in the area. Will order now some films & excited for the first time to shoot with it

[kanewilsonfilm]

Really nice video! You've made me want to buy a super 8 camera now. I've found the same one for a really good price, so I think I'm going to invest ready for a summer travel film.

This reminded me that I rocked a PXL-2000 in the 90s. It recorded low-re monochrome images to compact audio cassettes. Awesome.

The only software that I know of that will let you edit in 18 FPS is DaVinci Resolve. Finding a Super 8 camera that films at 24 FPS is difficult. I use Resolve because you can get the free version or the Studio version which is a one time payment. It is better than Premiere Pro in my opinion.

great video, ya had me surprised when you weren't aware of film speeds. learning film speeds on the most expensive film ya can buy, lol. cheers.

I just found my dad's almost unused Canon 514XL

[RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

so nice, I wanna get one of this for casual use!!! love it!

[enzo]

Nice video ! I want a super 8 mm now =)

[chrisjacobs]

Looks like the old days! So at 4:48 you said you made a big mistake, you wanted 50D film not 500T?

[dylanfisk]

Super gr8 video haha, makes me want to shoot a couple videos a year 🙌🏻🙌🏻 but you should look into a $15 35mm panoramic or half frame point and shoot instead of the wack disposable cameras lol, I love my Olympus pen ees

Question: I have a Canon 1014, that I got for $50 Canadian, about a year or two ago. It's in great physical shape but does not work (at least, when batteries added, it does nothing). Is it worth fixing?

[reel_images]

Awesome video, I'm much the same in the sense that I started filming at the age of 8 on our Panasonic VHS video camera (1987). I then got my first video camera a PXL 2000 that shoots on audio cassette, I'm sure you know of that camera. I've since bought a Super 8 Chinon xl 722 to shoot on. I was wondering have you ever tried syncing audio say from a phone (48HZ)? I understand it can be tough if the camera does not have crystal time sync which most super 8 camera lack.
Any thoughts on syncing would be greatly appreciated, or you experience in this.

Hi! Thanks for the video! When you shot 500T in daylight, did you turn on the filter (the sun symbol on the switch) ? This should activate the orange filter and compensate the blue tone of the 500T
