alright i really like the way super 8 film looks but i don't know much about it. from what i understand you film and then have to take the film to a photo place to have it developed and then you can play it back but on what? a projector? if you know stuff about this please let me know. i'm looking into getiing some equiptment and would like to know a little more about it before i get the materals. also if anyone knows the email address for cassette i'd appreciate it. i know that thomas does a lot of super 8 filming with his videos and was hoping maybe i could get in touch with him. thanks.

I found a super 8 camera in full working condition at goodwill for 5 dollars. I too don't know anything about it, but would like to learn. Any help would be awesome.

it even came with the original instruction manual, but I just haven't had time to work with it yet.

I've always wanted to get involved with film cameras, esp. 16mm. I love the look of the final product, its much richer than anything digital. The hassle and cost of extra equiptment keeps me away though. (For now)

I kinda understand about the whole "filming with super 8" thing, but I think that I would rather just film in digital and then edit the parts that I wanted to look like super 8 camera afterwards.
I just know that I am really lazy and would not get the film developed as soon as I could have it done on the computer. Then, after you have it developed, you have to put it on the computer to edit the content with music. I really don't know about any editing if it is not on the computer.

boardinaustin- i'd do that but i haven't seen a digital repoduction of super 8 that looks anything close the actual product.
