I went through a Super8 phase around 1990 when there were TONS of them in thrift stores, right before digital video took over. I ended up with a French made Beaulieu 4008zmii from 1971 (and a Beaulieu R16 16mm), which is completely obsolete but remains a piece of art from the peak of super8. It looks like a ray gun from a 50's sci fi movie!
Got another camera since then, had unopened film from 1978 with a price tag, 4.25 which means $20 today. That's just the film development would have been extra.
19:59 sort of.. In BTTF 2 when Biff has the argument with Terry at the Western Auto over the $300 cleanup after having his car detailed from the manure truck crash in the town square, Terry finishes by saying "This is last time I do you a favor Biff! The last time!" I'm guessing that after the second manure truck crash just outside the River Road Tunnel, Biff probably wasn't welcome back to the Western Auto to have his car fixed, so he had to clean it up himself, and therefore became an Auto Detailer as a result. Similar outcome can be said in the BTTF 1 ending, where Biff, left without many career options after having nobody to do his homework for him in high school after George knocked him out, decides that there's probably reasonable money to be made detailing cars, after having to pay $300 himself to have his car cleaned/detailed.
You doing an impression of an Australian doing an impression of an American actor playing the descendant of German immigrants. Not sure where I'm going with this. But it made me giggle.
Ed Burns is the guy that does the voice over for the B&H ads. I buy a lot of my film from B&H and the Film Photography Store. I highly recommend both if you're a film shooter.

Aside from me, you are the first person I've ever heard make a logical comment on time travel... thank you, Mr. Ben Heck Hacks -- a genius and a scholar; not many of us left here on this rock. I've made that comment before, along with the issues of topography and geography. But ending up deep underground or under the sea, let alone space, let alone arriving in-between some rock or building structure (Philidelphia Experiment) unprotected are not the types of spontaneous adventures through time I care to make. Even at best, if we could dial in some kind of 4D coordinates, we'd need to know them precisely at first, right?
Ben needs more tools. He should get a jewelers hand vise. They're useful for holding small parts when you have to tool those small parts. It beats running power tools into your fingers.
I saw BTTF2 in the theater and some of those deleted scenes were in the version I watched. The part where Biff disappears was there, as well as the school in the alternate 1985. I actually saw all 3 movies when they came out.
They figured out where the backrooms were. It was an old furniture store. Just all the furniture was gone. I think it's in Pennsylvania? It ended up being converted into a slot car track. They found the exact space where the photo was taken. We also know who played the most mysterious song in the Internet today too. They also found out who celebrity number 6 is. She's a waitress today.
Hi Ben, thought we would have another video about modifying anything from Menards but a working Super 8 documentary of Menards to us unaware peasant folks from the southeastern U.S. would be a great way to introduce what we jack legs been missing out on?
@ i’ve scanned many super 8 films with a mag track and the vast majority of them, even with sound, were 18fps. film was expensive and consumers didn’t want to burn through it more quickly than they already were.
They also never said how long they need the 1.21 GW for - watts is a measure of instantaneous power, not total energy. 1.21GW for a microsecond is a way different deal than 1.21 GW for several minutes. If it's just a very brief pulse, that's actually a very manageable amount of energy - just need a bunch of large, low ESR caps and you could charge them off the DeLorean's engine in under a few hours. And for wires, pulses like this are far more worried about fusing current than heating current, like we are when we size house wiring. Fusing current is vastly higher, for most materials.
@@mikeworkman3593 Watts is a measure of power. Period. Yes, P=VI. Voltage and current aren't measures of power, they're measures of electric potential and current flow. Power is an instantaneous measurement because both V and I are instantaneous parameters (that is, their value can be measured over any arbitrarily small period of time). You can average power over some period of time though. But, for the case of the DeLorean time machine, since the flux capacitor doesn't seem to need the 1.21 GW continuously (for example, in BTTF 2, they only needed it during the instant the lightning hit), what matters is energy (time integral of power). Since we can store energy in various forms and need not generate it at the same rate we use it, you can use the engine's alternator over a long period of time to charge capacitors, then discharge it over a very short period of time. Charge power is vastly lower than discharge power because the times are very different.

With only 2½ minutes of run time, our forefathers had to be very expedient when making dirty home movies.

This was like a pop culture quote omnibus for the ages.
Silent? 2.5min runtime? So... It's basically analog gif maker?
GIFs and UFO footage, yes!
Was this the type of film that Clark Griswold was watching when he was stuck in the attic?
Possibly, or maybe 16mm
@@gstcomputing65 more likely it was standard 8mm, given when it was supposed to have been shot.

Broken terminal: when one problem become one more... always the case when repairing old items.
Every 10 minute job is only one broken bolt away from a 3 day ordeal.

Vaseline is a dielectric grease, I have taken to putting that on my battery spring terminals to prevent corrosion.. Seems to work thus far.
5:37 That's what she said
It's a good thing that it's a silent camera, imagine trying to hear any sound over that motor
Trying to remember all the quotes from the movies and tv shows so Ben doesnt feel crazy alone
We still have my grandpas super8, never tried getting it going

Idea: Backrooms - only with glimpses of prowling Bud instead of guys in hazmat suits. Solid gold, man. Solid gold.

Now film Bud! You really are creative with solving problems.
Nice!

Crazy effort to save the stock AA battery enclosure. Death before lipo.
good waiting more now
film archivist here! the standard frame rate for super 8 is 18fps. (16fps for 8mm, 24fps for 16mm and 35mm.)
The standard rate was 18fps, but many sound (and some silent) cameras offered 24fps also. I own several items of 24fps super-8 hardware.
@ i’ve scanned many super 8 films with a mag track and the vast majority of them, even with sound, were 18fps. film was expensive and consumers didn’t want to burn through it more quickly than they already were.
@ChristopherBarnatt love your videos. Look forward to each one. Thank you for the work you do... it's nice to see you on comments here.
Yes the other cameras I've found are 18.
Neat!
1.21 Gigawatts - no problem with wire size if you've got superconductance.
Also, speaking of junk science - _Ohms_ of electricity!?!?
Should I just fix mine then it’s so funny how you saw this three days ago
This is more like spring steel...😅
Yeah it was...
What about super conductors..?
The sound film was always with issues. Except for the 8mm buy film . Yes you could buy Disney short films. Those were great for film night.
If you take scenes from all of the Jurassic Park movie, you could make something close to the book but will have characters appear and disappear.
The first three movies I think you meant? But yes.
Actually, they never specify the amps needed. The higher voltage, the smaller the cable. Maybe it was only like 0.000000001 amps

"Why couldn't they just hardwire this" 🙈🙉🙊
Jiga or Giga, both are correct. I prefer Jiga.
I second this. Either Jiga or Giga wprks fine, as long you don't say "niga" by mistake.
6:00 what lol
14:08 hehe
21:48 parafocal too meesa thinky
Before you use that in public, be sure to paint an orange tip on it.
surprised the view finder didn't turn into putty
Make some UA-cam shorts filmed with 8mm
Yeah, too bad they never made Spaceballs 2 or History of the World Part II :D
First😂🎅🎁🎄
