- Lots of people are asking to use the footage in projects, please feel free!
Finally got my hands on some color negative film for my Super 8 camera and some friends and I drove over to Santa Monica to play with it!
Thanks to Dino for handling the telecine for us and helping keep film alive at USC! - Фільми й анімація
7 years later, and this is still among the best videos on the internet. Much love
Is it just me or is everything more beautiful on film?
it indeed is
The Loser Club It’s an illussion.
Jimmy Gunawan You think so?
MultiTechnoDog Yes, our brain is easily tricked. Try shooting 60 fps 4K, then ise app like 8 mm, chop the quality into 24 fps, add film grades, noise, lens simulation, maybe flickers sound... and voila, nostalgic feeling.
Jimmy Gunawan So your basically saying film can be easily duplicated in software without the need of a super 8 camera. But some will say it's not like the real thing (Super 8)
I'm a sucker for these kind of things. it's like vinyls vs digital. analog always wins, in my opinion
I was expecting Tobey Maguire's goofy face to appear at any minute...
Lovely footage btw!
I live in LA, I grew up hanging out in samo and the westside (im 19). Dude you capture all the things that make this part of the city beautiful, like that beautiful that people who live here end up forgetting about because they see it everyday. Thank you for sharing this
Super 8 looks so beautiful omg
this was a beautiful sample of super 8 footage!!!!!
i could watch it a 100 times.
obsessed with these kind of videos!! wish life could just be seen in super 8...wouldn’t that be rad!! the good vibes that radiate through film and the memories you get to capture are truly impeccable. film is truly amazing.
Very nice film. Even though it was shot recently it looks incredibly nostalgic.Very good editing and flow. It could bring tears to the eye of an older person.
perfect video, pretty girls, awesome lighting, editing, and a song on vinyl
Good on you. Your sunsets look superb. Thank you for keeping a vital medium alive!
This is totally what peace looks like
A fun, uplifting film to watch. Good job!
Beautiful!
love everything about this!!
this is gorgeous congrats on making such a beautiful film :)
They have got the 1977 California vibe to a tee
This is fantastic. Well done!
This is beautiful.
love this too much
I love your video!! Great job!
it looks so great!
As a Super8 shooter I can say you grabbed some very nice shots. Well done.
Thank you. I find this most enjoyable.
Love it 🙌🏻
Great job, Now I like this one. The music makes all the difference in the world and some don't get it. Spielberg once said the music has to fit like a glove. I think it does in this case. So far this is one of my favs
I really enjoyed the video. Thank you
This was an amazing video. I just found a Sears Super 8 C-125 at good will for $4. Almost mint condition. I'd definitely like to see more footage.
Damn son. Checking in from NYC . . . this video is amazing.
That is really cool! I wish more people would shoot on Super-8.
this is amazing
Very well done! I'm considering getting a super 8 camera, it just seems that it would get expensive quickly. Again, great job!
Love it.
This is so cool makes me want to buy a Super 8!
AWESOME
sufficient T&A, thanks
I live in LA and I know Santa Monica is a landmark beach, but all the locals know it is the nastiest beach on the west coast hands down lmao
johnny jerico haha hence why we stayed on the pier 😂
Damn this really makes me want to buy a camera like this and go down to the beach with it here in Florida... this looks so good
so cool!
The person who's filming looked to be a time traveller, who came from the past to future and brought a camera with him....hahah
Hi could I use some parts of your video for a project please? Its very beautiful
beauuuutiful.
...very nice !....
awesome
thats so awesome i wanna use this as a full videoclip for my sound.. just amazing real feelings real girls.. probs
Charming!
Amazing video!! Which kind of file format did you use for the digital conversion? Did you use full HD or 2k?
Hi! I really loved this video! It makes me feel so nostalgic. I have a question: where did you get this version of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"? It doesn't sound like the well known one (the way how B.J.Thomas sung it sounds really different to me, this is another take). Thanks a lot!!!
dober zabaven film,lepa dekleta.
If it wasn't for the late model cars, I almost thought it was from the 1970's
keep coming back here and watching. Im still waiting for a follow up
Awesome! Just put my Super8 video online!
It seems very good. What kind of Kodak have you used? 200T...?
Very nice :) What film stock did you use? Have tried a few and not got anything that looks anywhere as near as good as that yet!
Hi, did you film at 24fps? how long does a 50ft cartridg last? I wanna buy a super 8 camera and film, but I have been reading that a 50ft cartridge (35 euros here in Berlin) only films 2 minutes and 40 sec!
I have envy sir, got my eyes on a super 8, but no idea where to find film. I'm happy for you :)
+Rean Combrinck Kodak is still selling, and as of a month or so ago, once again processing Super 8 film. Also Pro8mm in Burbank, CA has a great selection and they process and telecine as well.
Lovely film
beautiful footage, do you mind if i use some of the clips for one of my videos? :)
Nice dude ! where did u get this developed/ scanned and about how much did it run you? I grew up by USC and live in LA now :) lovely places!
+Roy Castro Thanks! Got it processed at Pro8mm in Burbank for about $20. Then the film archivist at USC Cinema scanned it for me. Said he's always up to help students who actually want to shoot film haha - can't imagine who wouldn't!
don't go there but will love to shoot super 8 haha I'm a film only photographer. never will i leave it! shall hang and shoot man!
+Zack Hosseini I have a roll that will need scanning after I send it out to get developed. Do you have an email or some way I can reach the guy?
+Zack Hosseini Lovely video :) Do you have an email for the film archivist, I'm looking for an affordable place to have a music video I shot on 8mm scanned. Thanks!
+Roy Castro Pro8mm is probably the best place for you, if you live in the US: www.pro8mm.com/
For the UK I would recommend: www.gaugefilm.co.uk/
I have a super 8 camera, its lots of fun :)
Hi! Which camera did you use for this? :P The video is so cool!
What cartridge did you use?
What kind of camera did you use
What 8mm camera were you using to film?
What kind of film cartridge did you use?
Kodak Vision3 50D
@@ZackHosseini ¿really? ¿night?
what film did you use?
Color movie film usually turns red over the years. Somehow, your colors have remained vibrant, rich and full of color.
How did you digitize the film?
What camera did you use?
Hey, could you help me out? I just bought a canon 814 model. Before I start shooting, I want to learn more about how to actually use it. Are you able to pause and resume shooting again? So you can capture different things at different times? Or do you have to shoot straight through until your cartridge is used up?
loren fin You can stop shooting and start again later, but you can't remove the cartridge until it's used up.
1:00 Viola!
Hello. Could you please tell me what specific film stock you used? Was it the same for night and day? The image is flawless in high and low light. I am amazed! Also, what specific kind of camera is it?
In another comment he wrote 50D film. I actually don't think it's that flawless in the low light. Would have benefited from throwing in some 250D during the sunset shots.
I smiled:)
What film stock is this? 500T, 50D?
Kodak Vision3 50D
everything got really red, is that because you finished a roll of daylight film at night?
Amazing! What is the framerate? It does not seem to be 18 fps, does it?
Probably scanned at 24 fps to give it a film look
Did you guys use Pro8mm?
I live like 5 minutes away from them :) I love shooting on Super8
Pro8mm? You need to sell a lung in the black market to scan & process Super8 film there.
Gosh, even film cartidges there cost twice as much as an original Kodak Vision3. it's like 50$ a pop! :\
well yeah. All film is expensive. If you think about it, 16mm is WAY more expensive and the cost of the pro8 film includes free processing.
RET80 Wait, what?
Ok, lets clear out some things, my friend :]
1. You wanna tell me that if I buy a 45$-50$ Super8 cartdige from Pro8mm store- then this price is already including free processing when I ship it back to them?!
If that's true, then I will totally reconsider them [even though it's like their custom film cartidge, and I, for some reason, just like better the thought of using a Kodak Vision3 film..].
2. Actually, I just read somewhere that 16mm price is actually cheaper than 8mm, since you get more foot of film with 16mm, so when you do the calculation- it's actually cheaper! sounded weird to me at first, but, hey! worth doing a research about that :]
Hey - do what you want man, if you want to correct me, be my guest. I'm just stating that I enjoy their goods and services. I've been using them since 2006 and I enjoy what they produce for me. As for their cartridges, they are Pro8mm cartridges but they are 're-branded' so-to-speak. It will say 'Pro8mm' on them, but it's still Kodak Vision 3 500t or whichever you choose. They'll mention it if you call them.
Here's the link for their stocks:
www.pro8mm.com/super-8-film-stocks/
You'll see that they do indeed sell Vision 3 and also Fuji Eterna. Their stock prices are $45 which includes processing which is great. NOW That doesn't include telecine. That's an additional cost. They will develop it only. I believe their telecine cost is $99 an hour. What I'll do is shoot 3-4 cartridges, and some 16mm stock too and just give it all to them at the same time so the cost per roll is cheaper because they can process 2-3 rolls (roughly) in an hour.
Speaking of 16mm...
16mm isn't cheaper. From where I get it. For example: www.pro8mm.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=01&Category_Code=16flm
You'll notice that for 100ft of Super 16mm it's actually $70, albeit it also includes processing too.
Here's some stock all by itself, from a vendor here in Hollywood (Spectra) and yet, still more expensive than Super 8 with processing...
www.spectrafilmandvideo.com/Film.html
the rule of thumb is, the bigger the gauge of film, the more expensive it will be, hence why Super 8mm was so tantalizing. It's a small gauge, cheap and still (with a decent camera) you can get a nice film look.
Try 4k scanning too, it's GORGEOUS! :)
16mm is $130.00 for 10mn.
Super8 between $100 to$160.00 for 10min. Depends where you buy film.
Wow. Very impressed with the shots and the music choice. Please tell us what camera you used.

Is that John Candy driving? Looks like him in Stripes!
Hey! if you don't mind me asking, what film did you guys use for this? And how much did it cost you? I have a Super 8 Cannon Auto Zoom 814 and I cannot find film for the life of me. I don't want to be a bum but how long did each film last for you? Thanks!
I have the same camera! If you want to shoot color, Kodak VISION3 500T Color Negative Film #7219 should do the trick. If you want to do black and white, then Kodak Tri-X Reversal will do it. You can google them and buy them off the B&H website. Just make sure it's super 8. I also have a whole color sample on my channel; good luck!
i neeeeeeeeed the name of that song pls!!
I have a Kodak Cine Model 20, if anyone knows much on it. It's be great. I want to start making a movie soon ☺️❤️ :) And I wanna shoot in color negative as well
Hey awesome video! Quick question: is this 18 or 24 fps?
Seth Dickfield this looks like 24 fps from the look of the smooth capture and amount of time in this
This is why you go to Santa Monica when they ask you if you wanna go to Santa Monica
DINO
Did you get color correction when you developed it?
Nah I just color graded the scanned footage myself
On a summer's day you feel the warmth coming off film, with electronic the Sun could be shining but you have no idea when it was taken-a cold day in winter or a hot summer's day?
Witheredgoogie id say probably spring/ summer assuming by the way everyone’s dressed.
Just shooting with film, makes it look vintage.
+Nomoreidsleft It doesn't have to be anymore, it depends on the type of film you buy... You'll be surprised!
+Toby Whaymand I think vintage is what the intention of this video. But, if you used film and it looks like digital, then why bother with film?
which camera did you use? :)

Ahhhhhh, back when face masks and social distancing weren't a thing.
Right? This feels nostalgic in a whole new way now.
