Synthnut's SUPER 8 pages
|
| Not another obsolete thing I hear you cry? No, Super 8 is definitely
alive and kicking still! Whilst most people put their Super 8 cameras in
the loft and forgot about them in favour of video, a hardcore of devotees
has continued to support this narrow gauge medium. I had had a brief and
somewhat abruptly curtailed experience (my camera was run over!) with
Standard 8 in the mid eighties, but now I'm an avid supporter of small
scale celluloid. So why? Well, after viewing some of my relatives silent
8mm home movies and being utterly captivated by the magic, I was just
hooked. Film has an evocative quality that video just can't capture. One
can get bogged-down in endless technical one-upmanship between film and
video (and in my mind film wins in most aspects ) but the thing is, I don't care!
Something about light passing through film, the colours, the whole look
and feel is
just mesmerizing...
Check out Elliot Bristow's truly mesmerising Road Dreams as an example
of just how engrossing Super 8 can be:
