Super 8mm Cine Film News
| We have just
purchased a Canon 814-XLS Super 8 Cine film camera. These
cine cameras where made from 1979 onwards to combat the
emerging dominance of video. This Cine Camera is considered
by many to be one the finest Super 8 cameras ever made. |
 |
| Canon 814_XLS technical
information. This camera offers a sync-output connection
allowing the user to set the exact film rate of this camera.
Single frame, 9, 18, 24, and slow-motion 54fps are all available.
The camera has a two speed electric zoom.You can also set
the zoom to manual. The camera allows iris fades in either
direction. Also, the variable shutter allows you to fade
out the scene with the shutter instead of the aperture.
Also featured are both 10 and 20 second self-filming modes
and the interval meter offers settings of 1, 5, 20 and 60
seconds between exposures. Another great feature is the
button that locks the aperture at your current setting.
This is an important feature to maintaining a professional
look to your films. |

Within the next few weeks we
will be testing this camera using Kodak 64T Cine film.
Once the film has been processed we will Transfer the
Cine To DVD and then post a streaming video example on
this website.
NOTE If you are thinking of buying a
Super 8 camera please make sure that it can correctly
auto expose Kodak 100D Cine Film. |

| We are in the process of writing a shooting
script for a pop video which will be a video of 2 half's.
Part of the video will be shot on Super 8mm to create a
1970`s look to bring to life the bands childhood. The other
half will be shot on High Definition video to reflect the
present day. |
Sound recording with Super8
We have just invested in a Zoom sloid state sound recorder. This amazing machine can record up to 24-bit/ 96kHz |
 |
When recording sound separately for film or video you have to synchronize the sound to picture.
Pluraleyes software from Singular software is a very clever piece of software that automatically synchronises the sound to picture within Final Cut Pro. |

| We are in the process of launching a company called super8 films for Pop and wedding videos shot by us in Super 8 |
