Filmmaker Spotlight: Ignacio Benedeti
06/17/2020
Ignacio Benediti lives in Spain and blogs in Spanish. We think he is probably the best known aficionado on Super 8 projection the world has ever seen. He also knows and shares his filmmaking experiences on a wealth of super 8 topics including Single 8, Super 8 prints, optical blow-ups to16mm . He is the founder /CEO of IB Cinema. He is a wealth of information and so knowledgable that we follow him religiously, using software to translate his blogs into English. In Europe there is a very different Super 8 culture than in the USA. Ignacio shares a much more physical Super 8 experience with lots of film projection and working with very traditional Super 8 processes.
Pro8mm Tech Talk: Shooting Color Negative Film for Black and White Images
05/19/2020
In Super 8 we have a dedicated black and white film stock that has a unique look. Known as Tri-X, at Pro8mm, we call it Super8/66. Tri-X has been around since the 1940’s for both still and moving image photography. But because it is a reversal film is has a very limited amount of exposure latitude, at a fixed ASA of 200. For this reason a lot of projects that want the black and white film look choose to shoot on color negative film, and turn the film to black and white in editing.
Finding a Super 8 Camera
05/18/2020
The first chapter in our re-write of 'The Power of Super 8 Film' book is now available! The first chapter titles 'Finding a Super 8 Camera.' Putting your hands on a Super 8 film camera should not be that difficult to do. Between In the 1965s and 80 over 65 million were sold. I once read that at its peak, 1 in 5 households in the U.S. had a Super 8 film camera. In addition, most things were made of metal back in those days. By today’s standards, they were way over-designed to last. The manufacturers began to change to plastic in the mid 1970’s so older Super 8 film cameras are often some of the best. It is not that unusual to find a 50-year-old working Super 8 film camera.
