Thanks for watching! - Jak na to + styl
Genuinely one of the most concise factual informational video dumps I’ve ever experienced. I just bought this video camera on a gut whim and was prepared for a big learning curve. Anyways hank you man for creating this. You wanted to share and I learned so much, so quickly - I appreciate it. I appreciate the way you are. Props to you.
Can you make a more in depth video on like where you got it developed and all the stuff you need to know about getting it developed and editing it
Pro 8mm. go to their website. I got my camera there and they also develop and all!
@@VERONICA-nq1xt which site
Really enjoyed your video, very informative and entertaining at the same time. I've had a Canon 814 XL-S that has been sitting on my desk as a paperweight for some years and recently have started to use it again and I'm loving it! I really enjoyed the skate video at the end, very well done and props for keeping up with the fast moving skateboarders, that is harder than it looks! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and look forward to more videos from you!
Steve Reganato Awesome glad you liked it Steve! Planning to do some more super 8 stuff this year
Ciao ..Amico!!Today, speaking with an obista, he told me this .... that .CANON 814 XL-S XLS..and. The biggest curse on the market are faulty the gears of the shutter coupling and the claw break? true?
Just getting back into this myself after about 20 years. I actually found the app too and it is super helpful. You can also use it for focal lengths etc. Would love to see more of your Super 8 stuff.
I haven't used the focal length feature to be honest but I should try it out!
Thank you so much Zach!
That focusing trick seems pretty neat
Great tutorial! Loved the video at the end. Did you use the 50D film for the color part of your video?
I’m not gonna check the rest of the comments or the description in case anyone else has already pointed it out but I’m assuming the song at the back in the first 2 minutes is something by Khruangbin. If I’m right it’s so amazing how recognizable spencer Lee’s guitar playing is
Probably someone already wrote this, but you kinda misunderstood the concept of the Kodak Super8 camera. It records on tape but gives you an electrical view finder / screen to improve framing etc. The only thing that it does records digitally is the sound. You still need to get the films processed etc. But it's a cool camera anyway. Great video BTW! Keep them coming!
What the hell lmao I've been looking into super 8 lately and it was a total mental flashbang seeing the intro on one of these vids. Talk about range man lol
Sweet look at this amazing cam!
Thanks!! Can't beat that family video feel.
@@ZackDowdy so true!!! Still love watching old vids from my child hood.
@@ZackDowdy Zack, can you watch this short video on Super 8 video that I made czcams.com/video/5_ykXdYHHfw/video.html
Man this was awesome!! Such good tips that aren’t obvious! I have the same camera, it’s my parents old super 8, but I can’t get it working. Everyone says it’s cheaper to just buy a Woking one but it’s sentimental so I kind of want to fix it. Is there any hidden batteries or quick fixes I’m missing? That you can think of off the top of your head? Cheers!
love the edit at the end
Rdglive Thank you! I’m working on a “How to edit Super 8” 🤘
Zack Dowdy awesome man speaking of editing did you record the actual film camera rolling sound or was it like a stock soundboard one you found?
I’ve been back and forth with different super 8 cameras… would my best bets for a camera be Ebay, Craigslist or Etsy? I like this camera tho so far. Thank you for the video!
Hey! It was a nice and interesting video. Thanks a lot!
Thnks for the info, why dokt you choose 514XL? is there a huge difference?
You may want to correct the part about the use of daylight filter.
Thanks
@0:30 - What's that 1st song in the background called? Loved that groove!
Hey Zach, do you have link for film roll purchases? Think I may have missed it.
Any info on what film I would need for a xl55?
When do you know when your film is done and you can unload is safely?
Could you do a side by side test with the android app which is Super 16 by Dmitry Shatilov as this does super 8 etc and a normal Super 8 camera and get 500T film and video the exact same scene and compare to see if the app is like the actual film.
I noticed there's some weird artifacts around 9:45 that kinda look like digital interlacing. Was the processing different on those film clips? The rest of the footage doesn't seem to have those type of artifacts as far as I can tell.
What app is it exactly? I look and see kodak has hell of them.
I have one of these sitting in a cupboard in my back shed, wonder what it is worth?
Sup g! Thanks for the video. So if I'm shooting inside/outside on 50d = should be on the sun setting, if im shooting 200t outside/inside it should remain on the tungsten setting? did you have to use any filters when using 200t film ? cheers
Zachary Bergamin I didn’t use any filters. Think of the sun/tungsten setting as a filter! So if you’re working with Tungsten film and you’re inside, you would use the sun filter to counter balance the tungsten film.
Can you tell me a bit more about focusing? If I'm shooting say, a bride and groom at teh alter, than walking back down the aisle towards me, should I focus on (zoom in to get focus then zoom out) the couple at the alter? Or somethign even further behind them? And do I need to be chnaging my zoom a bunch as they're walking back towards me?
Zoom in once, at the scene & focus on the furthest subject. Then when you're pulling out everything stays in focus.
Hey Zack,
I’m taking an intro level film production class at university this spring, but I’m super hungry to just experiment and film myself. I’ve been thinking about dabbling with film like this or just using my iPhone with Filmic pro, maybe both. Just curious as to what think and/or would suggest.
Thank you so much!
what you think*
Cole Greenberg That’s awesome! I would start shooting and experimenting just like you said. I feel really using it will help you understand how everything functions vs apps, but those help you understand how film will look. Canon 310XL are a pretty cheap camera to start with 🤘
I got a Minolta 401 XL. Anyone knows how to set the frame rate on it?
correction on the power required. it takes AA batteries and not AAA.
hello zack want to get started in super 8mm film shooting i have someone offering me a nizo braun 4080 is this too much camera for me since i am a beginner and will it take the eckachrome kodak carttrige? should i keep looking for another model? any info would be help full
MegaKamandi That’s a awesome Super 8 camera, little more functionality then I personally desire. How much $$? I’d get the cheapest one for your first super 8 to make sure you enjoy it.
So does the Pro 8mm film kit cartridges work perfectly with a Canon 310XL?
Kevin Gonzalez Yes! It’s pretty damn seamless
is it gonna be overexposed if i'm using 500t using this camera outside on a daylight? also what asa will the camera read? since canon 310xl only read 250 tungsten max.
jss 250ASA is perfect for 500T. Kodak recommends over exposing by one stop anyways for this film. You’ll get finer grain. The V3 color negative stocks have a lot of latitude so don’t worry about over exposing. If yr using the tungsten setting and filming outside use a screw on 85 filter or color correct in post.
Have you tried the canon 510 SV? Which one do u recommend?☺️
Hey Marie, I haven't tried the 510 SV.. I've seen it and played around but no first hand experience sorry!
Awesome! How do you develop and edit the videos? Do you ship them somewhere?
pro 8 mm. look them up! ;)
when do i know that the film is finished while shooting?
I bought tungsten film on accident, but have no plans on using it indoors or under / in tungsten light. What do you think my results are gonna be, if I use it outdoors ? And should I leave the switch on the daylight or the lightbulb option ?!
what kinda of camera and film are you using? if you set to daylight, the camera’s internal 85 filter will flip into place to give the proper color temperature when yr shooting tungsten film in daylight. but generally those internal filters get dirty and old so its probably best to set the switch to tungsten so the internal filter is disengaged and use an good screw on 85 filter at the front of the lens, or you can color correct in post. The camera will read the film at different ASA values depending on which setting you have the switch on
Leave the switch in daylight if you’re shooting outdoors with tungsten, this will act as a counter balance to warm up the image.
hey! I got the exact same camera but when I go to adjust the focus, I don't see a difference in the viewfinder.. the focus of the image looking the same no matter how much I turn the focus on the lens
any tips on that or an idea as to why that is?
same problem here!
@@NoahHella did u ever figure it out?
If i was to sell mine, what is the going price?
Do you think it’s possible to film with a super 8 during a concert, or is it too dark?
Good question, I think it depends on the venue you're filming at. A lot of time stages are pretty well lit, if exposed correctly w/ the right film it can be done! Lightmeter might help in that scenario.
how do i know what is tungsten film and what isn't
WOWOWOW
I really hope they release that camera, but I don't see it happening, they didnt speak about it at all during the last ces event
Zack Abdulbaki Ah man someone else mentioned that recently might be a good thing?? Seemed nearly impossible with their price tag.
So how do I expose it ?
I can't find anything about that new camera whats it called?
They never released it: www.kodak.com/id/en/corp/blog/blog_post/?contentid=4295004933
Hey Zack! Question when you were talking about the tungsten/daylight section! Is kodak film all daylight? I am confused by your verbiage?
Let me clarify, the bulb/sun switch on Canon 310XL should be how you setup your white balance depending on your film stock.
@@ZackDowdy interesting, so theoretically if I'm shooting e100 outside, what would i shoot? sorry Im confused lol
@@metalfingersfilm E100 would be used outdoors, no correction needed. You can use any film anywhere, what you need to know is how to correct the film you're using for the situation you are in. Most Kodak color films are Tungsten but not all, there's two that are daylight natively, the 50D, the Ektachrome 100D. The more modern Super-8 cameras will "know" what type of film (Daylight or Tungsten) is put into it and will engage the compensating filter switch for use. So what you do with the switch is if you're going to be outdoors with Tungsten (T) film, use the "sun" (or whatever symbol that particular camera manufacturer used for outdoors) setting and it'll put the built in compensating filter into the optical path correcting the light to match the films native color balance. Uncorrected tungsten film in daylight will look blue, the compensating filter looks amber but to Tungsten film that level of additional orange compensation is what's needed for that film to make it correct (i.e. colors look natural). Then if you then move indoors you'd put the switch into the bulb position which takes it out, removing the correction since it is not needed for that situation. And then if you go back outside remember to put the switch back in etc. Consult your cameras manual as to how your particular camera handles this. If you didn't get a manual with your camera (this is not usual these days) usually you probably can find one through a Google search for most of the major makes (Canon, Minolta, Chinon, Beaulieu, Braun, Nikon and there are many more). I hope this helps!
...I hope :-)
I have a question regarding focusing please help! When I zoom in and all the way out, no matter how I turn the focus dial the image looks sharp no matter where the focus ring is? Is this a problem with my camera? Thank you to anyone that can help!
What Super 8 camera? Maybe you have an auto focus function? Sometimes the view finder needs to be refocused as well to make sure you're seeing the correct focus.
@@ZackDowdy It's a 310. I have heard that this camera just has to be focused by using the distance markers.
@@jackloechner6850 Yes using distance markers is more accurate, typically in a run & gun situation with super 8 having the time to map out your distance can be a bottle neck. The app I mentioned in this video does help with that as well!
Jack Loechner You should be able to find a manual for the 310 on google. usually for focusing you would zoom all the way in to the subject and focus, then you can zoom out to how you want the image to be framed. If yr camera’s viewfinder eyepiece is adjustable you wanna make sure you set it to your eyesight to get the focusing right,, best thing is to find a pdf of the manual to really figure out how to use yr camera
I have the same issue
How do you get super 8 film converted to digital?
I personally use a company called Pro8mm that transfers your film to digital via processing & scanning the film.
@@ZackDowdy pro 8mm out of los angeles
potusjordan Nicholas Coyle Film and Video Transfer. He has the best prices, way cheaper than Pro8mm but you still get a killer 2K or soon to come, 4K scan. Not to put Pro8mm down, they’ll do a very good scan. Regardless, get a scan in at least 2K if you want to get the most out of what super 8 has to offer
I know this is an old video and you might already know this, but shooting in 18fps and later playing it in 24fps produces sped up footage and it's not the same as shooting in 24fps realtime. Some super 8 cameras shot 24fps tho
how do i check the battery life??
Ralph James There’s a battery check button (Red) you press that & look through the viewfinder to see a red light indicting battery is charged
Will film stocks ever be cheap again?
Troy Luna Realistically my guess is no, inflation happens across all industries. Plus, a lot of people are part of the process, they need fair pay.
@@ZackDowdy That's reality I suppose, & fair! maybe it's a good thing
it's so expensive!? makes you have patience and capture the most important moments you see. Overall happy film is making a come back. Thanks for the kickass video! Enjoy the day and be safe .
How do you understand when the film is ending?
When you are shooting you'll see the film indicator on the camera (on the right side of the camera) moving right as you're shooting the roll. Also, once the roll is done you'll hear a small click similar to when a 35mm roll ends.
Woah! My last name is Cheaney! I wonder if I’m related

@@CarlosGutierrez-lu1kv molte grazie, amico!
I can’t even find 8mm film anywhere 😩😭
I, have some old Super 8 films, way before your time in fact ,I'm in some of them. From 1970 - 1982. Then, in 1990 My Grandfather, passed away
From colon cancer. I, cried my eyes out, it wasn't a pretty picture too see.

If you digitally changed your frame rate from 18 to 24 the footage would look 25% sped up though
And the camera never came out ……
The music is annoying and hard too hear you over. Turn it off. Also, speak slower, less mumbling. Enunciate! 🤪
