Super 8 Film Stocks

Though released by Kodak in 1965, the Super 8 camera is alive and well in the world of photography. Professional-grade movies are still shot on its film, and its vintage offerings have stood up to the test of time. A wide variety of films are available to use and enjoy.

Super 8 film refers to the film made and utilized by the Super 8 camera. As a particular kind of 8-millimeter film, it's readily accessible in the world of filmmaking. Logically, Super 8 stock works with the matching camera. It's prized by photographers and videographers for the images' distinctive signature look.

In order to view the Super 8 movie or movies you have, you’ll have to pick between several options, as listed below. While you can simply hold the stock up to a light and go through the cells, any one of these options will give you an authentic viewing experience.

• Projectors: A compatible projector is an easy way to play back a Super 8 movie.
• Convert to Digital: If you don't have a compatible projector, you also have the option to convert the film roll to a digital format. This can either be accomplished by conversion machinery and software or finding a service capable of doing it.
• Specialized Viewers: Thirdly, there exist film viewers through which you can play back or edit footage. One type is a manual version that "plays" a movie by rolling through the film via cranking a lever. Electronic viewers also exist.

Perhaps the most important guideline to follow when owning Super 8 stock is to keep it out of light and heat. This can apply to any number of locations in a household, but consider storing your films in a refrigerator or freezer to better keep the cells from deteriorating. If you plan on keeping your Super 8 film stock for a long time, the freezer is preferable. Keep the rolls in their packages when not in use; an additional bag over the packaging will help ward off excess moisture.

Whether or not the movie has sound depends on the type of film used to record it. Those that do will have a golden strip along the edge opposite the sprocket holes. Sound is still rare on Super 8 footage, albeit more common than on 8-millimeter films.
