What an inventive idea. How did you get the super 8 to sync with the sound?

That was brilliant! How did you deal with the sound? Shoot it first and take notes of exactly where the sound effects & dialog should fall?

[Kinematographer]

Hi thank you, I joined a DV camera (£15 from a charity shop!) to the super8, the onboard microphone recorded the sound of the shutter and the camera followed the same panning shots etc. By analising the soundwaves, i could cut a digital version around what I thought had come out on the Super8. you might notice a jump in the murder scene, here the super8 jammed! Later I recorded the dialogue and hoped it fit-it did! Most of the foley work is me with paper, doors, etc, etc.

Very ingenious!  Kind of like a homemade video assist. I've been thinking about entering one of those "Attack of the 50 Foot Reels" shows someday. Now if I need sync effects I know how it might be done.
