Regular 8mm flight of the kite

First ever 8mm film...all test footage, was given a really good condition Tower T-185 camera, wanted to test it out and this is what came of it. The quality is GREAT off the projector but poor on youtube. Its amazing how sharp the picture is off the projector.

Music:

Tortoise - Night Air

@Kitworrall hellloooo :) where are you from? i get my film from a place called "yale film & video" here in burbank, california. You can order it from their website. 8mm and super 8 film is kind of pricey. Its about $30 for 50 feet of film (3 minutes) plus processing. I shipped my film to them they process it and ship it back.

Let me know if you have any other questions about that camera. I like my tower better than my canon super 8 camera. :)

What is it about this song and 8MM films? We had an "8MM porno party" - had a bunch of wacky cool old porn on 8MM...guess which song we picked to go with it...

@skyefleming i picked this song because its was the perfect length for me to just throw it on top of the footage i had with out editing...plus it thought i suited it ;)

Hey man. Nice footage. Def should get a telecine done. What is that music btw?

[MarioLoco03]

Thanks. and I know, the quality on here does no justice to the actual reel. The song is called Night Air by Tortoise.

Just look on ebay, thats where i got mine. They can go from $20-$300+ I bought a canon 518 super 8 just recently for $60 its in perfect working order as far as i can tell. I havent got to use film yet, so once i film something then i'll know for sure.
