A super 8 kodachrome summer weekend in Rome, Italy.

It was a super hot summer: August 2003 in Rome, Italy (fantastic place too!). Shot some nice rolls - actually my last stocks of Kodachrome K40 super 8 film with a compact BRAUN NIZO 156XL MACRO camera & finally got round to getting them telecined & edited only this year. Enjoy this short trailer/clip which is my swan-song to the end of Kodak's great colourful era: Kodachrome K40 film - which is now sadly no more...:( Other film stock used here: Kodak Tri-x (B&W).

I was wondering, how did you get this on the computer?

@Bighairyballz The super 8 film was scanned via flashscan direct to HDD.

this is beautiful. im a analogue photographer getting my first super 8 soon. this is perfect. i what i wanted ot ask though was how many roles did u shoot to get the final thing? i think im under the illusion that im gonna take one maybe two rolls on a weekend holiday and get nice 3 minute clip edited at the end of it! i have a feeling your gonna tell me thats not the case!

@DJarkham Many thanks for your nice comment. The clip is edited mainly to fit the music track length from an original 10min holiday short. I seem to remember x6 rolls shot in total = x4 K40 & x2 Tri-x (b&w) & only the best scenes used here:) Best of luck shooting your holiday!

I'm sorry, but as good as HD, and DV, and all the new technologies are , NOTHING will ever beat Super 8 Film. The look, speed, quality, it's all just great!!

Nice! Its 2003 but it looks 1960s. Super 8 is cool.
