Participants will learn how to operate a Super 8 camera to realize their vision on film! They can also learn how to hand-process Super 8 B&W reversal film as an additional option.
Our instructors will give an introduction to the history and aesthetics of Super 8 by showing examples. Participants will be introduced to the basics of camera technology, the functionalities of the camera models at hand and some basic cinematography rules - just to break them later on. After some little hands-on exercises, the group will brainstorm ideas and start developing their film projects. At the end of the workshop day, participants will leave with a Super 8 camera and one cartridge of Kodak Tri-X (B&W positive film) to shoot their film over the course of the week.
On the following Saturday, the cameras and films will be returned to the instructors. The filmmakers can learn how to hand-process Kodak Tri-X for an additional fee.
The next day, we will have a screening party (open to friends & family of the workshop participants) and project the unedited Super 8 footage.
