Good to have you back, but I couldn't answer your question about "It's ALIVE" though.

Hi Eric,welcome to the super 8 world again!! [Smile]

Remember....digital is just tv projected,Film is a LIVE piece of history with his own life...and Yes!! "Its alive" is on super 8,i have a print with a great colour that was release in Spain by the brand "Foher Films" is a little bit rare to find but not impossible. [Wink]

Long life to super 8!! [Big Grin]

Well, there you go!

Jose's right! Film does have that special character all it's own, but you know that as well. I went through the VHS years, the Laserdisc years (still have those) and now the DVD and soon blu-ray years ...

... and though it scratches, looses color from time to time and even breaks and is not even as sharp at most times, there's a supremem fondness for it!
