I think "Pro8mm" supplied most of the equipment and props for the the actual Super8 feature.
At the time of of its cinema screening I brought in a Super 8 camera to show our staff a bit about it, one thing for sure they were more interested in the Super 8 camera than any video unit
Cant believe its been 12 years since I ran the 35mm print of Super 8, its quite scary how quickly time passes the older you get. Anyway on a brighter note it was once again the blu-ray projected using the Epson tonight. The blu-ray screen shots below are from a previous screening. I am still kicking myself for not finding a way to hang onto the film print, only a couple of weeks before we closed they wanted it back, only for the prints to get destroyed in a landfill.
PS I should add the Super 8 Scope trailer is very good
Haven't actually watched it but sure it is more sentimental twaddle with large dollop of maple syrup from Spielbergg in the twilight of his career. It is an annoying title has hundreds of copies pop up on eBay for sale.
I really enjoy the nostalgic scenes of the kids making their movie, picking up the developed footage and screening it, however to me the alien story is the weakest part. It is great that their finished film is included on the disc.

Who can remember watching this for the first time in a cinema?, well I did and its stuck in my mind as one of the best introductions to a film I can think of. I went with friends to the old La Scala cinema when I was about 14 years old. Tonight it was the turn of the excellent blu-ray, projected using the Epson VP. Its a long one at 3 hours, but has a intermission for a break. Hard to take in, that its now been 57 years since I watched it at a cinema. These days I find I have to be in the right frame of mind to sit through long movies, tonight was one of them. I find films like "The Sand Pebbles" are timeless and are worth a watch every so often. This scene of when Steve McQueen arrives at the San Pablo and says "Hello Engine" was brilliant, and one the viewer never forgets
Well tonight I went fishing again I really hope that this 1975 film will get a 3D blu-ray release as it did in certain cinemas last year, sadly it never came here in that format .In saying that its still nice to step back in time every so often
Screen shots are from a previous blu-ray screening, its hard to imagine its getting close to 50 years now since it was first made
Last night it was "Deepwater Horizon", tonight its "The Day After Tomorrow" both movies are very good and the blu-ray quality with both picture and sound are excellent. Its interesting that I once had the 35 mmm trailer for "The Day After Tomorrow" as its one film we ran at the cinema, but no idea what happened to it, although it was very short.
"The Day After Tomorrow" came out way back in 2004, I can't help but feel that due to to climate change we are seeing at present, this film does make you think where we are going. Although certainly not as extreme as shown in the film, it is food for thought.
I remember taking Steven to the cinema to see this one when he was young, we both enjoyed it and to this day we still do, watched blu-ray on my own the other night
Its not the first time I have watching this amazing footage on blu-ray projected using the Epson VP, and it certainly wont be the last. It really looks fantastic. I would say the best record of "Apollo 11" I have ever seen and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting the blu-ray.
Just watched the 1943 Titanic film, made in Germany, the new blu-ray release is very good with the sound being alot clearer and the picture being cleaned up of alot, also the special features are very good including the 1920s short filmed onboard Olympic Titanic's older sister.
Two night ago I have watched this blu-ray a few times now, mostly in 3D which looks brilliant on the Epson VP, The other night it was the 2D version, not as good as the 3D but still fun to watch.
I haven't seen this, but I remember Spider Baby was one of CineSea co-founder John Black's favorite films of all time. He was so happy when the DVD was first released. He would have loved this Blu-ray's special features.
