What is an 8 mm movie? Is there a 16mm movie?

1April, 965, Kodak unveiled the prologue of super 8mm film. At that time, this revolutionary film format had more advantages than its big brother (double 8 mm). The film is packed in an opaque black plastic film box, so that the negative can be easily loaded into the camera and the danger of light leakage of precious images can be avoided. The cassette can prevent light leakage and has a solid structure. The box does not need to be pierced and turned over. ; The entire 50-foot-long film cassette does not need to be interrupted during shooting. The perforation size is reduced, but the picture area is increased, which is about 50% more than the standard 8mm film, making the obviously improved super 8 mm more comparable to 16 mm film. The perforation is also moved to the center of the frame, which makes it easier to locate the smooth film. The new film can't produce two kinds of films: "sunlight balance" and "A type" (tungsten lamp balance). Because all kinds of super 8 mm cameras have built-in color filters, they can shoot "A-type" (tungsten lamp balance) film under various light sources.

Super 8 mm has achieved unprecedented success in the home film and professional film production market. With the changes in the market in the past 40 years, a new generation of filmmakers once again embraced this small film. In fact, many great cinematographers and directors started their careers by using super 8mm film many years ago-Peter Jackson, Michael Goi, ASC, Darling Okada, ASC, don burgess, ASC, wally pfister, ASC, ellen kuras, ASC and Brian Reynolds.
