          The Power of Super 8 Film Boot Camp! September 11 & 12, 2010! 

Super 8 filmmaking is growing as a production medium, used to punctuate and contrast digital cinema and new media. Phil Vigeant, Super 8 expert, author, and Pro8mm President will draw from his 35 years of experience, covering the entire Super 8 workflow.

The boot camp will teach you what you need to know to use Super 8 film in theatrically released features, music videos, commercials, TV shows, documentaries, weddings and more. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and format incompatibility issues, along with best practices in shooting, processing, scanning and editing. Things are moving so fast that this is an essential workshop for any filmmaker who is working with Super 8 film and wants it put onto file formats.

  • Essential shooting tips and options in processing, such as cross processing, push/pull and DIY hand processing.
  • Scanning systems completely defined – SD/HD/One Light/Color Correction, from film chain to the advanced Millennium 2 4K Scanner with Y Front Technology.
