Summary

This week, Kodak announced the new Kodak Super 8 camera to be released in the Fall of 2016. This is a particularly interesting announcement considering the decline of Super 8 in film production over the years. But more importantly will be the process behind the camera. It has digital features such as a 3.5 inch display and outputs for compatibility with other equipment. But it captures on Super 8 cartridge film. When you purchase the film, you will be pre-paying the processing as well. Shoot the film, send it to Kodak and they will not only process, but scan the film for a digital download of your footage as well. http://kodak.com/ek/us/en/Consumer/Products/Super8/default.htm Twitter: http://twitter.com/tedforbes Instagram: http://instagram.com/tedforbes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aop.podcast Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/tedforbes Website: http://theartofphotography.tv And get on our mailing list to stay up to date on photography news and the latest episodes: http://theartofphotography.tv/about/mailing-list/ Ted Forbes The Art of Photography 3100 Main St #135 Dallas, Texas 75226 Thanks for watching - if you like this video, remember to share it with your friends!

0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome back to the show. This is one of those points in the year
0:03.2	where we start getting a lot of announcements from camera manufacturers about equipment they're going to be releasing in the next year.
0:08.0	And there's been a lot of announcements this week already. The one that was the most surprising to me was actually Kodak's announcement that they are going to be releasing a super 8 movie camera.
0:17.0	And this is particularly interesting because as many of you know, Kodak have had trouble in recent years and they've tried to reorganize the company and they've gone in and out of bankruptcy.
0:25.0	And I think this is a really interesting move on Kodak's part and I think it shows real change in what that company wants to do.
0:31.0	And also shows it embracing its film culture because what
0:34.7	this is is it's a super eight camera that actually is a hybrid digital analog
0:39.2	process and I want to explain that and talk about that some in this video.
0:42.8	So what they've actually announced with the Kodak Super 8 cameras, a camera that utilizes
0:47.0	analog capture, but has a lot of features that you would find on a digital camera.
0:51.0	For instance, there's a 3.5 inch swiveling digital
0:53.7	viewfinder. It's going to actually capture what it sees on Super 8 film and so
0:58.4	you're going to use cartridges for this much like you did in the old days and the
1:01.5	cartridge each one contains 50 feet of film
1:03.8	which depending on your frame rate is around 15 minutes of recording time.
1:07.1	There are going to be two lens options for this camera. There's going to be a
1:10.3	single fixed six millimeter RICO lens or you can get a zoom lens. It's a 6 to 48 RICO.
1:15.8	There is a wheel-based user interface. It has a built-in light meter, cartridge detection.
1:20.8	It also features exposure control. You'll be able to manually adjust the speed and
1:24.4	IRIS settings and it's going to have USB charging for the battery.
1:27.8	Now the frame rates on this camera are pretty interesting. You can select between 9, 12, 18, 24, or 25 frames per second.
1:34.7	Really, you're going to be able to get the best
