David Mathis, maybe Kodak has been reading your posts here. Check this out:

“Kodak says that it will launch multiple Super 8 cameras, film development services and post production tools as part of its Super 8 Revival plan.”

“The first new Super 8, expected to arrive in a limited-edition version in the fall of 2016, was conceived with help from the industrial designer Yves Behar. It is likely to cost between $400 to $750, Mr. Clarke estimated. Processing the film should cost $50 to $75 a cartridge, he said. Mr. Clarke expects in 2017 a lower-cost version aimed at a broader audience.”

$1800/hr in processing will get those shooting ratios back down, right?

In other news, Wells Fargo is reviving the stage coach. Not sure if it’s going places…

Wow! This is exciting!
I do know that the Super 16 format is still alive as well. Bolex still makes the cameras but at a higher price. I was lucky to find a used one on eBay for the price of FCP X, in very good condition. Now if only that film scanner was not expensive that would be great.
I just wonder if the Super 8 movie, not seen it yet, had anything to do with this resurgence. Who knows, maybe 8 Track will be brought back to life. Stranger things have happened.
Remember kids, X marks the spot as in FCP X.

That is a surprise. Perhaps people see analog as a solid and groovy format. Who knows what will happen with VHS next. Nothing like that blinking 12:00 AM because the power went out.

Hipsters! Rejoice!

Next up for revival, the wax cylinder:

Will this revived film fit in my old super-8 camera? Sprocket-wise?

If it weren’t for cassette tapes, what would we use pencils for?
