It\u2019s expensive, unpredictable and takes up tonnes of space in your bag. On top of that, the results of your shoot are a total mystery while on site.<\/p>\n<p>These days we have pocket-sized cameras with full frame sensors. They can shoot high-speed 4k video onto microscopic SD cards. You can upload your shoot to your laptop immediately.

It was a total game changer and is how families across the world were first able to capture home movies without any fuss.<\/p>\n<p>The format is alive and well today. And with the development of high-quality scanners, Super 8 film has never looked better.<\/p>\n<p>Introduced in 1979,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/global.canon\/en\/c-museum\/product\/cine300.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canon\u2019s 1014 XL-S<\/a>\u00a0was their last professional Super 8 camera and is still considered one of the best ever made. With a fast f\/1.4 lens, 10x optical zoom, digital timing circuit, and crystal clear split-image focusing, it is hands-down the most comfortable and modern feeling Super 8 camera around.<\/p>\n<p>A nice bonus \u2014 the 1014 allows for automatic or manual control. So, if you feel like shooting your next short stock footage film or grabbing some candid memories on the fly, Canon\u2019s last-best-Super 8-around might be the film intro you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n      \n              \n        \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1169424.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/1169424\/sunrise-cigarette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><u>KYNAN TAIT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_61a8fc170f859\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <h2>Get framed<\/h2>\n<p>Because film footage has a 4:3 aspect ratio, you\u2019re going to end up with black bars on the left and right of your frame when viewed on any sort of modern TV.<\/p>\n<p>Even clients interested in an analog look will likely want to crop your footage to fit a 16:9 widescreen frame.
