So I was kinda just sitting there thinking about how much cooler 8mm film looks than digital and how cool effects can be easily done (the example provided includes footage from a tape the editor found in the middle of a forest, so it was all waterlogged) and how fake the filets provided on imovie and stuff look. I was wondering, has anypony ever tried filming with an 8mm camera, or any other sort of camera that's not digital? I can guess that back in the days of yore people worked on stuff like The Magic Portal with actual film cameras because of course digital stuff did not exist back then, but how in the world do you do this? I can see a lot of potential in this kind of thing, but as I was born into the digital age I have never even touched one of these cameras. I just thought that this would provoke some interesting ideas.
