Having worked with Super 8mm film while growing up and 16mm film in college I'll forever be in love with the fluid motion, organic texture and shallow depth of field that film captures. Unfortunately there are major disadvantages to using Super 8mm or 16mm film as a medium for event production. Luckily the time is finally upon us - with advancements in video capture technology and accessories, it possible to accurately replicate a Super 8 look and actually improve upon its ability to convey emotion.
Actual Super 8 film's inherent drawbacks include a severely restricted amount of shooting time, excessive lighting requirements, lack easily achieved synchronized Super 8 sound recording and prohibitive Super 8 processing and transfer costs. Fortunately electronics manufacturers have made great strides toward making the visual attributes of Super 8 Wedding videography accessible to videographers. The technology of high definition sensors, HD image processing and 35mm adapter lenses have improved to the extent that it has become increasingly more difficult to determine whether HD broadcast television and even feature 35mm films were shot on Super 8 filmm, 16mm film or digital HD video. Given the right tools and the knowledge to use them the visual qualities of Super 8 film and video can be very hard to distinguish.
The advancements in modern video cameras include:
Film-like frame rate
The addition of the progressive frame-rate of 24 frames per second, the same as Super 8, rather than TV's interlaced 'video-look' of 60 interlaced fields, allows modern wedding video to have the motion of Super 8 film. The visual result of 24 frames per second on video, like Super 8 film, is smooth and flattering.

Higher resolution
High-definition wedding videographer cameras capture an image that is displayed as 1920x1080 (2,073,600 pixels) compared to standard definition's 864x486 (419,904 pixels). This is nearly five times more visual information in every frame. Learn More »
Increased dynamic range
Dynamic range refers to the Super 8 or HD video camera's ability to render details in shadows while still retaining detail in bright highlights. A wide dynamic range allows realistic levels of contrast rather than featureless whites and not-so-black blacks. Super 8 film has a very wide dynamic range, but modern HD wedding video camera sensors have closed the gap considerably.Learn More »
Widescreen aspect ratio The monitors and TVs being sold today for wedding video clients are widescreen. Their aspect ratio is 16:9, which is the same ratio as HD video cameras and cameras used for feature films. Most standard definition wedding video cameras, as well as some Super 8 and 16mm film formats, have an aspect ratio of 4:3, which is a nearly square shape. Standard definition wedding video and Super 8 and 16mm film will not fill a widescreen television's width. Learn More »
Control over the depth of field A shallow depth of field (DOF) is one of the visual cues we perceive as being an attribute of an image shot with Super 8 and 16mm film cameras. DOF is the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. Many variables determine the DOF, including the aperture, the image plane size the HD wedding video camera-to-subject distance and the focal length of the lens. Wedding video cameras normally suffer from a wide depth of field, meaning that all parts of the frame are in focus. Film cameras, as a function of their larger image plane, have a very shallow depth of focus. This serves to purposefully focus the viewer's attention on one portion of the frame while blurring the other elements. Fortunately, recent advancements have made it possible to achieve a shallow DOF with video cameras. This offers HD wedding cinematographers complete control over their depth of field, adding another film-like look and feel to the final production.
