DIY SUPER 8
super 8 film videos through your friend’s + family’s perspective!
BY JACOB LINNEHAN FILMS
Soooo what does it cost??
1 camera + 2 rolls of film
approx. 7 minutes of unedited video or 3-4 minutes edited.
Optional upgrades are autofocus camera & additional rolls of film. See both below.
DISCLAIMER*
These are vintage cameras. All have been tested prior to being sent, but they are still susceptible to failing at any moment. Each rental includes a backup camera to ensure that your event gets captured. In the scenario that both cameras fail, a full refund will be provided.
Please keep this all in mind when booking. Thank you!
Add more film! Each roll added with increase the raw footage by about 3 minutes and the edited video 1-1.5 minutes. Additional film will be 250D which works for daylight or artificial light.
I find that 2-3 rolls is sufficient for most wedding day, but add as many as you think you will need!
Swap the standard camera for one with autofocus! One less thing to worry about!
I have been intentional about making this process as easy as possible. These old super 8 cameras truly are so intuitive to use! I have created tutorial videos that break down the whole process.
And for the rental process: I will ship you the camera + film prior to your date, you shoot your wedding/event, ship everything back to me, & then I develop, scan, & edit your film!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Super 8 has a warm, nostalgic magic that makes real moments feel timeless and full of life.

E & D
taking the hard part out of super 8!
I truly believe that shooting super 8 film is the easiest part of the whole process. Through this service, I am eliminating all of the research beforehand (what camera do I buy? where do I get film?) and after the shoot (ok now where do I get it developed? and how do I edit this?)
By removing these barriers of entry, I hope to make this medium more accessible to all!
