Super-8

Unlike a digital sensor locked in a rigid body, a Super-8 camera moves the film via a claw mechanism that engages with the sprocket holes. That mechanism is rarely perfect. The frame wiggles slightly, left to right, up and down. This "gate weave" gives the footage a breathing, organic quality. The image never sits still.

If you want to shoot Super-8, you don't need $10,000. You need patience. super-8
