DO A SHOT WITH PRO8MM AT CINEGEAR EXPO
The Shots are on Pro8mm at Cinegear Expo for the first 40 filmmakers who sign up at the show. Super 8 is the OG of guerilla filmmaking. Find out how you can make this beautiful, classic film gauge work in an HD world.
Pro8mm is hosting free hands on Super 8 film shooting sessions at Cinegear. The one hour time slots begin at 4:15 on Friday and 10:15 on Saturday. Included is some basic hands on training, one roll of Super 8 film, processing, scanning to HD, delivered on a data DVD in Pro Res 422, and a free t shirt to all participants!
Filmmakers will start at the Pro8mm booth in groups of 5 with Super 8 film expert Phil Vigeant, (Pro8mm President and Author of The Power of Super 8 Film) and will begin with some basic hands on training. People can bring their own Super 8 camera, or use one of ours. They will then have 45 minutes to go around the expo on their own and shoot their super 8 roll.
At the end of the session, return the exposed film, and the camera if you checked one out to their booth. Pro8mm will process the film the following week at their Burbank lab, and scan the footage to native 1080 HD on their Millennium 2 scanner. Filmmakers can pick up their disk at Pro8mm. The best footage will be edited and appear as a demo on the Pro8mm YouTube Channel.
To sign up, go to their booth, #86 (near the food court) or look for Pro8mm staff roaming around in bright yellow shirts, that say DO A SHOT WITH PRO8MM. All participants must have a valid ID and a credit card for a damage deposit to check out a camera. Participants will be required to sign a release allowing Pro8mm to use the footage.
From cameras to film stock and encoding, all-inclusive workflows that save time and money, shooting tips and more, Pro8mm's Phil Vigeant shares his secrets and tips that Hollywood insiders have used for years in his new book , The Power of Super 8 Film – Insider Secrets Every Filmmaker Should Know. Autographed copies are available for purchase at the Pro8mm booth. Check out all the updated gear, including the Max 8 1014 with Crystal Sync, and the launch of their new series of Super 8 Filmmaker Boot Camps and Seminars.

A Great Night At Our Free Seminar - The Power of Super 8 Film
It was a great event in Burbank last night for our first free seminar on The Power of Super 8 Film. We packed the small Missing Piece Theater, two doors down from Pro8mm as Phil gave a power point presentation on the evolution of Super 8 film, from his earliest days at Super 8 Sound in Cambridge, until today, explaining why he is about to upgrade his M2 HD 4K scanner to Pro Res 444. There was a great showing of classic super 8 music videos from the early days, including Madonna's "Erotica" to Boys Like Girls "Two is Better Than One", shot with Super 8 and the red. Filmmakers Geroge Manzanilla and Craig Kief joined the stage with Phil, talking to filmmakers about their commercial work for the fashion and music industry. Great questions, great audience, great food, great fun. Pro8mm announced their 2 Day Boot Camp September 11 & 12 2010, and those in attendance were allowed to pregerister at a huge discount and bring a friend for free. Watch for details on more free Super 8 seminars and events. Call 818-848-5522 or log onto our website!
