Years ago, long before the digital age of filmmaking, the only way an independent filmmaker could produce his project was on 35mm, 16mm or Super 8mm film. 35mm was usually out of the question, if you were working on the shoestring budget most of us had. 16mm was a little cheaper, but still required quite the financial commitment if you were planning on making a feature length movie. Super 8, however, was relatively cheap.
Every two and a half minutes of shot footage would cost approximately $10.
Super 8 Filmmaker magazine was a must have if you were an indie filmmaker in the 80’s.
Both for $20
