Wasting Super 8

Kodachrome 40 in Super 8.

Here's the camera I used (photos shot on Kodak CSG in my Speed Graphic).

did you process that recently? I thought the kodachrome 40 process was dead?

Kodachrome is definitely gone the way of the dodo... unless there still is a place that processes it as movie film... We'd have to ask Terry about that.

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

YouTube claims the video is unavailable.

Edited: Maybe it was just my netbook because I'm on my laptop now and it is showing just fine. That kid's got some moves! :)

Francois,
I thought Kodachrome was dead too!  Maybe Pac Lab in NYC still does it?

The description says it was shot in 2002. So it was probably develop prior to 2010 when Dwayne's closed their kodachrome line.

This was processed before the demise of our beloved Kodachrome (moment of silence)...
Processing was discontinued in Dec 2010.

I recently had my Super 8 reels transferred, though the shop didn't do a very good job.

YouTube claims the video is unavailable.
Hmmm... the video plays for me. Anyone else having trouble?
