Awesome topic but I'm not 100% sure, are you saying they used the little super 8 cameras to film these? I don't know but I used to love messing around with our super 8, it had one frame exposure and I tried making animated and "effects-driven" movies back in the 7o's. Back then you had to go to the library for any help and I found a book on how to make a stand to take individual frames, it was tough but those were fun times.
Maybe something like this: Footage shot with this camera: Here is some info from 1990: One of the films from the list above, not a music video:
Wow another rabbit hole, I don't think I'd ever believe they did videos in Super 8 after video got big, back then doing it in whatever was "latest and greatest" was more important. When "video" came out we were floored as kids with the possibilities, everyone was going to be a movie maker. Plus film was still kind of expensive and limited to one shot, video was re-usable, unfortunately my buddies erased some early cool stuff.
www.RetroThing.com used to talk about some of the cool old equipment, they haven't updated this site in years but you can spend days looking at all of the cool stuff on it. https://www.retrothing.com/cameras_optics/
Is the Kodak's Brand New Super 8 Movie Camera their last post? How fitting. The camera was announced in 2016 and has never happened. They figured they could not make it cheap enough for what it is, and very few were willing to pay what Kodak planned to charge for it. Thanks for the link! More offtopic: if you are interested in instant photo, this guy's channel has very polished and interesting videos: In An Instant.
Do you remember when instant cine film was going to be the next big thing ? https://www.redsharknews.com/techno...polaroid-once-made-an-instant-film-camera-too
I did a thread on the Retro Guys a long time ago, they went into reality TV but the show was horrible, instead of taking maybe a gritty YouTube approach, they did the hair-pulling cliff-hanger at every commercial break. They had some neat stuff including a big Lasonic and a Sinclair Car, but it seemed too scripted. Unfortuntely the blog hasn't been updated for a few years, they had some really good content.
Jody Watley - When A Man Loves A Woman (1993) I could not find definitive info that this has been shot on Super 8, could as well be 16 mm. But noticeable grain and high contrast make me think that at least some scenes have been shot on Super 8. One of the cases when a label uploads video at the correct frame rate.
