What’s the difference between 8mm and Super 8?
In the 1960’s, Kodak was looking for a way to improve the quality of 8mm “home movies” without requiring wider film like 16mm. In 1965 Kodak product engineers designed a film frame that was about 50% larger on the same width film by simply making the sprocket holes smaller than Standard 8mm. The new film, “Super 8” could be shot with the same economy as Regular 8mm, and projectors that could show both sizes of film could be easily manufactured for customers with a library of older films. Super 8 with Sound became available in August of 1973. OUR COPYRIGHT POLICY DDVF cannot duplicate materials protected under United States Copyright Law.
