Until recently, my Super-8 film processing was using old Soviet-era tanks. As I’m teaching a introductory Super-8 workshop for young people, for free, as a part of Sellier Film Festival, very soon I´ll enter into the processing phase of the art of Super-8 filmmaking.
Following the advice of Marwan Mozayen, editor of SilverGrain Classics magazine, and due to the unfortunate cracking of one of my tanks, I decided to upgrade to the semi-automatic JOBO CPP CLASSIC processing machine.
It was the best advice I could have received!
For our first test, Álex and et moi used expired film and chemicals (a batch of Ektachrome 64 from over 15 years ago), and it was an absolute success. We plan to conduct a few more test runs before working with fresh film and chemicals, but so far, we’re thrilled with the results.
Soon, I’ll be shooting a Super-8 film documentary detailing the entire process—in English—to share this exciting journey with the world, thanks to JoBo equipment.
Stay tuned for the magic of analog filmmaking!
Post Scriptum, After developing the Super-8 reversal film, it´s necessary to leave the film in a drying drum (hand-made and which I plan to motorize), before passing it to the reel ready for projection. Of course, a film leader must be spliced.
NOTICE: I DO NOT PROCESS FOR OTHERS, so please do not send me messages about this.
