Kodak Super 8
product
Our biggest challenge in reviving the Super 8 camera was to enable a seamless filmmaking experience despite the mere size and weight of the internal film cartridges and components. More so, we needed to find a balance between the qualities that filmmakers love from the original camera with the experience of digital technologies and features. We decided to build the camera in an octagonal shape to create a slimming structure around the internals while using durable materials such as bent sheet metal. The texture itself is inspired by Kodak’s signature K-Bug logo, and the film cartridge door has a built-in window on the side. New accessories such as the top handle and removable microphone, the pistol grip and LCD screen, have been designed to integrate ergonomic and practical features to the art of filmmaking.
