My first super 8 movie is done!

Oh my goodness! I haven't even heard of Super 8 in ages. Like vinyl, it's one of those mediums that creates a certain ambiance that does actually alter the viewing experience. Or, rather, changing mediums alters the intended experience. Watching the VCR tapes of old family Super 8 movies -- there's no "clickclickclick" of the projector, no need for it to be in the dark, no illuminated dust swirls in the projected beam. And the ease of using later media means there's no longer the ritual of gathering family and everyone getting comfy before watching.
Yay for Super 8!
