![]() The loops can run fine for a long time, but the perf holes become heavily worn out until it is even visible in the projection (the enlarged perf holes protruding in from the side!). When using these projectors with short loops (15 – 30s) without any looper system and using reversal originals (acetate film) it resulted in damage to the perforation. I have been using Eumig 614D projectors and equivalent models for loops. Using the small Eumig Super8 projectors for looping: The splice ca be made wet or dry, but make sure it is well done! When a bad splice runs through the projector repeatedly the perforation at the splice will get more and more damaged and the might tear or the image might start to „shake“ every time the splice runs through. The film to be looped should have as few splices as possible as they are literally the weak link in the system. Ideally there should be just a single splice: the one which joins the beginning and the end of the film. These services are provided by Andec filmlab in Berlin (Splices: To receive a Super8 print in polyester you need to film on negative film and strike a print or when filming with reversal you need to make a blowup to 16mm and then a reduction print onto Super8. ![]() Modern prints made from negatives are made of polyester film stock. Usually camera originals (negative or reversal) are made of acetate film stock. Most reversal Super8 film is made of acetate film stock: Acetate is not as durable as polyester film stock which is used for making 16mm prints for instance. Making copies of your work first is recommandable in any case. No matter what looper or projector you use, loop projection will result in abrasion and damage of the print when used over many hours. General remark on using Super8 film for loops : Using the magnetic sound track to play loops with sound Using the small Eumig Super8 projectors for loopingĪ possible workaround for weak projectors General remark on using Super8 film for loops ![]() ![]() Here you can find various technical recommendations concerning the use of Super8 loops. ![]()
