Kodak Introduces New Super 8 Motion Picture Film

April 12, 2010 16:45

Kodak has introduced a new colour reversal film available in the Super 8mm format. KODAK Ektachrome 100D Color Reversal Film 7285 is a daylight-balanced, 100-speed film incorporating bright saturated colours and fine grain with excellent sharpness.

"Super 8mm film is a versatile, affordable option for filmmakers who require the image quality and flexibility of film," says Chris Johnson, product manager for Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division. "Quantum leaps in film emulsion technology have made Super 8 - once considered a hobbyist's format - a viable option for professional filmmakers and students."

Many of today's great cinematographers and directors began their careers at the counter of their local photo shop, buying a cartridge of Super 8 film, according to Johnson. But KODAK Ektachrome 100D Color Reversal Film offers filmmakers image quality far beyond that of the familiar home movie format of the 1960s, he says.

"Kodak's commitment to R&D continues to raise the bar for image quality," says Johnson. "One benefit is that Super 8 is now a terrific option for students who want to hone their skills, as well as for professional filmmakers who want to craft a distinctive look for their project."
