A few years ago I entered a film competition for horror films and we shot on
B&W Super 8. After shooting a take or two, I would do a take without rolling
the camera and record the audio only. Through some manipulation in post we were
able to get a decent sync, it sounds and looks a lot like a staged 1960s film,
particularly old Italian films which had all the sound done in post (which
fitted the 'giallo' genre we had to shoot our film as). To me this was the most
cost effective way in both terms of time and film stock but is certainly not
what most people want in their films.
Whatever you decide, be sure to do a test or two.

Subject: [Frameworks] [Experimental Film Discussion List] Super8 B&W help
My brother and I want to direct and do some short films with Kodak's B&W. We
will transfer it to DVD and then to our laptops after we film on the Super8
cameras. Is there a way to get sound onto it? We cannot film sound, or is
that way still optional? I was told there is no longer Super8 sound anymore.
I can put music on any file, but I am wondering how to make the actors have a
voice with Super8 filming.
Any ideas?
-Jason
