Super 8 films are unique, immediately nostalgic, and a medium that is ripe for families and wedding days, anything that promotes human connection.
The little imperfections especially bring forth the idea that this is a medium that seeks connection over perfection.
To me, the cinematic dramatic weddings videos make the bride & groom feel like actors in a movie script - getting mic’d up and interrupted to untangle the mic and long sweeping panos of details, florals, and the landscape.
Conversely, Super 8 films are like a home video being filmed by someone who loves you most, like your dad. They’re intimate, unassuming, and guests seem to flock to these cameras.
