back in the day when "director" was the thing to use for all things "new media" or "cd rom", i did a piece for my portfolio which was a mixmash of all the stuff id been working on in and out of college.
one of the interactive pieces was a bit of looping super8 film.
rather than getting it digitised, i got the film developed then scanned it in!! (yes, i know! crazy), making sure it was dead straight then stitched a short few second loop in photoshop.
animated it moving vertically in director then looped it so it looked like the film, was staying stationary and you were seeing animations in each frame of the film.
there was a few variations of the anim across the screen that you could drag about and overlay and they also triggered sound samples.but oh yeah you get lovely results with this film and these cameras.
ive got some amazing footage my grandparents got put onto video a few years back and my mum got it put onto dvd last year.
keep on meaning to use some of the footage which is like from the 50s/60s in germany, russia and poland. everything is so crisp and fresh after being rebuilt after the wars.
