Super 8mm Derann
SUPER 8 FILM REVIEW by BFCC - British Film Collectors Convention
A professional film director; “it is amazing that this sort of quality is obtainable from Super 8.”

Quote:
The super 8 prints were printed “open mask”; ie. same as the 35mm negative to 35mm print and were projected in theatres with a 1.85 to 1 mask in the projector gate.
Picture quality is just superb with pin sharp focus throughout and excellent colours although with a very slight blue tint, but that is to be expected with most Derann features nowadays.
…and have to admit I agree it is up there with the sharpest of super 8 print releases I have seen, accompanied with a dynamic stereo recording to enhance the viewing experience. …and left me with the same impression and impact as it did in the actual cinema back in 1987!
I don’t recall anything creeping into the top and bottom of frame on “Predator” that you really shouldn’t see (like microphones, etc.), although I do remember that on the heat camera effect “Predator Vision” shots, you ocasionally see words like so-and-so VIDEO, etc. in the extreme bottom of frame!!!
