Congratulations on getting ther stock up and available - that's great -- any example still frames or clips online we can look at?
Also for it's worth - I love the fact that the French aren't that keen to speak English! There's nothing worse than going to a foreign country and finding it not that much different to your own! Vive le difference!

What is that cliché ? I guess I am not 100 % french if I speak a good english ?
But that's not the point. I wanted to know, how do you manufacture a film ? Isn't it suppose to take time in R&D ?

Well, you need raw film material. Get it perforated if it isn't allready.
Check the list for an impression what is ready to use http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katal ... _meter.php. Or even Pro8, Kahl, Cinevia on core.
Otherwise you need to buy a batch of 35 or 16mm film and cut this up into 8mm and perforate this with Super-8 perforations. Sounds easy but it isn't. Unless you find an old factory perforator.
Then the film must be put in a cartridge. These can reportedly be bought from Kodak with a minimum order of 10000. Of course film must spooled in free of dust. And the cartridges should not jam or jitter because of inappropiate handling or procedures.
Also somebody needs to do the chores.
Which seems to be Super8france
Still an achievement as I think the project started only after Cinevia failed to deliver and Super8france took matters in his own hand. Which is only 3 months ago or something like that.

Well, it comes from some factory.EtiN wrote:A lot of work I guess.
But I do not understand how you manufacture the raw material. Freddy said he didn't used Kodak or Fuji films.
I don't anticipate he is starting from clear bearer acetate and pours his own emulsion onto that. That would be something.Kind regards,
André

In this age of digitalism? Revive and old production line or product of a defuntc manufacterer. Highly unlikely.
In the end it will prove to be a relabeled Wittner product or self spooled Kodak. Now, which Kodak product is ISO 40...
It is all speculation.
France can enjoy an active Super8 friendly shop.
It is worth an applause to undertake such a venture.

It's Kodachrome 40:
It's 40 ISO.
It's taking three weeks coz it's going to Dwayne's (note the reference to white reels and boxes).
It may not be seen as Kodak because it may be Wittner's repackaging.
It has a long shelf life.
It cant be anything else!
Translation of the frequently asked questions on the site:
"The conservation length of the film is she important?
One considers that this Super 8 film once developed one has a length of + of 50 years without that the colors are modified. If it is not developed, it is necessary to respect the date back to péremption being located on the magazine. "
"In how much time would I receive my developed film?
We have tested to several returns the delay, it is necessary only 3 weeks."
"Why this delay?
The first week serves to the expedition to the laboratory. The second serves to the development, to the preparation of the package. The third one is necessary for the expedition until your residence. "
"How arrives my developed film?
Your film will arrive in your wood to the letters. It is presented on a white spool that is protected in a white box on which is indicated your number of series."

But Freddy says:
Est-ce une nouvelle fabrication ?
Il ne s'agit pas d'un stock Kodak, d'ailleurs àla fin du chargeur, il ne sera pas indiqué EXPOSED comme avec l'Ektachrome 64T ou la Kodachrome 40 mais le film sera coupé en biais. C'est donc une nouvelle fabrication.
That means: It is not a Kodak stock. I think he should say what it is otherwise everybody will think he is a little lyer...
