Rest in peace S8 Booster!

[Andreas Wideroe]

Vidar Backmann, aka S8 Booster was one of the original and most active members of this forum. He had a true passion for Super8 filmmaking, Hifi and Apple/Macs and was a professional running his own company working with electric stuff like battery backup systems etc. He was also very interested in boats and sailing.

I haven't been in touch with him since 2020, but over the years we had many talks, many imessages and phone calls. Therefore it was very sad when I yesterday came across S8 Booster's memorial page. I did not know that he had passed in February 2023. So sorry to hear that. I met Vidar several times over the years. Always positive, enthusiastic, lots to talk about. He was such a great guy and will be dearly missed.

Rest in peace Vidar. Thanks for your contributions to super8 filmmaking and the community. Your Super 8 legacy will live on in this forum. You will be remembered and missed
