See if you can track down a copy of Lumiere And Company. It's sort of a similar idea where a bunch of big directors each got to shoot one reel with the old Lumiere cameras.

Anyway, that script for the Super8mm movie is way too long for just one roll. Also that kind of precise editing is hard to do with Super8 cameras, mostly because the motors aren't able to catch up to speed as soon as you hit the trigger. so you get all these flash frames. best thing to do is come up with a story that uses those in the piece.

I was thinking the same thing, I was going to have five difrent people read the script as a story and time them to see how long that is, and find a way to put it to simple storyboards.
As for the cam I think I have a way to see what is shot in a play back, there is a pic of something I designed on the thread, two cams together, we can see a play back of what the other shot, by puting a switch on them both that goes at the same time, and alow for the difrence in the super eights speed.
