Hi, I'm shooting my film on super 8 film, and I was wondering, in case I have to, could I mix 8mm video footage with super 8 film and try to match it together so there is very little difference or close to the film footage? I'd like to do this without cinelook. ------------------

I dont think so. Super 8 film is pretty grainy and video is so flat the difference will be very noticeable. Unless you incorporate the video as part of the story it will look kinda funny. |

They are both the same size so you should be able to splice your video tape right into your film.  Are you transfering your film to video or do you need to get your video on film?
If you are doing your final edit on video, then you may be able to add film grain to the video originated shots. There is still a big difference in frame rates. Are you shooting your film at 18fps or 24 fps? Some video cameras have slower frame rates that could help it look like it originated on Super8. |

or else u could put your VIDEO onto the computer and then just put into back to video at the same frame rate as the film. Then mix it and there wont be as big of a difference. |

if you slice video right onto film won't you have trouble getting it through the projector?  |

I don't think that magnetic tape would splice with film. |

I think the best way to get eh closest look would be to transfer the video to film. The only money you would save would be on all the takes you cut before the transfer. That should add some f the grain you need.If the reason for shooting on video is to do the final edit on video, then try finding a tiffen "low contrast" filter. It mutes Hi8's and digital video's vibrant colors to more closely mimic film. I've also seen DP use a fine mist from a fog machine to create some depth and grain-like appearance to enhance the film look of video. Finally, you get tremendous video grain in the form of noise by using less light and more gain boost. Hope some of this helps. Good Luck
