• Color negative film
• Process: ECN-2
• 2×8 mm standard / 25 foot roll film
• Normally 8mm is shot at 16fps (frames per second)
• Frame size 4.8mm x 3.5mm

How does this film work? 
Regular 8 film is actually 16mm in width when you receive it (on a 25 ft daylight camera spool). On the first pass though the camera, the film is exposed only along half of its width. When the first pass is complete, you open the camera and flip / swap the spools. The same film is exposed along its other edge. After the film is developed, both sides of the film is scanned to create an approx 4 minute file (per roll).

How do I load my camera?
Each camera is slightly different but check out this video where Michael Raso loads a Revere 8 Model 88.

Terms – With the rare exception of a film product recall, user issues with film are a by-product of the deterioration of parts in the vintage cameras used to shoot the film. Even functioning and previously tested vintage cameras may experience motor film transport issues, film breakage, light leaks, over-and-under-exposure, and emulsion scratches. We feel it is important to bring your attention to these risks as we do not accept returns, offer replacement film or refunds on movie film.
