What's On Jenny's Bench: Digital Super 8 cartridge, part 1 

Absolutely brilliant!! I'm going to follow this until you get it sorted! YOU'RE A GENIUS!! Cant wait to see how this turns out!!!!

I have two super 8 cameras, so this yes super exciting to me, thanks for sharing!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Great project and great organization to support! Thanks, Jenny.

The algorithm works in mysterious ways. Fascinating video. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Jenny- no idea how the algorithms sent this to me, but I’ve just bought two super 8 cameras, so maybe that’s why. I’d love to be able to have the choice of shooting film and digital on them both. Good luck with the project 👏🏻

I just had a sneaky idea how to trigger the record function on the Rapsi: Point a LDR or photodiode at the little screen you're planning to shoot the back of, as there should only be light entering the film gate when the Super-8 camera is actuating its shutter and there should be enough light scattering into the space inside your digital cartridge to pick up.

Brilliant engineering , bringing life in this film cameras are godly act.

This is very clever.

Very cool project. Would pay for one of these! Donated btw… thank you for sharing about the org

Jenny’s list is amazing!!!

Love this project. No doubt I'll spend the evening on eBay looking at super8 cameras. Maybe the carrier could be adjustable with a couple of screws accessible from inside the cartridge. Left/right forward/back to tune the focus?

Old meets new. Ingenious idea 💡

Why don't you take off the UV-lens, from the picture-sensor? That will make the sensor less thick. Then add an 'after-market' UV- lens onto the outer objektive. This should work, you will get this one Millimeter off, you needed for proper projection of the images. The quality of the video you will get, should be like 'with the UV-filter' again. Hope you can finish your project. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native toung, ... ! Greeting from Germany, Markus (db9pz) - my Ham radio call

Only Just came across this, well done. I have quite a few 8s and was wondering how to modelize them so to speak.

Cool project and cool cause.

Lovely collection and super (8?) interesting build!

funny i saw your Single-8 video first and then the part 2 of this series and now this one ... 🙂anyhoots, if the tiny size of the video sensor is too hard to fit within the camera's gate exactly, then why not use a slightly bigger sensor that would fill up not only the entire gate area, but also go further around it to make sure at least part of the sensor fills up the gate fully!? i know already this could not be the perfect solution but it might be a good new starting point? after all, some DSLR cameras already use this little trick for a number of reasons ...

I would use the Film Advance Pin and take a single photograph everytime it attempts to pull the film down ?

What a cool device!

Hi, is there any way you can make one for my camera? I've had one for years and I want to keep using it. It's a Keystone XL300, I'd appreciate your help. Regards

Amazing!

Cool project.

Now it would be nice If Sony could develop a camera sensor module that would fit within the film gate. It would make our lives a bit easier, even if some Chinese company would make a camera sensor to fit it would be great!

if you make the sensor mounted in a way that you can put sheets of paper below it, you can use them to micro adjust the distance. A sheet of paper is 0.1mm thick which is probably the closest you will get in tolerances anyway out of a 3D printer. It might help you dial it in. :)

Is it probably to buy this prebuild as I do not have the. Time to make one

I had the same idea, and i just saw your video ! i'm following you :)

If you ever sell it, I will buy for sure. Bravo!

amazing work, girl!

Haven't you tried smaller sensors that would fit in the film gate?

Do you sell the 3D print design or can you send it if we want to buy it?

Take the UV filter off too and put one on the lens instead.

That is a good cause.

Could I commission you for one of these? Thanks

I know you make millions and millions of dollars doing such a business like this even for many independent film studios using Super 8 film cameras. Think of all the great movies they might make.
