"With the renaissance of Super 8 and its establishment as a desirable imaging medium, the time is right for a contemporary guide to this unique format. The Power of Super 8 Film couples Phil's encyclopedic knowledge with recent technical innovations to provide an essential guide for newcomers and seasoned users alike. " 

 -Giles Perkins, Editor, onsuper8.org, Super 8 Filmmaker

"Super 8 continues to have a great following of creative people and a steady flow of new "converts". Phil's commitment to support this at the highest quality, with investment and enthusiasm, is impressive.  He just transferred some of my old Super 8 films to Blu-Ray. They look superb."  

 -Peter Boyce, Regional Business General Manager, Eastman Kodak Company

"A common anecdote among Cinematographers is how the Super 8 films they shot during their youth put them on their career paths. Today they are using Super 8 film to shoot flashbacks because small format film is an organic medium, which evokes emotional responses.  Film is also the only proven archival medium. Phil Vigeant's Book The Power of Super 8 Film belongs in every film school library."

-Bob Fisher, Cine Journalist, President, CCS Public Relations

"Shooting with super 8 gives you the feeling you can fly. You are so unshackled, and free. Phil and the entire crew at Pro8mm makes you feel as though you have a partner in film. They want you to succeed as badly as you do. They've got the tools and know-how to make your dreams fill the screen."

-Kurt Markus, Award Winning   photographer, Independent Filmmaker for Jewel and

John Mellencamp

"With the push to make television and video look more and more true to life, people forget that film allows us to see the world literally in a different light. Shooting with The Pro8mm Max 8 camera provided stunning imagery, and the 16x9 framing gave us the flexibility to seamlessly incorporate the footage into our project. The full HD scans showed that the 8mm frame can hold so much beautiful visual information.  The super 8 format enhanced the overall mood of our project.  Indie filmmakers should all take the plunge and shoot on super 8 film."
-Bryan Roberts and Nolan Ball, Indie Filmmakers

" Phil and the team at Pro8mm has kept the super 8  medium alive through timely innovations, including state of the art HD digital scanning, 16 x 9 film gate modifications, crystal sync and negative film.   He has the gift of adapting the Pro8mm format to meet the most demanding uses in today's competitive world of cinema and television production. Pro8mm has been my medium of choice for acquiring motion picture imagery in the production of music videos, TV shows,

documentaries, commercials, and most recently as an effective low cost teaching tool for college filmmakers. He is, in my opinion, the King of Super 8."
