Thanks! This information has been great!

Wow thanks for this. How is the super 8 negative made? Is a 35 or 16 mm print projected while a Super 8 camera is filming on a screen of sorts?

Thanks!

Hello everybody! I've been collecting silent movies since I was 13 years old starting first with my Super 8 movie projector and my films from Blackhawk films. I could never have imagined so many years in the future I would have some of those same films on Blu-ray watching them on my 60 inch high def...

Mr. Duncan....book just came in....incredible...all I can say. The ultimate book on Chaplin...I could get rid of the others. In this day of age of electronics, this volume is an example of the lost art of book making. Oh, and the film strip....who cares!

Ok great! So I ordered mine in time!

Thanks for posting. I guess the strip is a nice reminder of the time when film was really film! It would be nice to at least get a few frames of Charlie...I wouldn't want to get 12 frames of subtitles. Are all the current released copies still part of the first 10,000 run?

I figured it had to be a later print. They would not have cut a valuable copy of the film. Thanks for posting your reply.

Just curious about something...the film strip...is it a piece of nitrate? I ordered the book and don't really care about the strip, but I was wondering. Just because it was in his archive doesn't mean it is "original." It could have been cut from a print struck in the 70's or later. Does anyone know?
