Our Super 8 wedding films are gorgeous, nostalgic wedding videos for folks looking for something more gritty and natural. In fact, it’s exactly what we’d book for ourselves, and the look that this incredible 1970’s format gives, is like nothing else on the planet. No sound, no drawn-out storytelling: just the best bits, the weird and the wacky, stored perfectly on real celluloid in the only way that the super-8 film format can.
In 2018 a special, strange looking thing landed in our lap: a super-8 camera. You can find them everywhere, and they look wonderful. Once we got the first tape back, we were hooked, and immediately began offering it for wedding couples: in the process, creating the first super-8 only video offering in the world, Supergreat Films. Now, we simply offer them here.

A super 8 film is a 3-5 minute highlight of your wedding, captured on the Super 8 cameras and Super 8 Kodak film, which is still being produced. You might know the look without realising it: it was the format used to document much of the worlds family history throughout the 60’s and 70’s.
Super 8 film does not record sound. In the past it did, but that format has since been phased out. If you would like sound recorded, check out these wedding videographer Melbourne folks who create the full experience, sound included.
I craft these in a unique way, and shoot enough tapes to have plenty to work with. To cover processing and material fees, my super 8 wedding videos start at $2k.
After I film your wedding or session, the tapes are sent deep into northern Victoria, where my lab-wizard processes them chemically, before sending me the files. This part alone can take up to 3 weeks. From there, I do my edit. You should expect to receive your finished super 8 wedding film inside 6 weeks.
