Super 8

I passed a 2nd hand shop window today and saw an old Super 8 camera for sale, a bargain at £4.50, I could see that there was still a film cartridge inside (the discontinued Kodachrome 40). I was curious as to why the film was still inside and what had been filmed; though the hassle and expense of trying to get the film processed far outweighed my curiosity, and I left the camera in the window.
I remember starting out with Super 8, my friend and I bought a 2nd hand cine camera and film and we made our first movie when we all went camping; the film was titled She Was an Astro Zombie Queen, it was all edited in camera; and didn't look that bad for a first production!
