What Is Super 8 DIY?

Super 8 DIY is a ship-to-you camera rental service that lets you (or your guests) film your celebration on real Super 8 film. No experience needed. The camera comes pre-loaded, fully automated, and ready to go — we take care of processing and digitizing the footage so you receive a nostalgic, perfectly imperfect film keepsake.
