6th Annual OTS8 Event - here we come!

We lend out Super 8 cameras!!

Don't hesitate to sign up for the event because you don't have a camera!  That's silly cause we have cameras to lend out!!  We keep a flexible schedule and offer convenient locations for easy pick up / drop off.  We do restrict use for only a few days at time, but you can schedule a camera more than once if needed and when a camera is available.  Keep in mind that as we near when the films are due, the more challenging it will be to borrow a camera when you need it.  We suggest borrowing the camera sooner than later.  And be specific if you need a camera that has a special function such as: slow motion or time-lapse.

Don't hesitate to sign up for the event because you've never used a Super 8 camera before! You'll be surprised how simple it is!  To learn how to use a camera, attend one of our "how to use a Super 8 camera" workshops: Saturday, January 28 and Saturday, February 11, both at 2pm and at Craft Chemistry.  No need to sign in, just show up!
