My favorite brands of Movie Viewers for viewing my film on are Elmo, and Goko. My favorite splicer is the Wurker splicer. I think one can use non Wurker splice tabs with the Wurker splicer. I think the Wurker splice tabs are no longer made so off brand splice tabs are essential to using the Wurker splicer.

There are other splicers however.

Neumade makes a Super-8 splicer, it is made out of steel and costs something like $350.00 dollars, the cool thing is this is actually FRESH inventory. Um, although on their website I just discovered they are having a "close out" special on their super-8 splicer.

Bolex also makes a popular super-8 splicer.

I'm a fan of tape splices versus cement splices, but there are very loyal cement splice people out there as well.

Most importantly, I no longer edit my films by cutting the film up. I compile my film onto larger movie reels and then I have it transferred to video. I then edit on high end video machines rather than in a computer, but that's because I already happen to own the equipment for my video editing business.

Most people who edit their super-8 footage after it has been transfered to video edit it digitally in a computer.

Editing the film itself is definitely a unique experience and an interesting one. However I discovered that my footage, besides being used in a film project, sometimes has value as stock footage, but not if it has cut up into little pieces...

Some people make a high quality video transfer first while the film is in it's most pristine condition (before viewing it on a projector or just once on a movie viewer, (either of which can add unwanted dust particles or scratches) and then afterwards they cut up the film. I guess that would be called having your [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img] and [img]graemlins/dish.gif[/img] it too.
