This was really, really neat to see. I see these Revere movie cameras all over the place and I’ve always thought their only remaining purpose in life was as decoration. It’s nice to see that these small, well built cameras can still be used for their original purpose. As always, kudos to FPP for supporting this!

I just bought one of these for my son, who has Asperger's Syndrome and is a massive history buff. This was the camera that made the only known amateur color movie of the immediate aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, so he's going to be over the moon, especially knowing that film still exists for it.

This is the best explanation of how to load these cameras I've ever seen online. I've purchased a few of these via ebay over the years and a couple had film gate issues and one had a defective spring drive as I recall. My suggestion to all who think they'd like to try this camera, make sure the film gate and winding spring work properly. I have purchased many vintage cameras over the years and usually AS IS deals turn out bad. Pay more and get a tested and free return camera.

Glad to hear the Kodachrome film is developed in B&W only, since I'm certain I'll run across it some day. Thanks for all the helpful hints & tips. Stay safe.

I was hoping to find a review of a Revere Super 8 camera with reciprocating shutter. Shutter design kept the camera narrow. Plastic body, only $20 in the ‘70’s. Sold as a 3M Revere. If you can find one, doing a tear down would make an extremely interesting video.

Wonderful. Two Dodge Challengers were shown. That dates the film. The flanges are important. People smash the spools onto the shafts and tear the hole out. three flanges are on top and four flanges are on the bottom so the film isn't double exposed.

Thanks so much for this video and your knowledge! I normally shoot still film using 120 or 4x5 cameras. Got the Revere Eight as a gift from a family member and thought I'd take it out for a spin. Your video saved me from a lot of headaches and questions. Made it understandable and made me feel pretty confident that if the shutter is working properly in this old camera I'll have some usable results. Just flipped the roll over and off I go to shoot the other side. One quick question: I take it that as long as I do the loading and flipping in subdued light, there is enough of a leader to keep my film from being fogged? Seems weird to be able to handle the roll and be able to see what I am doing with unprocessed film.

I don’t have the slightest clue how to process it but was actually wanting to attempt to learn and then watch it on an projector. Do you have any tips for me on how I might be able to check if there is anything on the film? I’m wondering how difficult it would be for me to learn how to process it myself? Any help you can offer I would be extremely grateful for…

I just don't get it. I've gone through 5 different double 8 cameras including 3 different model bell and howells, and two Reveres. Every single one fails to cycle film. Each one runs perfectly with no film, they all slow down instantly and then fail to move when film is loaded. I'm absolutely loading correctly, and it's wound correctly, etc. Tried two different rolls of film just to be sure it wasn't the film.
