8mm

One of several sizes of motion picture film. (The other sizes are 16mm and 35mm.) Film size is determined by measuring the width of the film in millimeters. Eight-millimeter film is used primarily by amateur moviemakers for home movies. Some smaller stations and production studios use super 8mm as a low-cost alternative to 16mm. Although super 8 is exactly the same as that used by amateurs, the equipment used is more sophisticated, thus producing satisfactory results for broadcast. However, because of its size, 8mm film has less production flexibility in terms of splicing and editing.

Biography

Following several years engineering and mixing for Nine Inch Nails, Sean Beavan formed trip-hop act 8mm along with wife Juliette. He had spent time in the studio in New Orleans with NIN's Trent Reznor, working on such NIN recordings as The Downward Spiral. Through Reznor, Sean had also worked on Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals. While in New Orleans, he met his future wife and the two relocated to Los Angeles. While producing a record for Kill Hannah, Sean brought in Juliette to add some vocals and liked her voice enough to form 8mm along with drummer Jon Nicholson. An EP in 2004 was followed by the debut LP Songs to Love and Die by..., released on Curb Appeal Records in September 2006. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
