Please respond,

so any super 8 film will work? that's what i was confused about?

Yes any super 8 film will work. You can use any super 8 projector, but I'd reccomend shooting color reversal that way you can see a positive image. You cannot see a positive image with negative film, hence negative.

Welcome to the film world, not too many of us around here... I am starting out also so it's nice to hear from others.
 
so wait. i'm thinking of just projecting onto my projector screen, and then recording with my dvc30. if i have negative film, film something, record with my dvc, capture it, what will it look like? inverted?

also, do i have to go through a whole roll before i can watch it on a projector, or can i record a bit, watch it, the record more, etc.

thanks alot

Pretty much. You need to shoot revesal and develope it as you would with any reversal. Just remember you have to develop it first.

Well, theres really no way of doing that since you have to process your film before you can get a negative/positive image from the latent image. You have to shoot, process then project.

Can you clear me up on the processing...uh...process?

Specifically, what is the difference between processing and making a light print? Does just processing make a roll that can be telecined?

Processing the film is what you need to do in order to get a negative(negative film) or positive(reversal film) from the latent image on the film when shot. Just like when you shoot 35mm still pictures with the family or whatever, when you get it processed, it's the same uh...process. A (work)print, whether one light or best light is generally for offline editing.
Just remember that you need to have your film processed in order to see any kind of image. The you could either make a work print or telecine thereafter.
