how do you use a brownie movie camera?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Brownie Cameras : One Thread

Hi, i bumped into this forum by accident, and that was a lucky accident!! i'm a photographer....at least amateur....and have been interested in experimenting with 16mm or 8mm movie cameras, but i have no idea about their working... do you need lightmeters...or do you just put the film in and shoot? how much is a brownie movie camera worth, and where do you find them? i know my father has a LOT of OLD super 8mm films of our family...did he shoot with this type of equipment? (i can't ask him unfortunately)

anyway, thanks for the information, and your time...i know i'll greatly apreciate it.
