I was very excited that you enjoyed my first little try on 8mm Film, so here's the test shot for black and white! The Music is by Julian Winter, who kindly let me use his wonderful tunes, you should really check out his site here to hear more of his work.
Wir nähern uns Louis Malle. Ich mag den Soundeffekt am Schluss, wo die Musik ins Ausrollen des Films übergeht und dann: Klock und Schluss. Fahrstuhl zum Schafott.
Danke! Es ist ein großes Kompliment meinen Film überhaupt im Zusammenhang mit Louis Malle zu erwähnen! Und es freut mich, dass Dir dieses Detail am Schluss aufgefallen ist...viele schauen den Film gar nicht bis zum Schluss an glaub ich.
Thank you, Hannah! Well, the 8mm films are only a few mintes long anyway so it doesn't take too long...the colour film took me about 15 minutes to shoot, the black and white a half hour I would guess. Processing is a bit difficult I have to say, there are only very few places that develop super 8 films (many who transfer already developed film rolls to dvds, but very few that develop them!) You can actually send them to Kodak but that's quite expensive with post and packaging! I luckely did find one lab near to friends of mine, and they helped me get them developed eventually! So you first have to get them developed and then tranfer them to DVD. WHEW long answer!!
this is absilutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteit's a shame we don't see film movies anymore...
Oh thank you, Joana! And you're right, it's sad how film slowly disappears!
DeleteSimple yet really beautiful! the film effect is amazing too!
ReplyDeletethanks, but it's no effect, it's real 8mm Film!

DeleteGern geschehen, 1:59 Minuten sind im Rahmen :) Aber das Timing sitzt tatsächlich; lass das mal nicht aus den Augen, ich glaub, das kannst du.
DeleteLouis Malle... oder die frühen Orson Welles? Mal wieder im http://www.ubu.com stöbern.
Incredibly atmospheric. Amazing how it generates emotion, unlike modern video which is so sterile in comparison.
ReplyDeleteWhole new level of admiration for your blog. How long do these take you (filming, I mean), and how do you process the film?
