Super 8 the SUV of films?

Check in a few minutes on my youtube account...two more clips up...notice the scratches...film jammed due to operator error...failed to ensure take up reel was properly loaded and tight...

beautiful! That looks as good as 16 to me. The colors are awesome! I would love to see more examples if you have them. Especially something shot at 24 fps or scenes where the camera is not moving. Great stuff!

Hey, that's all for now...as for the camera not moving, heck, that would be serious filmmaking! haha

You could probably earn an MA in film studies for those artful scratches.

My opinion? You're getting a heck of a lot of mileage from Regular 8mm. The 100D color palette looks really modern, at least the way you've tweaked that clip.

By the way, I thought you drove a vintage Mustang (can one call the 1980s 'vintage?'), not a tiny little Daimler Chrysler road bubble that runs on organic bean farts and recycled Birkenstocks ... ;)

Wow, someone not swearing at me, can't believe it.

OK, well, sheer fluke...and youtube really cripples video in my opinion. So, yeah, every format has its pros and cons...color palette being a main one of course.

As for the colors in the clips, those are due to being shot in Canada more than anything else. But you knew that!

Oh, I have driven and owned many cars...the latest being this Fuel Cell...I really like the A-series Mercedes. While it is a bit squirelly on the freeway at over 75mph, it does wonders when not in freeway mode. Just love it. If I buy a new car in the future, probably be a Suby...but my current suby refuses to die - its a blast actually. 5 speed 2.5L wagon. Much fun.

Cheers,
Mike

Goddamn it, Mike. Control yourself.

You should try blip.tv - they don't compress the daylights out of everything like YouTube. I'd love to see what those clips look like without globby compression artifacts.

One of my friends owns one. He's German and drives like he's on the autobahn (or perhaps the center of Rome), even in city traffic. He chose the Suby because it was one of the few affordable machines that could keep up with him.

As for the A-Class, I'm a huge fan. I'm not a huge fan of hydrogen vehicles, though. It seems like manufacturers are latching onto the dream of a "new and plentiful" fuel instead of helping us to change our gluttonous ways. The last time I checked, roads were still made out of oil-based tar, tires were made from oil-based rubber, car interiors were mostly plastic and hydrogen and oxygen still require a healthy jolt of energy to give up their love-fest and go their separate ways.

what a waste of water

washing cars in Brisbane is capital B banned as we have not much of it left, damn it. So we all drive up to Noosa and use their's instead.

This country is drying up! Though we couldn't possibly blame that on the environment now could we girls :?

Sorry Mike I take it back... he is not a d,*#h#@D everyone. Just a poor misguided soul who hasn't seen the error of his observations.

there's no end to the drought in sight.

I assume you got a WRX? Must be pretty new if it has the 2.5. Either that or you got a regular Impreza, but I so doubt that since you were all over comparing the MazdaSpeed 3 and the WRX back in Jan when I bought my 2.0L 5 speed wagon. I still want to give it a hug every time I walk outside, and only occasionally do I wish I had managed to find a 05 or 06 with the 2.5 instead of my 05 with the 2.0. I guess anyway my gas mileage is probably one tick better than yours. BTW... you ever happen to notice the difference in emissions rating between the Impreza and the WRX? The Impreza is really pretty good, the WRX a horror. I guess it's the turbo, but I'm not really sure why...

What were we talking about again?
