Surf's up!

Post by Clapton Pond »

Anyone out there into surfing films (i.e. films about surfing, not surfing the net to find films...)?

This is rather lovely.

What film stock and camera did you use? You should do a 1080p transfer.

I love surf films myself. Especially films shot on 16mm (do I need to mention Moonlight Conspiracy?).

I've filmed some surf myself, but mostly wasted stuff with my malfunctioning Eumig Nautica ...

I love the surf on these clips. Great waves, but I don't like the blue tint of the images and the hair/dust in the frame edge. I miss some great looking colours. :wink:

Rad. Rincon is epic. The video definitly came alive with the water shots, and the land shots remind me of Thomas Cambel. The off the wall telecine makes it look like a working copy though. Thanks for sharing this. For me, surfing Films are my favorite use of Super 8 ( Surf reels 1-14- a classic), along with skate ( Tent City).

Cheers
