i like it. cool images and well paced cutting. if you want me to say something negative (it's always easier to respond to that) it's that it looks exactly like you'd expect a video for this song to look. not very original for those of us who've watched a lot of mtv alternative nation the past few decades. :-)

can you give us any technical details?

Thanks for the compliments...

Well, it wasn't Super 8. It's all Fisher Price Pixel Vision dubbed to vhs and edited on a Decklink HD system in Final Cut Pro for no apparent reason. But yes I agree it looks the way it sounds and is somewhat clichÃƒÂ©. But sometimes I think the most obvious is a good thing;)

very cool. that would actually have been my guess, even though i tried to figure out what you had done to the tri-x to get that dreamy look. :-)

for sure.

When I was out in L.A. doing the install for the Academy's WorkPrinter units, they had stacks of tapes made from Pixel Vision cameras that interns and others were logging. At first I thought they were some sort of funky home movies but it turns out they have a regular competition called "Pixel This" (or something like that) where people create movies with nothing but Pixel Vision cameras. I'm almost thinking that it is every month or every other month. Anyway, I'll see what I can find out. I don't think the competition is limited to U.S. entries only but I could be wrong. Is there a PAL version of Pixel Vision? Does it have better resolution? (that's a joke, guys).

Is there a PAL version of Pixel vision camera? I have been looking one from eBay.de but so far I haven't seen one... only in eBay.com

Interesting video. Reminds me, I need to contact Kodak to see where the last 3 reels for my video are so I can then send them off to Roder for transfer.

Yeah I guess 15 fps and 100 lines of resolution will give you that dreamy look

Hey Roger! You should be getting some ektachrome by UPS, from me, for transfer. Let me know if theres any problems or questions.

Thanks!

All Pixelvision!

I'm really suprised, I thought the wide angle shots looked like really, really, really bad video (so bad I wondered if you had put it through some strange degrade filter! No video looks THAT Bad! ;) ) but the close ups I thought could have been tri-x or something.

This looks a lot less pixely than I remember pixelvision cameras being tho, from the footage I have seen before! Did you do anything special? Maybe it was because I watched on a smaller window this time tho!

love

It was dubbed to vhs, scaled up in final cut and then compressed to this quicktime on the web. The wide shots have some wave effects from a bad cable connected to the vcr. Other than that it's all pixel vison. You can see the pixels better here on my monitor. The web version loses some of that bad quality, quality ;)
