Thanks! I haven't mass-produced DVD's at this point of "The Light of Eons," but I'll certainly let everyone know when it is. It will be screening this Thursday, February 9, at FlickerNYC, which I'm looking forward to! Here's the info: http://www.flickernyc.com FLICKER #16 Thursday, Februar...

congrats! It's really nicely shot. I shot a short on Super-8 that has had some festival success in the last year (alas, not Sundance). It was just profiled on Kodak.com. You can also get a trailer on my site. Links below, and I'd love to compare Super-8 notes! David http://www.thelightofeons.com the...

hello all! I'm very excited to say that there is a profile of "The Light of Eons" on Kodak.com! It's a great discussion of my experiences shooting "Eons" on Super-8. If you haven't seen it, check it out! (you may have to copy/paste this link) http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/s8m...

Hello! Sorry this post is so last minute, but I've been preparing for this event more than promoting it. My film, "The Light of Eons" will screen today (Sept. 21, 2005) at the Apple Store in Soho NYC at 6pm. I will give a talk afterwards about how I used Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack to edi...

Hey there. Speaking of super-8 to HD24p! I did that very thing with my short, "The Light of Eons." I was very lucky to get a telecine on a Spirit from S8 (which I shot at 24fps) to HD24p at Technicolor in NYC. It looks great, if I may say so! The interesting thing is that the grain looks g...

Hey there. Just wondering if you made it to River Run and were able to see "The Light of Eons." Hope so, and would love to know what you thought, and also hear how the screening went. It's tough knowing you're film is screening while you sit at work. Thanks! David http://www.thelightofeons...

Congratulations! Another Super-8 film making a mark! My short, "The Light of Eons" won best short at the Westchester Film Festival in March -- I hope to see your film and meet you at a future festival!

Hey there. To shoot "The Light of Eons" I used a Nizo S560, which is a great camera. The Eumig I used is a Makro Sound 65 XL.

I love all the discussion of the trailer! Lots of food for thought. I'll let you know if I get a new version up.

What flavor of HD24P did you use 720 or 1080? Did you have the film transferred professionally or did you use a home built scanner of your own design? I have 2 home built film scanners that I made 2 years ago. One can do 1280 X 1024 and the other does 800 X 600. I often wonder why no one had done H...

Congratulations on winning the festival! I have to say your cinematography is very impressive. Good job! :wink: I my self am shooting a short film with Tri X soon and wondered if you used any filters or anything to improve the contrast? Hmmm maybe im just underestimating what Tri X can do . . . but ...

Actually, "The Light of Eons" is playing on APRIL 30TH, at 1pm in Houston. Hope you can still make it, and bring everyone you can! I plan to be there.

Sufian, Let's see.. I used a Nizo for most shooting, including the time lapse, and a Eumig for the lower light situations, like in the subway and such. I shot primarily on Tri-x, but a few time lapse shots were done with plus-x. I did the telecine at Technicolor in New York, and I was lucky to have ...
