Old time silent movie

Filmed with a Eumig C3 double 8 camera on Fomapan stock. And manually edited.

I really enjoyed your film. I've had six bikes stolen from me in my lifetime; maybe he's the guy. The piano music was perfect. Some close-up facial expressions would have been nice, and if you would have undercranked the camera a bit to speed up the action, would have added a bit of vintage look to it. Make another one.

Thank you for your replies. When we made this film we tried to move the camera as little as possible. I have noticed that the camera stod very still in the Chaplin types of films and they didn´t use many close ups either. Plus that it was I who played "the bike napper" and had to direct the film in front of the camera and our camera man had never in his life fimed with an 8 mm camera before. The digitalization of this film is not so good and that is why the speed isn´t accurate. When I show the film whit my projector I usualy show it a bit faster.
