8mm Demolition Derby off projector screen

Post by IShootR8 »

Shot this at the local demolition derby a few weeks ago then recorded it right off the projector screen. Might have to do it again with the projector closer because the dark scenes did appear brighter than what the camcorder recorded.

Shot with a Tower T-185. For some reason, all those people using their cell phones to take pics/vids thought a key-wound 8mm movie camera was quite unusual.

nicely done...I liked the projector ticking sound too! Makes me think it's 1970 all over again with the style of transfer - I say that as a compliment to the look. It's great.

Thanks. I had to go back into windows movie maker and lower the audio around 75% and re-save because it was just too loud the first time.
