That's how we roll here in the Dinosaur Factory.

Chk Chk Chk

unfortunately it was too dark for our dino friend.

Christopher's face in the beginning, so good!! I love how super 8 looks.

whatever you are perfect...so perfect.

Wow Jay - so deep. <3

boys boys
boys

haha...one of my favourite times was when we were singing on the drive back from NYC

We were singing so that I wouldn't fall asleep and crash and kill us.

i used to try to hold my breath during them..but i don't anymore. my lungs are too small for that
hahaha


8mm is awesome, and relatively cheap...well cheaper than 16mm that's for sure.

It was a wonderful experience not having a video camera. Since I didn't have that much film and couldn't really shoot at night, I was able to enjoy the company of the people around me and what I was doing instead of living my summer behind a viewfinder. This looks like an old home video. haha. My real memory is march sharper and clearer than this film, which is good because this only covers a small iota of what happened on my trip. Sometimes it's hard to make a compromise, enjoy the moment and what you are doing with very little to no photographs or video or spend so much time doing all that but having all these awesome photos and videos.

Wow what a tangent. I meant to write "thanks for the comment" or something like that..hahaha. I'm glad you are part of my NYC memory bank.

True, true. Live life and don't be a slave to recording it via media. A friend of mine once said, you can miss out on a lot of living with those near you by trying to record it for strangers.

For me that's the joy of analogue. You're not able to review it till you get home, You're not staring into a screen and you're limited - 36 exposures, 50 foot whatever. Take the pictures in the sunshine then put the camera away and have fun. Well, that's how i like it. Nice film By the way.

Yeah totally I shot for a bit then put it away and enjoyed most of my day..it was awesome. :-)

Aww thanks a lot. If I end up going to portland, I am not really sure anymore at this point cause my money well is running dry, I'm going to shoot 16mm. It's such a wonderful thing remember memories in analog.

you're right!

i hope you get to portland. sell some dino sperm!

well you pretty much did, ha.

so many good times, even more if you would have been there!

Darn things like work and money... Hopefully there will be a next time.

Karen, I don't know if my comment really indicates this, but I thought this was really well done. I can tell that you just really enjoyed your trip and makes me feel... how do you say... lonely? That's not right. I don't know, but I am just really happy that the entire trip was so good for you all.

It's okay Ben, we are all young, and we have the rest of our lives to have the "time of our lives." There will ALWAYS be a next time even if its not an official vimeo thing. One day when we are all rich and famous and can travel around whenever we want. haha. I definitely wished you were there. :-)

get on it!!!

Awww thanks neibbahummana. I can't wait to see your stuff...and by stuff..i mean..stuff.

hahaha

haha thanks so much Patrick :-)

Thanks hun. I wish I had footage of the meet up, but it was way tooo dark for my little camera.

You are part of my memory for life.

hee hee thanks so much :-)

hahahaa


16mm,. 35mm, 8mm.

It's kinda nice to know that that couldve been a reality.

However that is what I am doing for my thesis, 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, and HD.

I dont think the 8mm will be a film that will stand on its own, but who knows. Maybe.


ill hold your breath..

what, no 70mm?
get that MGM glamour.

haha i wish but I don't think I can afford that. Although we have the means to edit that on a flatbed here. I'm going to be homeless after I shoot my 35mm.

Aww thanks a lot :-)

floaty glitchy out of focus over exposed day dreams. hee hee

Yeay for film
yeay for friends!

Yeay to all of the above :)

Yeah it was amazing. The summer isn't even over yet..more traveling to be done. It is so hard to pick a song because I will forever associate the song with a time in my life or a video that I've made...but I love this song so much, it makes me feel really "infinite" if that makes any sense at all.

One day our paths will cross :-)

Unfortunately the film doesn't do the song justice because it's an amazing song!! I think I'm going to see them in October I'm so excited..I can't stand it!

It's peanut butter jelly time!

Haha I think I remember someone making a comment on the 16mm that I shot and how it was weird to see "modern cars" haha. It's so hard to know you can only shoot essentially 3 minutes. You have to be extra picky with what you shoot. I tried to be somewhat careless with this roll since it was more of a test because I had never shot with this particular camera before.

The place that I order my film from and send it to get processed actually telecines it for me for about $10 so I get a mini DV tape as well with my footage. It's a really awesome place.. it's about $10 for the 50ft roll of super 8 and costs about $10 for processing. So not too shabby. :-)

Karen, where do you have the film processed? Cheapest I found, was a transfer to DVD, with s/h, for $31. That was just for 50', or one cartridge.

Thought about just having it developed, then use my digital camera to capture the film off my projector.

The transfer to DVD i found was $9 and $5 for every roll after that or $14 for miniDV and $5 for every roll after that.

I go through Dwayne's Photos (dwaynesphotos.com)

I buy my film through there too. They are nice they send an envelop and an address sticker too when i buy film so i can just stick that crap in there and mail it to them.

Thank you so much! That is actually cheaper than anything I've found! hmmm that website was for a wedding photographer. I didn't see any links there suggesting that he develops film.

oh shoot take out the S


dwaynesphoto.com

hahah hunks are awesome. I have lots of hunky friends...very fortunate of me. haha. I had a really great time I miss it all so dearly

Aww you're very kind sir. haha I think it may be more that it was Super 8 than me. haha.

That's so exciting! Who do you go through for processing/telecine and how much does it cost you? I'm just trying to canvas and see if the place I go through is the best deal. The song is "Boneless" by The Notwist from their new album The Devil, You + Me.


I can't wait to see what kind of stuff you shoot. This was somewhat of a test, now I'm ready to buy more super 8 and shoot more coherent things when I have more money. :-)

I have a friend who used to shoot short films on Super8 with me back when we were younger. We even had an editor (cut & splice). He still has the movies stored in Florida somewhere. So we're researching the best places to process at lower prices. The expense is not in buying the cartridges, but processing and/or transferring the film. =(

Anyhoo, I'm going to do a transfer; but if I were to just get it developed, I guess I would go through Kodak. There's a company in New York who will send Super8 along to have it processed, but apparently, from what I read, they are incompetent (i.e. not expressing to the company that a film shot at 18fps shouldn't be processed at 24fps.) My buddy and I are still shopping around.

Best thing to do is google Super 8 film and check out places that process and transfer film. Lowest price I found for a transfer was $31 for the process (1 50' cartridge), transfer, and shipping&handling.

haha whatever
you're one to talk
killer.

killer is a compliment! to "kill" a video "to properly execute vimeo awesomeness" in greek. :)

ha

My camera only shoots 18 or 32. Most of it was shot on 32. some 18.

Weird huh. haha

Not weird. It's the age of the camera I'm assuming. I have a vintage camera that shoots at 18. I was just curious, because the company that processed the film knew what they were doing. The film looks crisp. =D

Aww thanks a lot <3 I love this song/album./band.

You're super
like that one time
i was being dumb on the street with my friends
and you were like "karen?"
and i was like...

...?
?
?///?

haha
alex?>

ahha

and then we hugged.
and i was like cool! super

That one time. LOL

Yes it makes noise while I am filming which is moderately embarrassing to those around me. Also I stretched it out to 16:9 and slightly cropped it instead of leaving it at 4:3. I only did ONE color correction to this, the footage of hannah and victoria and the gang because it was wayyy too dark, all other colours were as is because I shot colour reversal.

:-)

hee hee. Aww that is really kind of you to say. I really appreciate it so much.

<3 Have a great rest of the weekend!

aww so cool. thanks so much marion!

oddly enough i feel like i miss you, but it's not like either of us went anywhere.

im a bad friend. i owe you a collab but ive been so busy.

you are half of my heart.

nothing important .///.

that comment has been redacted, for no one's eyes to see. heee hee

beep boop boop

It was my first time using this particular camera. I was having problems with focusing but I think it's all right, mostly with the wide shots. I want to buy more film and play with it...but i don't wanna spend more money processing.developing film for now..I'll wait a bit. hee hee.

Utilizo a un traductor en línea libre, así que sé que esto será realmente injusticia. Quise decir gracias tanto, y aprecio realmente que usted tomando el tiempo de mirar mis videos. Hay mucho ellos, así que mirando cualquiera significa mucho a mí. Gracias tanto para es inspirador a mí como yo hago las películas.

Aww gracias tanto. ¿Desafortunadamente, la Fotografía es sólo un pasatiempo que desea que yo no hubiera desarrollado más, pero mejor tiempo de comenzar que ahora? ¿Cómo hace usted? ¿Tiene usted los planes grandes por este fin de semana?
