wow. thanks man. thats one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about any film ive ever made. i watched your films.. really good stuff. i like your style with the way you set up your site as well. ive never seen a site like that.. im glad you liked the score and the 64 frames per second.. i was trying to keep this short consistant with the single framed and 12 frames per second right up against the longer 64 frame per second shots to create a certain tension between the viewer and the image.

from just watching your stuff, i think you would love to work in real film.. you can find non reflexive bolex cameras for pretty cheap. super 8 is even cheaper. with this peice i used really cheap hicon (high contrast) film. its ISO is 8. and its pretty unstable when you process it by hand yourself. but its really cheap.

anyways... thanks again for all the positive feedback.. hit me up anytime.. peace!

you're frickin welcome ;) hehe. seriously great aesthetic you have. a lot of peeps get quite hackneyed when their medium is so obviously tied to itself ("too 16mm" or "too video" if ya see what i mean...), and u've obviously got a clear passive narrator to it all :)

so how much we talkin with this kind of film equipment. whats boggling me is how you digitised it and got it online? did you self-develop (think i read on another vid about you exposing film in a paint can?) and then take it to be digitised?

once i sort my job prospects out - just moved to london last month - i'll definitely consider moving some income into stuff like this!

yo. thanks man.. i know what you mean about the self reflexivity of the medium. and how some people use it as an excuse or a crutch to pass it off as an intentional choice in their art. rather than telling people the truth and just admitting that its really just a lack of means to create images in a different manner more fitting to their concept. i tried to make it intentional and tie in with the feel and concept behind the film. im glad you get something from the film style. it makes me more motivated to make more.

as far as equipment.. man... you can get a super 8 camera for under 50 dollars in some places.. really simple ones.. dont ever pay more than 250 for a non-reflex 16mm bolex or similar type.. if its a relfex viewfinder 16mm camera (meaning you see exactly what your shooting out of the frame while your shooting it) it can be way more.. like 1000. i have the cheap kind. lenses can be hard to come by. but check it out online. theres alot of people who just have there cameras collecting dust on the shelf never to be used again. some people just want to get rid of them. a little while back here in sf, i bought two super8 cameras, two vintage 16mm cameras (one that looks like its from world war 2), a few 16mm lenses, and two 16mm projectors for 100 dollars of an old filmaker cat..

just keep your eyes open and the cameras will find you.. anyways talk to you later man.. looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

oh yeah and about the processing.. i have hand processed some 16mm film spagetti style in a paint bucket. after the film dries i just telecine it to a dv tape using an oldschool elmo projector hooked up digitally to a mini dv tape recorder.
