Super-8 on National TV Commercial...

[Alex]

"Respect the Van", I knew it had Super-8 in it.

Then I found this clip on the web....

For Arlington Road, it was all about the edits; he spliced together serene images of suburbia - picket fences, kids on bikes, American flags - then added harsh yellow and red hues to give a sense of paranoia. "Kind of like, 'Hello, welcome to suburbia as **** !'" says Arlington Road director Mark Pellington, who drove through dozens of neighborhoods with Cooper, capturing footage on super-8 and 16-millimeter film for the sequence.

I Saw Arlington Road, don't recall it having Super-8 in it, but the same person who directed Arlington Road also directed "Respect the Van".

"Respect the Van" is a Honda commercial for their Odyssey Passenger Van.

Is this a commercial that's running right now Alex? Or an older spot?

I'm always looking for Super 8 footage in commercials. Or vintage cameras/projectors.

When I started this thread I had just seen the commercial.

The Honda Odyssey "Respect the Van" is a current commercial. The Odyssey is a line of autos being currently being marketed by Honda.
