Back from the abyss

[Mike Buckles]

Hi guys, now that I'm almost thru dealing with the divorce, wanted to get involved in my guilty pleasure again...super 8! I decided it would be great therapy for me to take my mind off my troubles to get back to my hobby...I decided to make a short film showing my exodus and change happening in my life....point of view slanted in my favor of course, but that's the beauty of being director...you get to call the shots!

Haven't filmed it yet...It's a humorus poke at a bad situation, parodying a 60's tv show opening...i'm going to be in it, probably have my daughter film it.

Hey Mikey B, glad you're back!

Is your film a point of view film, (meaning your eyes are the camera?) or are you in the film and someone else ran camera?

Did you build a voicetrack?

um, if the ex-wife ends up in it, shoot her in Etkachrome Type G, or Tri-X pushed two stops.

[Mike Buckles]

Oh yeah, now you got the idea!!! I do have some Type G ektachrome, maybe i'll photograph her in very dim light, then have it pushed! [img]graemlins/broken_heart.gif[/img]

and use one of those store bought flood lights, and light her face from below the waist. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Great idea!! Give her that "evil matron of the manor at midnight" look!!! [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img]

hehehehe...especially without an 85 filter, you can give your heroine the ektachrome pale white blue (seen a ghost) look.
