What type of projects are you shooting in Super 8?

[Nigel]

Lately my S8 has been an adjunct to my S16 work. I haven't shot a project solely on S8 in a while. I do have a few ideas for some S8 projects that are starting to come together. I think that they will have to wait until the Spring due to thier subject matter.

Good Luck

Hey everyone!
It's been awhile..I'm in pre-production for a commercial for Century21 real estate..shooting in Super-8 (K-40) camera's will be my trusty Kodak M-2 multi-speed crystal sync(clive tobin built)..and my NIZO 2056...it's a trip to have all these professional film tech's and big grip trucks and be shooting super-8...but it's fun as **** !
I'm glad to see Super-8 is growing every day.
Still wish Kodak would release ektachrome 100D in super-8

Hey guys-

The last few projects I shot in super 8 were for a few upcoming tv shows (Ebay Television) and some commericals. The last commerical I shot was for the Los Angeles Radio Station "Kiss FM" and the tv show "Weakest Link" staring George Gray. George is a great guy with a strange sense of humor.
Other than that I'm getting ready to shoot a trailer for my senior project at school. Most of it will be shot on 16mm but some of it will be shot on super 8 using K40.

I'm in post now for my feature In My Image - shot entirely on K40 with a 4008ZMII, and hopefully finished in Dec.

There's a web page at http://www.mango-a-gogo.com/inmyimage/image.htm being my first film it's been quite a labour of love - with alot of things I'd do differently the next time - but it's been a learning experience as well so that's good.

I entered the L.A. Flicker "Attack of the 50-foot Reels" contest...where you pay $25.00 and get a roll of film, then send it back to them for processing... so everything has to be an in-camera edit. No one sees the film until the day of the screening! I have until early October to shoot my roll of Eccch-tachrome (K40 wasn't one of the options and I thought I'd try something different since I've shot almost exclusively in Plus-X and I don't like Tri-X very much).

Anyway, my film? A stop-motion animated parody of "Toy Story" called "Evil Toy Story" -- we'll have G.I. Joes blasting the **** out of Woody and his lame friends!

Wow... haven't posted here in ages. Probably should more often.

My first 'project' is a ridiculous little picture called 'Muffin'. It's... well... a muffin sitting at the side of a road. It was basically a result of a friend's and my own silliness. And it was an excuse to try out the Tri-X stock. I'm awaiting its processing now. We hope to follow it up with some sequels. What a waste of money [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I also recently shot some time lapse footage at a sci-fi convention I was on staff for. It will be a part of the convention highlights video.

This type of movie is my definition of great cinema. Out of all the people who see this film (probably 3 or 4), I guarantee each one will give it a 10 out of 10. Let's see Spielberg do that.

As for what I'm shooting, I shoot a roll of TriX everytime there's a major event with me and my friends--usually a barbecue. I've shot a couple of lovely short films (~4 minutes each) just to practice some technique like "cut on action." I'm trying to learn by doing. It gets a little pricey though, but I guess it's better than a nasty drug habit.
