  • This film was made last summer in NYC. Its interesting to see how filming NYC in a modern time can look so different simply because of the format used.

    Enjoy :)
    Music: That Home, Cinematic Orchestra.
    GEAR USED:
    Canon 518 Auto-Zoom Super 8

    The grain adds this weird human fragility to the footage. Everything and everyone looks so vulnerable, it's beautiful.

    When I clicked on this video, I had no idea it would be this great. Fantastic job.

    This was fun to watch. I love what Super 8 can do for a sense of nostalgia, even with recent footage. Thanks for sharing!

    It's very cool to see modern things expressed through this medium's aesthetic that calls back to a very specific timeframe. Super 8 makes everything look like it's occurring between 1973 and 1985.
    While visually this is novel, I'd challenge you to develop something with a narrative and/or rhythmic structure to add credence to the medium.

      @thisisoutset 5 років тому +15

      All film has sprocket holes which allow the film to be wound onto the camera allowing it to be exposed. The notch you see is one of those holes, and it shows up black because when it’s scanned for digital conversion there is nothing there.
