I Just Might Explode

silly.

So. I just realized I uploaded this Super 8 film last month and never shared it. It's kinda silly and random, but I feel like it's art school so I'm allowed to random things, right? ;) I made this film for my Film class.

I finally finished editing some of the super 8 films I have shot throughout this semester for my film class! Here is the video I pulled together for our "one-shot assignment". It's not the most exciting film you'll ever watch, but I like it. (The last minute or so is black and blank for some reason. Apparently I didn't crop it correctly. Ooops!)

Warning: the 'f-word' is in the song near the end for my sensitive readers... ;)

The Song is Bear by The Antlers.

You can watch my midterm film here. Everything is shot on Super 8 film in a Super 8 camera, developed at a lab, and then transferred to a hard drive where I edit in Final Cut Pro. So fancy, I know. ;) I made two others films that I'll share soon. 

Thanks for watching!

P.S. Forgot to mention that it's of my sweetiepants roommate, Victoria working on her drawing homework. I haven't mentioned her much on the blog for some silly reason. She's the best roommate one could ask for(seriously, she sleeps with music and lights on and is the nicest person ever). Thanks Victoria!

one day.

I made this little Super 8 film for my film class midterm and I really, really like how it came out. I was skeptical at first and despite the expense of Super 8 film+developing(even with my student discounts and living in a city where they still have a few developing labs), I'm totally loving Super 8! The look of it and especially the fact I don't have to deal with sound.

Last Sunday I asked my lovely friend Dina if she would so kindly model for me and she said yes!

I realized once it was done that it felt very Sofia Coppola. Which I don't think is a bad thing at all. The light meter wasn't working on the camera I used, so I guessed on the aperture. It ended up overexposed, but I like it that way.  The song is The Lucky One by Au Revoir Simone.

The weather was perfect that day and the sunshine so glorious. Afterwards we went out to Tillies and sat in another park near campus and talked about baby names while eating brownies and drinking coffee.  True story.
