Super 8 transferred to DVcam(2001)

An intense, vibrant ,dreamlike and beautiful in-camera super 8 film of a garden in summer.

A haiku film poem, the film was shot in camera over a period of about 2 weeks. In camera dissolves and dense filters and macro timelapse build , and layered superimpositions give the plants and sulight a dream like quality.

Filmed on a Sankyo XL 620 Supertronic and (I think!) my Chinon Super 8 as well - which involved swapping the same cartridge across cameras.

This film uses in camera dissolves, single frame, and timed planned sequences of colour bursts. For each shot coloured gels were altered. For the early sections the I made hand made lens 'adaptors' and lenses. The entire film was made in small sections over a 2 week period when the light was the same.

Stlylistically, this is similar to 'I Shadow' but on film rather than DV Cam. None of the colourisation took place in post production and was all done live in camera.

This technique reaches in peak in the (as yet unedited) footage from a temple in India. The film made during a trip to India in 2002 is called 'One Place to One Place' and will be premiered during 2008.
