I'm very interested in any kind of film and I think it's great to see your stuff. It's not a very common thing to see on Vimeo these days. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Logan. It's too damn expensive for people, self included.

Thanks for viewing. Wish the compressions were better.

Thanks Bob.

I wish I could afford it more often. Fortunately I find ways to piggy back projects and save money doing the artsy fartsy stuff.

Talk soon man

Emily,

That was a very kind hearted and warm comment. Thank you.

If more of the general planet could share that ideology this world would have so much beauty.

I look forward to the experience ahead and your contributions to vimeo.

Hello JT:

Love the aesthetic of this film. I'm on a quest to find similar stocks to give me a "70's" feel and look for a short I'm planning. Would you mind telling me which parts of this film were 7277 and which were 7289? Also, what expiration date did they have....MANY THANKS! Art
JT GURZI 6 months ago

Art,

The 7277 (320t) was used for almost all the day exterior work. I shot with a nikon r10 and just about always closed the camera down an additional 2 stops.

Most of the tunnel, magic hour and night work was on the 7289 (800t) stock. I needed everything I could get and wanted a heavy grain structure.

At the time, January 2005, these stocks were available in 50ft. super 8mm cartridges at pro8mm in Burbank, Ca. Now, unfortunately, I believe both of these stocks are not being produced.

You should know that I did do a supervised transfer and played with the look of some of the film. Enjoy the journey and drop me line if you have any further questions.

Best,
JT
