There's something about looking at a thing without all the gaps filled in that makes it awesome.

Prev week
I shot everything at JPEG-small resolution on burst mode so I would have a sizable buffer.
Then I used Quicktime 7 to open all the images as an image sequence at 12fps - Saved that out as ProRes 422 - 12fps at full resolution.
I took that file and brought it into a Final Cut 1920 x 1080 ProRes 422 23.98fps sequence and got the scale/crop that I wanted on each "scene". I render that into a "working file". Technically I could have applied all my effects to this sequence, but I am on an older Mac Book Pro and it chokes on the large native movie... so I rendered it out instead... plus I'm not worried about degradation here.
So now I have a 1920 x 1080 ProRes 23.98fps movie file(s). These are basically my working files that I import into FCP and apply all the effects to and cut up for the edits.
As to the effects it's basically Colorista II to set the color and blow out the highlights. the Magic Bullet Misfire to apply the fading, scratches, vignette, etc..
Finally I added a mask from FCP and then feathered it a bit to make the crop look good, looped a projector sound effect and there you have it.
I think that is all of the process. Towards the end I realized that if I over exposed the still slightly in the camera it made post a bit easier becuase I didn't have to fake it. All the upfront rendering of the stills and scaling down the full size files were a pain, but it was worth it.
Thanks for this great idea. really creative.
They were really different inside and out. I think I shot mostly in aperature priority mode to try and keep a fairly decent depth of field. I nudged the exposure up about a 1/2 stop.
The style is very forgiving when it comes to settings since it has a nonperfect feel to it. But mainly I'd stick with deep focus stuff opposed to shallow since most of the 8mm stuff was never shallow.
anybody who don't have video cam could make thing like this, as long they have hight speed continuous burst on the dslr.
question: is there any particular CF card to use?
I don't know about you, but for me my little video
is a tribute to my father filming me and my brother more than forty years ago with a real Canon 8mm film camera!
I don't think it's just slower frame rate that give a handcranked 8mm effect. it's all the anomalies that go along with it. Perhaps if you wrote an expression in AE to frame drop at random places and added various motion blur between frames (or pulled it out by shooting at a faster shutter speed) it might get a lot closer.
It's been my experience that outside of a true pro doing post work.. it always ends up looking like post work.
Were you shooting at the high-speed 8fps with yuour 7D? Do you think shooting at a slower 4fps would yield too few frames and make it too herky-jerky?
Sadly no link... yet. I am still a vimvirgin and yet to post...ahem. The results are so so and need finessing.The 'proof of concept' sequence I shot using a canon G6. I have yet to shoot the script that includes that particular scene. Will repeat with my 5D and try it in B&W... though thinking about it, surely it must have been done before? A case of convergent evolution I'd say.
What a fun little video. Really out a smile on our faces. :o)
