Thanks Blake! :-)

The things shot on film are with a bolex...they look sped up are shot at a lower frame rate, less than 24, so that when they are played on a normal projector they give the illusion that it is sped up...the opposite goes for the things that look like they are in slow motion (shoot at a frame rate above 24). 16mm film is a delicious thing.

delicious indeed! and this clip is scrumdidliumptious!

Psh charlie! You're work is beautiful! hee hee thanks buddy!

I agree. The music amplifies the images. Great job

It's such a beautiful song, to a certain degree, I feel like I didn't do it justice, but I tried. :-)

Haha thanks Nshizack! I think the idea behind it was that..January 2007 was the biggest manipulation of time that i have ever experienced in my life. For one month, it felt like it lasted a year. Only a quarter of what I experienced in that month is exhibited by this clip. But it was a month that I shall never forget that transcended time and space.

Aww thanks Gerardo, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching it :-)

Thanks Doctor. I shall be reading my page tomorrow when I wake up.
:-)

GO TO BED.

I did go to bed!

Aww Thanks Javed, It's the first time I did one of these Vimeo Projects, it was a lot of fun..and hurt my head a lot thinking what I should do for it. But that's the point..a challenge..haha. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks a lot Serbay!

Well thanks Elemen....you know that means a lot coming from you. Thanks again.

T.I.M.E.

Mister

hannah hannah!!! sorry i left you guys last night...booo.


I left you in that sausage filled room.

hahaha

MMm i love crreeep face mc slow shots. Thanks Ian. beep beep!

Thanks John... "you've done it again." hahah that for some reason is silly to me. YOU did it again!

aww thanks blue eyed. how are you doing? I hope the new years is treating you well!

*sigh* Trees are so beautiful. I don't do anything, they just are.

My friend Eddy and I took a dolly into the Nature Preserve at our school. Basically it's just 2 PVC pipes and a piece of board with wheels. We spent a day in the snow and tried to film a story without words...we just got a bunch of shots of trees. hahaha. I am a huge sucker for camera movement....so I will do almost anything to create it....skateboard....roller skate wheels....office chair....wagon....childrens toys....bicycle....chances are..if it moves..it can be used as a dolly.

Oh man I would love to shoot with you..I wish I had more fundage to visit GR..i miss it so much, it's really quite beautiful. If I'm ever gonna be in town, even for mere hours, I will let you know so we can shoot something.

Here's more sexy Bolex/Arriflex action: vimeo.com/366085

do you guys get to shoot film at school?

I just found out recently that one of my close friends actually owns two 16mm cameras, one of which is a bolex, so I'm gonna try to do more 16mm. Also I'm shooting 16mm next semester.

We do get to shoot on film. I shot a short black and white on the Bolex last semester and have played around with the Arriflex BL. I want to do some more stuff with the Bolex. That is quite the sweet camera.

I am also in 16mm 2 class right now. We haven't started anything yet.

How much does it cost for you to get it onto a digital transfer? I know it's quite steep around here. Yours looks great in this piece.

OH man you can only imagine how awkward it was to Tilt my camera while trying to watch the screen and put the tape into the cassette player....that's why i missed the slot once and had to put it in again haha. Sometimes I think "man i'm so glad no one is watching me do this right now, its so awkward." I didn't want the cassette footage to be completely static.

I love slow movement so much...its so beautiful. I really appreciate your feedback, it means a lot to me. 5 Likes for your feedback! Thank you.

This is a really wonderful compliment. I feel emotional watching it..i love tress a lot. They are unreal.

Thanks a lot kyle. :-)

im so jealous! for the month of january im only taking one class for grad school. the semester doesn't start until the end of jan or beginning of feb. i am doing a cinematography class next semester and will be shooting 16. However, i just found out a good friend of mine has a couple 16mm cameras and a ton of super 8 cameras so we will hopefully write something to shoot soon.


Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to seeing your 16mm..it's so exciting!!!!!

Camera..

..."SPEED!!!!!!"

aww thank you so much Elin

Thanks a lot Karl! The stuff at the end is so nostalgic for me. I wish i could go back to when I shot this stuff. Thanks a lot for watching :-)

oh sweet i'm about to peep it out right now.where is it.....i'll wait maybe it will show up.

i know i feel bad i didnt justice to how beautiful this song is...it's so incredible.

Aww thanks Bill :-)

You are so kind.
so precious. :-)

You know what I was thinking, I was thinking of making a channel of my favorite work that I've made..because all the "what could be considered to be good stuff" gets lost among all my other videos. But I didn't know if it would be a chauncy move...so I'll have to think about it...but I do have an album with my better films.


This song is so beautiful...I've seen it used on probably 10 videos this week and it is just so incredible....

Thanks doctor!

I made such a channel. But of my work. Not yours. Granted, that was before they implemented albums, but I'm sure in some remote galaxy someone thinks I am deserving of my own "good stuff" channel. Oh, and those here on earth that have subscribed to it. You definitely should do a "best of" channel. I'd totally subscribe.

All your stuff is sooo solid. I want to start shooting more 16...i just wish it wasn't so expensive.

This song is so beautiful

What do you shoot with?

Oh man I had to watch this again as well. It's been a while. Usually it will take a while before I watch something again that I upload.

I think that's the best part about film, that you can interpret it in your own way and apply it to certain emotional contexts that you may have.

That is really touching about your father. I hope he realizes that he's missing out on a really incredible person.

Paul....you are too generous but I take all your words to heart and I appreciate them deeply. Thank you.

Well, I appreciate your films.

And my father? pffffffffffffft

But that's how life can be sometimes. ;)

Let's go.

Go go go

too bad it costs pretty much..gold. haha

Have you seen the doco I think called "american movie"? about the guy shooting a horror flick on 16mm from wisconsin. that always reminds me of the price.

hmmm i want should check that out.

Agreed!


Thanks sir.

Wow Byron thank you for your kind words. You are a wonderful person. The ending...I honestly had no idea what to put and I had to watch what I had thus far and it made me think of just that entire month and so I decided to put photographs. oh dear nostalgia.

16mm is made of golden dreams and love. That's probably why it looks so good. I don't know. I have another 16mm on my vimeo and I just like its feel. vimeo.com/825260

Thanks again Byron!

Aw thanks Dorian. I think it may be the song more than my video. it's kind of an amazing song <3

hahaa so intense.

my heart is too big for it's own good.

Yeah i used one similar to this vimeo.com/2188207

:-)

Thanks a lot Yan! This film is quite nostalgic for me.

Oh thank you so much. I'm glad its the good kinda cry, i would hate for it to be the bad.

::hug::

Thank you so much my dear. This song is breathtaking. And this video doesn't do it any justice at all.
