But Before I Go

I am leaving Washington again to continue school at Syracuse. This was a solid summer and I managed to document small parts of it through the lens of a super 8 camera. The video embedded in this post is mostly raw and unedited with a little music accompaniment. There's no real structure here. Just loosely shot to test the type of film and functions of the camera and also to create somewhat of a time capsule for my friends.

Here is a glimpse of my 4th of July at Daniel's as well as my day at Larabee Beach with Nick. Shot on two rolls of Ektachrome 64T:

Cleo In The Universe

Back on August 2nd a number of people including myself banded together for an arduous one day film shoot for our friend Jimmy Marble. Cleo In The Universe is a project Jimmy wrote and directed about exploring love in the vastness of the galaxy. The script contains a unique blend of multimedia. The process involved using a projector, stop-motion techniques, and archival footage. The bulk of the film was shot on Super 8 with Ektachrome 64T film. It was one hell of a demanding day and everyone did fantastic work. Members of the crew snapped pictures along the way:
