Here is my Vietnam footage shot in Super 8. We spent 2 weeks in Saigon for another project and I used to opportunity to make this short travel film. We stayed mostly in Saigon and left the city only to visit a somewhat depressing zoo. Other than that, I brought this camera with me throughout the trip and filmed things I was visually drawn too. This was one of the first times experimenting with a Super 8 camera and I grew to appreciate how nostalgic the footage feels. People reference the way film looks in comparison to digital, but it was really the process of using film I enjoyed the most. Not being able to see your shot right away and hearing the film running in the camera was very different than what I’m used to. Then in post, I really didn’t touch the edits other than adding the overlays. The sequence and string of clips were straight from the camera and unaltered. Stay tuned for more videos and since then I have shot lots of 16mm! Music – “I’m on Fire” by Chromatics Terry is having a show with his photos from the trip this Friday at Cykel. There will be free beer, so come by! Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more content.
