Happy Friday!

There’s been a lot of exciting stuff going on for me this past week!

I’m super excited to say that I just received some great film from Kodak for my next photo shoot!

I’ll also be shooting two 35mm test rolls with my new used Nikon F3HP and I will also be testing a new used Polaroid Colorpack II instant camera this weekend! And I’ve also been researching… Zines (more on that later).

Sean Young shot 8mm film on the movie DUNE!?!?

I just came across the most crazy thing! I never knew it until just now, but Sean Young shot 8mm film during the making of DUNE! It’s pretty amazing to watch. And I like the idea that Sean Young, in all her beauty, was filmming everyone else. You can see the pull she has on people as they look into her camera. From her voiceover, it sounds like she knew that DUNE was a special time and event. And that it was not an entirely successful movie. How cool she took the time to shoot, not just the actors, but also all the crew, and in a very organized way. I didn’t realize how intelligent she was.

I like the ending too.

8mm film is AWESOME, so remember to use it if possible!

After reading this article on the bbc.com on shooting celluloid film, and in particular 8mm film, I went fishing. Look at the great links I caught:

An awesome organization based in Brooklyn, teaching celluloid filmmaking:
www.mononoawarefilm.com

And here’s a list of 8mm film resources in New York City:

That got me thinking about what it costs to shoot 8mm film in New York City. I think these guys may have the best pricing around. They also sell cameras and film. I’ll have to stop by their showroom:
www.duallcamera.com

And this is a place in LA that’s all about 8mm film/cameras/education:
www.pro8mm.com

Happy shooting!
