Comprised over 6 years of shooting Kodak Motion Picture Film, "Lights and Shadows" is my love letter to film as well as skateboarding. Shot on discontinued plus-x and 100D reversal as well as the gorgeous Vision 3 color negative stocks.

 

I really hope the members of the cinematography.com community will take the time to view my film submission and vote in my favor as I'd love to continue shooting film for all of my future projects.

 

Thanks!

I wanted to vote for your film, but to do so they wanted contact info,which I don't want to give. However, you get my vote anyway right here! Great video, keep em coming!

Tunnel shot was a top three moment for sure for me... the transitions were spot on and the quick shot of the wheels turning was really smart!!

Thanks Ted! There was definitely no shortage of content for this project as I've been using 8mm film in my skateboarding video's for years! Thrilled you were impressed :)

Nice work, Hunter! I was always digging your Happy Medium stuff anyway.

I have some questions about the clip:

 

Were you allowed to mix some digital footage in (VX 1000)?

Can you name a few shots that were captured on Kodak's Vision 3?

Did you apply some grain in post? Or was it captured like this?

 

What was the image resolution of your digitized files?

 

TIA,

Daniel

[Hunter O'Shea]

Thanks Daniel! The contest rules stated that the films must be comprised of at least 50% super 8 film and I wanted to show what some of the b roll was intended for so the vx footage was included. The vision 3 is the majority of the color footage including Johnrob breaking his board on the drop in and the zoom shot of his face. I did not apply any grain in post and the film was scanned at varying resolutions between 480 and 1080 over the years.
