Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS SUPER8EXPERIMENT

Our video looked tops when it was screened at the CFI Sunday night at the Birmingham Hotel in Fitzroy. I felt we have really been able to join forces and create a great artwork with many different views and styles - and it flows so nicely!

I hope we can continue creating collaborations like this and keep this group going. I know it can be difficult for some but I have gained a lot out of this, not only having to work with other artists but the whole idea of working with a new medium which I had completely no idea about how it would turn out - if at all it would. Our "stuff ups" or "unexpected results" have been great learning curves and have been great technically and artistically in our creation.

I was hoping that I could grab a copy of the video - I have a hard drive and/or I am happy to bring along a DVD. Also Eli am I able to grab a copy of my original file?

Nice one! Lets keep this going - and maybe have a catch up session and discuss the future of our Experiment??! :)

Happy Filming

Super 8 meeting this Friday.

Hi everyone

Just a short message to say that we will be meeting at Federation Hall at 9.30am-ish next Friday. David Shea will talk a bit about what's happening on the Sunday and then we will all head to Photography to put all our films together.

I think the general consensus is that we will go digital, editing them together in Final Cut Pro and borrowing a digital projector from photography. This will allow us to just put it on loop all night and not have to worry about it too much (plus my super 8 projector is a bit broken and we've had a bit of drama using other ones!)

So if you already have your film transferred to DVD, great, if not and you need to film it digitally on the Friday, let me know and I can try and bring in my projector (but it will be a lot easier to just have it transferred).

For those organising processing today, the details of what to do are at:

I think that's all for now. See you all next week!

Film Processing

Hey all,

Hope everyone has film now! If anyone needs to get theirs processed, a couple of us are going to send our away... Its about $60 for processing, so if you wanted to join in and thus make it cheeper, please do so!

We will put them all together during CFI on friday... So bring your film to CFI & join us! Should be able to find me or Renuka near the door...

:) - Eli

film sending

hey, just wondering if there is anyone out there that needs film processed?? i need to get mine done, and i am not sure if it worked as i did it at night, but yes...anyways i will deal with that when the time comes...umm so yes. can someone please contact me asap please :)

Super 8 where to?

Hi everyone

I trust that everyone had a good break, or that in the very least it was better than mine! Unfortunately I just worked the whole time... so am very happy to be back at school, although I feel a bit shell-shocked at how fast our final semester is going past...

So I thought being the start of the 3rd week of semester (!) I would see how everyone is going with:

a) their filming
b) their processing
c) their plans...

As for plans, I wondered who would be interested in continuing with this project in semester two in order to show our film/s at the "Collaboration Festival Event" that David Shea was talking about for Sunday 29th August? If people are, this is only three weeks away, so we should meet up to do some planning/watching of films soon. Heidi has kindly offered that we could use her house as a central meeting point, or alternatively we could use one of the rooms in photography if it is during school hours.

Given how busy everyone is, it could be difficult to find times that suit everyone... but remember we have the CFI class reserved on Friday 27th to do a bit of last-minute planning. And also on that note, our lovely percussionists have let me know that they won't be available on the 29th, so will have to find something/somebody else to do music/percussion/sound if wanted.

Anyway, I thought I'd just get in touch with everyone to see how people are going... Maybe so that it's easier to keep track of everyone's responses, it would be best to comment on the blog...

Cheers

Cath.

Lomo Tank Processing Workshop

Here is another invite from Richard at NanoLab. Sounds really good, but unfortunately I'll be away this weekend:

Hello Artist Film Workshopers,
just a quick note to let you know about the Lomo Tank processing workshop
being held on the 31st of July (Saturday). Please take a look at the
following link to find out more:
http://artistfilmworkshop.org/workshops.html
The workshop will cost $20. Tanks (freshly imported from the Ukraine for
the occasion) will be available for sale for $200. We will be learning
all there is to know about black and white reversal processing in the
Lomo.
Please email if to show your interest and to ask questions about the
workshop.
all the best
AFW

Also when I mentioned to him that a few us were thinking of making a day trip up to Daylesford he writes:

If there was a group of you wanting to come up to Daylesford, we could run
a workshop that interests you. Have a think if that idea is worth
pursuing. My idea is to help give artists the capacity to do things for
themselves with cine film.

This sounds great, the only trouble is finding the time!!
