There's just something about the look of actual film that I love!

I have attempted to emulate the feel of Super 8 with digital plug-ins, but nothing really comes close, has the authenticity, of actually shooting on film. And then projecting it, with the chatter of the projector in the room, and soundtracks that have a different synchronicity with the image with the ever-so-slightly different speed of each projection, just adds adds to the whole experince IMHO.

Following are some links to interesting things I have collected over the years.

Holly and Bryce in Super 8mm

Commercial

DOP, Editor

This is a film I shot and edited of my friends Holly and Bryce's wedding on Toronto Island. Digital is great, but there is nothing quite like shooting on film, especially Tri-X pushed a couple of stops!
