I went to Austin last week to shoot a music video for Watch Out For Rockets and so I could see my love and Mr. Feeny. It was a successful mission.
And here it is:
It was shot on 8mm Tri-X film with a Canon 514XL-S I found on Craigslist. The Bolex 8mm I already had pooped out after a few seconds of filming with real film, and even after I thought it was working, all the film from it was blank, so I’m glad I made the purchase and put my faith in the Film Gods to secure filmic posterity with the new camera. And I actually really love the camera. It has a nice weight, feel, and it’s super straight-forward to focus. I sort of wish the Exposure Lock, actually, you know, locked… you have to manually hold it. Oh well!
It took Dave hours to shave his legs:
In other news, I’m a production intern on a new show starring Jon Benjamin for Comedy Central with Abso Lutely Productions (Tim & Eric’s company), I just started Level II at UCB, and I have a new web series that’s going to start on Monday. We’ve shot four episodes and depending on how these are received there’s room for more down the road.
