I bought my first Super 8 camera before Sasquatch Festival in May of this year. But the one I had actually didn't end up working, so I had to borrow a friend's Canon 310XL and brought 6 cartridges of Kodak Ektachrome 100D film.
Shooting this edit was super fun as it was my first time ever shooting on film. I tried to utilize the conventions of traditional Super 8 films (by that I mean a lot of old home movies) by doing snap zooms, run and gun shooting, and sometimes odd cuts. I wasn't always trying to create the best compositions or make perfect camera movements, I was just out to capture the experience of Sasquatch with my friends in the style that I always imagine when I think of Super 8.
The colors turned out exactly how I wanted them to; I wanted the image to look kinda shitty, and I think it does. I'm a little bummed that there was some sort of wire in the gate for a lot of the shots, but oh well.
Hope you guys like it! CC is welcome of course but I was more posting this for anybody who is interested in shooting on film.
