We Stumbled on this music video shot by Joel Byron entirely on Kodak Tri-x using a Canon 1014XL.
The beauty isn’t just that’s it’s on super 8 but the fact that it was shot all on one real with no editing!
This is for straight8 which “invites anyone anywhere to make a short film on one cartridge of super 8 — without editing. The first time filmmakers see their film is at its premiere at a cinema!”
The band are clearly insane but in a good way. A very good way!
Helene “Eleni” Barrette has been traveling and living abroad for over 19 years and is originally from the Ottawa region in Canada.
I fell for her pinhole shots taken with a Pinholga and asked for a guest review. She said yes!
In her words:
“I’ve always been a fan of B&W. So much one can do with it, so many results
you can achieve. I like to be in control of the final result from the start.
B&W offers me that but color doesn’t.
“I’ve been using my PinHolga for a little over a year now. I’m far from being
an expert with it or in pinhole in general….but I love it. Since every
Holga is unique, I assume that every PinHolga has the same attribute.
“I’ve learned though that a pinhole camera is very wide angle so get really
close to your subject. When you think you are close enough, get closer!
Also, the most unusual the camera’s point-of-view, the more interesting the
photo. In my experience, what works best for me is 8 sec on a sunny day.
Then for other situation, I bracket, increasing by one f/stop at a time.
(8-16-32-64-128…)”
Favorite film? Kodak TRI-X girl, not others match it for me.
Top 3 cameras? Nikon FM2 (like to be in control!), Agfa Isolette (a 1940 something medium format camera.), PinHolga (obviously!)
Why analogue?
For me, I prefer the imperfections of films to the “perfection” of a digital
photograph. I dislike the artificial look of added textures and distress
look .
Ultimately, it’s a matter of choice. I much prefer to be in a traditional
darkroom than in front of a computer! Nothing like seeing a photo emerge in
the dev!
Analogue masters is a showcase corner on the web for all things analogue. Inspiration is from photography but we want to stretch the blog into the field of music and film-making while reviewing cameras, other analogue groups, photographic societies, shops, analogue thinkers and even camera repair people! We would love other people to contribute especially as we're based in London and don’t want the content to be too UK-driven. So if you have a shop, band, photographer or exhibition to showcase email us! All the best and we hope you enjoy!
