THE INTERSPECIES BUDDY MOVIE OF THE YEAR

About 6 months ago I got myself a Canon 814, a Super 8 camera. I've only used it once (mainly because it costs about £30 for two and a half minutes at 24fps), I shot at the end of Summer and after I got the film processed and telecine'd I haven't really done much so I decided to edit it today.

The plot was improvised on the day. I only shot half of what I thought I did, I foolishly didn't time how long I was filming which meant I didn't know when the film ran out. The ending would be the Panda strangling the man in his car causing them to go off a cliff, however the film stopped before that meaning it's a beautiful buddy movie.

Panda!

lol this is fantastic. Great job.

Knowing about the ending that wasn't/couldn't be put in makes it even better.

Very nice film, and thanks for explaining the abrupt ending.

For a minute I thought you actually used effects on a regular camera through Sony Vegas or something like that.

Took me about 20 seconds to notice you actually used an 814. Brilliant job. :D

8mm ftw!

It costs money to buy film and have it developed and then telecine'd.

It's really difficult to get the 8mm effect through video editing. To be brutally honest, extremely difficult. Sure, some video editors may have a preset for it but it still won't look like real, natural 8mm film.

Oh, didn't know that. But it sure does give it a nice look.

I have one DV Video cam and a Canon 550D, I wanted the texture and the love of Super 8. this film would be dead if it wasn't for Super 8. Dead I tell you! So if you boys from marketing come down here one more time with a list of demands then I'll quit and if I quit then we lose out on the Japanese deal. Without that deal the company is bust and you know that so I think it's time that you gave my department a little more respect. I don't get the boss on your back so return the favour sometime?

Hoogle's kind of like Rodger from American dad. He builds his own characters sometimes for fun :o

I think that's Jim, his Brooklyn stock broker who's married to his psychologist.
