Better 8 Than Never ... Modern 8 that is

In 2009 I had the pleasure to work with a talented videography team ... Ted and Alanna Hinkle of Modern 8 Films. Their bread and butter is shooting in Super 8 mm format, giving their films a vintage feel. Think of your late-70s family video, sans sound.

We worked a handful of times together last year, but we closed the year out in grand style (literally ... the gig was on New Years Eve) with an exquisite wedding at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego.

A dance party on New Years Eve is already going to have an extra punch to it. But add the fact that there was a wedding going on and this party was rocking. Modern 8 did a great job capturing the opening introduction when Sarah and Jason walked into the Black Eyed Peas', "I Gotta Feeling." And the flashing lights, set up by Platinum Pro, turned this ordinary ballroom into one hot wedding nightclub.

This particular film was not shot in Super 8. But enjoy the crispness of HD and try not to groove to much when you watch it. (If it takes too long to load, you can push the button to turn of HD and it loads a little faster).
