Motion Picture Film
Listed on this page are several projects I have shot on Super 8 and 16mm motion picture film.
Cost of shooting on film
Film is expensive, however I believe the look and feel of shooting on film is worth the effort. I own my own fleet of Super 8 and 16mm cameras and have achieved consistent results. I use Nanolab, Neglab and Memorylab for all colour/b&w developing and telecine. If you have a music video, wedding or unique project you would like shot on film, please get in touch to discuss feasibility.

Don't Stray
Worked with Adelaide band The Dainty Morsels to shoot a music video for their single Don't Stray. Trekked down to Cape Jervis and shot Super 8 footage of the band in the stormy winter weather. This music video combines Super 8 motion picture film with black and white stills filmed over a light table.
Shot on Super 8 film using Kodak VISION 3 #7219 rated at 500 ASA and Kodak Tri-X #7266 rated at 200 ASA. Additional stills shot on Ilford & Lomography film. Camera: Sankyo XL 40S. Developed and scanned in 4k by Nanolab.
RoadTripper
Turn on, tune in, shift down. Experience the desolation of hitchhiking around Australia in the mid '70s from the backseat of a '71 Rover 2000TC. RoadTripper is a short film inspired by Road Trip films of 70's New Hollywood cinema such as Two-Lane Blacktop, among other examples of the experimental genre 'slow cinema.'
I'm excited to reveal RoadTripper was shot and recorded entirely on analogue equipment on location. The project was shot on 150ft of colour Super 8 film and 100ft of colour 16mm film, with all location sound and foley recorded to compact cassette in a field tape recorder. The short was inspired by Monte Hellman's 1971 slow cinema film 'Two-Lane Blacktop' and shot in my own 1971 Rover 2000TC.
Shot on 16mm and Super 8 film using Kodak VISION 3 7203 rated at 50 ASA. Cameras: Cine Kodak Special II & Sankyo XL 40S. Developed by Nanolab & Neglab and scanned in 4k by Memorylab and Nanolab.
Ode to the Messenger Man
Ode To The Messenger Man is a reimagining of the infamous long lost interview with musician Billy Shears in 1969, in which he walked out on the interviewer. The interview, of which only audio, stills and fragments exist, captures Shears at the end of the Sixties, as the flower power movement and psychedelia transitioned to heavier music.
Shot on 16mm film using Kodak Tri-X 7266 rated at 200 ASA. Additional stills shot on Ilford film. Camera: Cine Kodak Special II. Developed by Nanolab, scanned in 4k by Memorylab.
Sunday
Shot on location around the timeless parts of the city of Adelaide, Sunday captures the nostalgic look and feel of Adelaide's Mod subculture of the late '60s.
Shot on Super 8 film using Kodak VISION 3 7203 rated at 50 ASA. Camera: Sankyo XL 40S. Developed and scanned in 4k by Nanolab.
