Nostalgia Part 1: Super 8

I sorted through and converted about 80GBs worth of super 8 film over the past week or two. I set up my t3i behind the projector and just shot the image from across the room, not as much flickering as I expected. It took over 3 days to shoot it all and almost a week to organize everything and edit. This is a combination of all my favorite footage shot by my grandparents in the late 60s/early 70s.

By far the most personally rewarding work I've done in a long time.

I also have thousands of 35mm slides I'm in the process of converting, so expect that stuff soon.

Fall Wedding in Chicago

Wedding I shot in late September. One of my favorite shoot so far, really really fun. BEAUTIFUL locations. Kristen and Mike are native chicagoans so they knew all the best spots.

Skateboard Coffee Table

Final project for my furniture construction class. Frame is made out of oak, held together with mostly dowel joints. Super stoked on it.

Directing "Worm Farm"

Final project for my directing the narrative scene class at OU. Also the first time I've ever really directed actors before. I basically did all the pre-production, art direction/prop hunting (NOBODY sells live worms in November) , and costume. Really fun, happy with how everything turned out.

A couple BTS pictures:

Skate Break.

Haven't made any skateboarding edits in a while, forgot how much fun it is. Below is a two part series Jeb and I shot this fall. Super fun, good times.

Pawpaw Fest

Small audio/visual piece I did on the 14th annual Pawpaw Festival in Albany, Ohio. Audio recorded with a Zoom H1 and photos shot with a Canon t3i. First time trying Pawpaw beer. Delicious.

New space, same place

Starting my third and final year at OU. Weirdness. Here are some pictures I took along the Athens/Nelsonville bike trail.

James and Jessica (Geneva on the Lake, OH)

Shot a wedding in Geneva, Ohio a couple weeks ago. Awesome location, awesome people, fun shoot.

Zoom H1

Zoom H1 Test from Chris Faust on Vimeo.

I've been testing out Zoom's H1 Handy recorder this past week or two and I'm really impressed. Best audio for your buck. I highly recommend getting one if you're a DSLR shooter like myself. I also ordered a Sescom line to mic cable to record straight into the camera, no need to sync up audio in post. Links to these items below:
