Shot the final roll of 16mm film this week for this movie, and dropped it off at the lab today. I froze under the stars out at my cousin's place in rural Indiana, clicking away frame by frame, shooting time-lapse of starfields. By the end of one four hour session one night I turned my headlamp on to discover all my gear including my lens covered in frost. The next session a few nights later was not as frosty. I hope those shots turn out. Doing final color next week on the digital transfer at a post-house called Process Blue in Connecticut. There's a ways to go on the original score, but that's coming together nicely. And I'm looking into how to do an independent tour with a 16mm film print of the movie and a 16mm projector or two, mixing in our music and adding in some live narration too. That's the biggest goal. Stay tuned

S16mm Bolex film frames.  This session won't be in the movie, but I really dig a few shots from it.  I think they probably work better as still images than motion picture footage.  I love diving under beautiful reef waves and looking up at them as they pass overhead, feeling the force of them move through and seeing the sun shine through the moving water.  One of the most beautiful places to be on earth.

This past summer in Indo I was shooting with the local guys in Padma, and this tall young blonde haired guy comes out of the water with broken swim fins and his camera in a ziploc plastic bag type housing. He tells me he's been shooting with all the same local guys I was shooting with. I'm thinking, great, now every time I want to shoot with the crew, this guy with the tea time accent is going to be sticking his plastic bag into the shots, awesome.

Turns out Scott Goldsbury is a really great guy. He's from New Zealand. The local crew view him as family almost. And he can shoot some nice photos. I couldn't believe he took his most valuable possession out in a plastic bag at the break pictured above. Its pretty thick plastic to be fair. We ended up shooting quite a bit together with all the local guys and it was a lot of fun. Scott is now one of the contributing photographers for hangs upon nothing. Thanks for jumping on board Scott!
