Life Looks Better on Super 8



Does life really look better in a movie shot on Super 8 film? I appears to. Maybe that's because it has an old, nostalgic look since Super 8 film ruled for several decades starting in 1965. I think it's more likely because when you shot motion pictures -or even still pictures- on film instead of a digital format, you only shot the good parts. It was way too expensive to film anything or everything like we can today. This short film is brought to you by the Royal Ocean Film Society.  (via Digg)

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah

When she's riding in the car with her arm and head and even part of her torso out the window, not even looking forward all the time to see if a mailbox or a tree or kid on a bike is ahead, I can't stand it. That's how kids get killed. Make her stop.
