Andy and Jess Super 8 Wedding Film - Falmouth, Cornwall (02/07/10)
This video was my wedding present for my good friends Andy and Jess.
This good old Cornish wedding was a proper knee’s up. It was Shot at the very unique Crasken Eco Farm, Helston, Cornwall (craskenfarm.com).
With an outdoor ceremony, guests sat on hay bales for a sing along. Guests provided an array of food that overflowed a 20ft plus table with plenty of Cornish booze it really was a lovely day.
The film was captured on a Nizo 801 super 8 cine camera. It was shot to edit with a belly full of Cornish Ale and two & a half reels (125ft) of film; one and half reels of Kodak Tri-x, and one Kodak Ektachrome 64t.
Telecine was done at Bluecinetech.co.uk
I then added the digitized footage to Final Cut pro and done some minor tweaking. Removing a few of my more drunk shots and shifting a few clips to fit the music, although luckily a lot was actually in time.

Super 8 Wedding Video. Cornwall, UK. DIY Scan.
This wedding present was made back in 2010. Digital technology was pretty poor compared to todays technologies. The SD interlaced scan was pretty horrid. I now have a DIY built 4k frame by frame scanner. Although it is still under constant development it is much better quality.
