Can I ask a sort of annoying question? How many rolls did this take? I'm very interested in shooting 8mm but I don't know how some people do it with the 3 minute time limit on each roll.
@ErikHutt I believe it would be a separate mic since super 8 sound film is all but unavailable. I'd be curious what kind of audio recorder was used and if the camera was crystal sync or not.
@3baxcb Yeah, the camera is crystal sync (converted by Pro 8mm), but for the life of me I can't remember that recorder was used...none of the audio was usable anyway, because of all the generators we were running for lights. Pretty much everything was ADR'd.
@astronomicafilms So what other cameras does Pro 8mm convert to crystal sync motors? The usually say they only have knowledge about Canon 814 AZ, Canon 1014XLS and most of the Beaulieu but I'm curious if the Nizo, Elmo or other Minoltas can get converted as well. My sympathies that your lead actresses suddenly died. Would be nice to stay updated on whether you can finish up Scarecrow Man.
you rock,FILM FOREVER.The guys at PRO 8 really do a great job. How did you sync sound and What camera did you use?In case you are looking for a BEAULIEU 4008 I have 2 for sale,great short loved it.Lonzo Jones
@thelonz69 How much are you looking for a Beaulieu 4008? All I know that it's one of the top of the line Super 8 cameras and has some of the most options and best features.
@3baxcb Yeah, I have a lot more - but we hit a major snag when one of the main actresses (the dark-haired girl) died suddenly...none of her ADR was even started at the time, so the project is sitting there finished except for that. I keep telling myself I need to find someone else to dub her, and get this out there as a tribute to her, but my heart breaks every time I go back to this one.
@astronomicafilms I suppose you haven't done anything with the rest of the footage yet. This trailer still has potential to pitch it to someone who wants to produce a old-school 1970s-1980s style monster/slasher movie. Recently got one of the cameras that Pro8mm says they convert to Max 8 and have shot a test reel but am waiting to see the transfer. The reel was black and white, so if I'm lucky, I'll find out soon.
I think Phil may be looking to hook you up with an HD transfer. Don't think about it. Call him. This trailer is one I frequently go to and it would be out of this world in HD. I think Phil may feel the same way. Call.
The prototype should be ready for Halloween. I'm still tinkering with it, but as soon as it's done, I'll get in touch with you and send you a copy! Thanks for taking the time to check the trailer out.
great job guys

Hey this is so awesome! Is there any chance to see this movie in full lenght? Super 8 gives it that right 80's slasher feeling.

That's a very cool idea. Scarecrows rock. You should post some of your pics; I'd like to see them for sure.
