The Other Half was one of the straight8 films shown in Cannes in 2007.

For those wondering how we did it and to show that we stayed within the rules here is a little doc of how we did it.

Music by Natalie Holt. Thanks to Fiona, Laura, Jon, Lucy, Nat, James, Afo and Clive

First Half.

  • back in the 60s my dad shot a similar film where on one side of the spit screen he shot half of his head split vertically down the middle smoking a joint, then he rewinded the film and exposed the other side of the screen with his friend smoking meth, one side of the now completed head was moving slow while the other was bugging out.

  • thanks for sharing the insight

    interesting

  • INsane!!!

  • great work guys!!! nice film and techique. Please watch my straight8 film iris

  • Top marks to all involved! A bold and ingenious move which quite rightly paid off. Long live Straight8 and everyone involved with it!

  • Sounds great, but how did you rewind the cassette? I have several lap-dissolve cameras, plus a little dark-box gizmo which allows limited rewinding only. In both cases, the film is pushed back into the cartridge by a claw grabbing the sprocket perf's. The film then gathers up in a series of loose coils, limiting the back-wind to 60 or 70 frames. If you have discovered an effective way to crank an S8 film right back to the beginning, I'd love to hear about. Over to you, Burlearth...

  • impossible without reloading on super 8 surely?

  • Hardly original, used to do this with a half mask matte on the lens, then back wind the film, put the mask on the other side of the lens and expose the other half. Old trick done without the need for going round the houses and all that swapping of carts. Done even better with single 8 carts.

  • Fascinating stuff .....

  • stroke of genius sir!!!!
