Super 8mm NYC

Finally had a chance to pick up the Super 8mm footage from Paul Becker. Paul got the Super 8 film developed and transferred onto a miniDV tape. Not sure how much he paid exactly, but from what I understand it was reasonable. In any case, I shot this with Sergei Krasikau on a Canon Super 8mm film camera back in January in New York City when I was with Paul Becker shooting Ben Vereen's forthcoming documentary. Serg and I got some great stuff at Coney Island, but it was bitter cold and Sergei locked his keys in the car while it was running so we had to wait for AAA. AAA guy thought this was hilarious as it was the coldest day of the winter. Good times... Warriors, Come out and play! [vimeo id="11671551" width="560" height="340"]
