OZ camera of choice

Many of the filmmakers here partcipating in Shoot the Fringe have some stellar cameras such as the Canon 814e.

A Rollei, a really awesome Agfa (with the biggest viewing screen I've seen), several Bauer's and a heavy-as-lead Chinon were some of the stand-outs. The South-Australian's obviously took their super 8 filmmaking seriously as these were all very expensive cameras back in the day. And now, 45 filmmakers are putting them to the test, shooting their 50 foot masterpieces this week...

Don Knotts was a king. We are truly lucky that his unparalleled comic genius is preserved and available to watch and enjoy any time.

Still a bit jet lagged, i'm finding my way here in Adelaide at the Fringe Festival.


I led my first workshop. 45 filmmakers participated = 40 of them had their own camera! They have one week to make their super 8 film...
