A while back I was interviewed by Scott Sheppard of Inside Analog Photo Radio about the Super 8 format for weddings. In addition to being a really cool guy, Scott knows his stuff when it comes to photography and film. We spoke for about 45 min. over the phone about cinematography and super 8 film-making, needless to say I had a lot of fun nerding out over film.
Enjoy...

New super 8 iphone app
HFD App + iPhone = Super 8 joy
iPhone users rejoice - we have Super 8 convergence!
There's a fab little iPhone App available called the Hyper Focus Calculator that will calculate the acceptable focus distance for any aperture and focal length for a huge variety of cameras and formats.
The good news is that the HFD Calculator has just been updated to include 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm formats and is damn useful in the field to make sure that you're not going to be shooting soft. Simply dial in the aperture and focal length from your camera - the distance beyond which all objects can be brought into an "acceptable" focus is then displayed in feet, inches or that newfangled metric system. Genius!

The beauty of film
Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by the warmth and beauty of celluloid film. There is just something about super 8 film that does more than just document an event. It has the ability to capture not just what is seen, but what is felt. There is a beautiful and unique love story within every wedding, and that is what I seek to capture in my films.
