KODAK SUPER 8 FILMMAKING CHALLENGE
A psychedelic technicolour exposé of the many adventures and interactions of a Speak & Spell machine (a 1980's Texas Instruments 'learn to spell' pre-ipad device) presenting the sunny St leonards-on-Sea, in the south coast of England, its businesses and its colourful residents to the world. It was shot in the style of the old adverts that would play in the cinemas before the feature film. This is the Directors' Cut version of the celebrated super 8 film "Speak & Spell in St Leonards" (see the original version on vimeo.com/78045472, which was premiered in June 2012 at the Cannes Lions screening of Straight 8). This version was ever-so-slightly edited digitally to get around some interesting sound-synching issues and a more comprehensive credits/special thanks section... The original 'uncut' version was shot using Kodak Vision3 200T, and as all straight 8 entries: one cartridge, in-camera editing, no post production. Filmed in collaboration with 'The Maestro' Darren Morris who also produced the original soundtrack.
