I'm in Love With my Car

Video Title :	I'm in Love With my Car
Description :	This movie video was a high school film project by a talented young man, Andy Presser, in the late 1970's. He had ambitions in the fields of music and film, and many of his ideas were later realized by others. This was filmed on Super-8 sound, and then transferred to video in the early 1980's. There is obviously some degradation from the process, and time. I transferred this to digital for upload, using a JVC Everio's input. If you note some similarity to the (2004?) Jaguar commercial using the same music, I do, too. Although certainly a coincidence, I will note that this video was used for a year or more in the late 1980's as a demo in a Mount Kisco, NY camera store... and shown to hundreds of customers. Many of these customers worked in film and advertising. If anyone has the Jaguar commercial, could you post it as a video response? Thanks...

its amazing, absolutely :) by the way, here is the jaguar commercial: watch?v=lCGl2M2kIN4 :)

Thanks so much for the comment, and the link. I've posted this one to the original commercial, as a video response.

This is very good. The super 8 is what makes it especially enjoyable, don't clean it up too much, crunchy and grainy, for real, tends to give a nicer feel than strict digital - even the digital that's "made" to look grainy - you can always tell. The editing is good, too. Interesting about the Jag commercial.

Thanks, Kitten! And for noticing the editing, which I was responsible for. It was an "all nighter" in front of a super-8 editor, surrounded by labeled envelopes with dozens of little clips. I would add one, play the film to the music, trim to get it to match better, add again, play again. Funny thing though... I never hated the song, despite the many repetitions! Or I don't remember that part, anyway. I always loved editing...

THAT IS GREAT!!!!!!

Well thanks for the nice comment. Sorry it's so dark, but with the right monitor settings and light, you can really get the feel. I might have a chance to recopy this from the original film at some point, and lay down the music track again... then it will be seen properly.
