Super 8 Film - Demo

Super 8 Film - Northernlight Filmworks Demo from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

This short film is a demo of some of our Super 8 that we shot in 2008 from weddings in Chicago, IL , Indianapolis, IN and French Lick, IN.

As a child, I remember my uncle Ronnie always with camera in hand shooting Super 8. There is something about film that creates a warm vibe with me. I love the organic look of film and how it makes a contemporary wedding look vintage. It's not a look for everyone and our clients either like it or they don't. We typically know right away if is something that they fall in love with. I recently met with a client and we sat in our studio and she loved the look of Super 8. I am always a bit curious as to what it is they like. So I asked her. She really could not put her finger on what it was she liked most but, words like "warm", "authentic" and "intimate" were a few of the descriptors.

We purchase all of our film stock from a company in California, who maintains the film in a controlled environment. The film is fresh film stock, which is very important. After we shoot the film we send it to the same company for processing. I will give them instructions on how to process the film and to run a second pass on any special effects that I may want to use. You will see some special effects in the demo.

If you have any questions about Super 8, give us a call or e-mail us.

Style Me Pretty

Several weeks ago we received a call from Style me Pretty, which we were familiar with and am a frequent visitor to their site. They apparently had been visiting our site as well and called to tell us how much they liked our work and wanted us to be one of their preferred vendors. As a business we get many companies wanting us to advertise with them and some are better than others. Style me Pretty, however, got our attention because we loved the content on their site first and foremost. As we talked, they explained that we would need to submit a full wedding film to further evaluate our work. As we talked a bit more, they discussed with us how they only want the best of the best.

We submitted some samples of our work, some recent work and some older work. We received a call yesterday informing us that they were very impressed with the work we do and we were formally invited to be a part of the section of their site called "Little Black Book". We will be listed under Cinematography and the Indiana section will be launched July 31st, 2008. We are familiar with some of our collegues nationwide and can tell you, they are some of the very best in the world.

We are thrilled to be a part of Style Me Pretty. Spend some time and check out the site, there is some really cool and chic stuff there.
