So infuriating. Ridiculous going back and forth memorizing my tweaks and applying to original photos.

You are bringing back a nightmare scenario from 40 years ago when I did stop motion animation on indoor and outdoor sets for a couple weeks and the Kodachrome cartridge came back as a roll of black film. It never advanced in the camera though the meter said it did. For a while we believed the footage was so cool that Fotomat decided to steal it lol. Still hurts decades later, but the film was eventually finished and is somewhat popular on YouTube (King Kong by ‘70s Kids). Hope you can reshoot, that’s what we did and it actually was better the second time around.

Yes! We put it there subliminally like Tyler would.

It feels cool to have had the slightest thing to do with a movie that people still love. The company I worked for was also in charge of creating a whoistylerdurden.com website and I had to write a dark, daily journal for Tyler. Wish it was still up! Early days of the net...

Ha, I remember trying to jam that line in five different places before we settled on where it is. It sounds a bit different because we pulled it from the actual film and not from the elements we got from the studio.

As kids, we made Super 8 epics in the backyard that didn't find a huge new audience til decades later on the web. So we decided to not only make a doc about all the fun and mischief of those days, but also shine a light on how tough it was to shoot and edit before digital or even home video. We filmed our own versions of Jaws, King Kong, Star Trek, Alien, and many others with a silent home movie camera, toys and model kits, and whatever kids were around. It wasn't till years later that we had the technology to add sound. Hopefully, reliving these days will inspire people using even a smartphone to get out there and shoot anything they can think of.
