a painter I met at
BERLIN'S HALENSEE
in the summer of
1970
brought along
- a small and easy to use -
EUMIG super8 cam
when we visited my then best friend
Peter K. in Denmark.
I shot my
first Super8 film
during that trip
- and -
I fell in love
with that media
and
Angelik
of course.
In summer of
1971
when Peter B. (aka PMB)
was about to marry Christiane
he asked me
to do some Super8 rolls on his wedding.
what I loved to do with that
BAUER super8 cam
his daddy had bought him.
I borrowed that cam as often as possible
to do some adventurous and delicate films
starring Angelik.
Eventually, in
1973
I was able to buy my own
BEAULIEU 4008s
(Schneider Kreuznach 1,8/8-40mm lens).
- that's when a
Super8 surge
swept over fabrikneu
where Angelik and I lived and worked now
after her return from London's
Slade School of Fine Arts...
... and in April 1975 the marvellous
BEAULIEU 5008S
(Angenieux 1,8/6-66mm lens)
brought live sound to the films.
Well, to round things up,
in the late 70s
Fuji started to produce lovely
lightweight and handy
Single8 sound film cameras:
easy to carry
easy to use
more fun!
Eventually, we shot all "quickies"
with that fine all time ready
P300
until the early 80s.
