In the 1970s my father left his camera on the train in Sydney Australia. He reported it to the police and gave them his address in New Zealand where he lived. It must have been six months later a package turned up at his house and it was his camera. These things do happen. 👍👍

Enjoyable, and filming it all in sequence is an interesting challenge.

[@paulinechatelan]

Thank you Bob, very glad you like it. It's a great creative exercise!

Loved this. Really neat idea and nicely shot.

[@paulinechatelan]

Thanks! I just shared a new one :)

[@dimitrisnikou]

That was really great. Romantic, beautiful story and nicely shot film - especially considering it was made without any editing. Well done, once again!

[@paulinechatelan]

Thanks! I made another, also no editing, called Your Life Flashes Before Your Eyes!

[@renemies78]

This was so cool. But it seems so complicated to get every shot on one Super 8 cartridge! Really cool.

[@gregrebuck3585]

I rarely comment on YT videos but this one was exceptional, especially for a medium as unforgiving as Super 8!

[@paulinechatelan]

Thank you!! That means the world 🥰 I have another called Your Life Flashes Before Your Eyes!

[@sebastiencayer2853]

@@paulinechatelan You have every rights to be. It's hard to believe you were not even selected with this.

[@tomd2021]

I like the film, but I find the sprocket hole and frame lines distracting ....

[@jonathanvu5370]

That's part of super 8..

[@paulinechatelan]

@@TSD-FILMS This is how the festival that hosts the competition scanned my roll. I have nothing to do with it . As presented, this film is unedited ;)
