David Dutton

I recently hooked up with a Bay Area hip hop artist by the name of Enzyme Dynamite. He’s part of a 4 person crew called The Bayliens, but has recently ventured off into new territory with his solo debut, Stereo Vision. It’s quite different from his usual stuff because he’s primarily singing in the album, rather than rapping. A track from the album has already aired on LIVE 105, a San Francisco rock and alternative station.

We shot the footage for the music video over the past two weekends. The first weekend we shot using a Lumix still photography camera and a Kinoflex for Super 8. We printed 503 still photos from the shoot which I later shot again in order to create a stop-motion where the photos take on a life of their own. The Super 8 has a similar purpose.

The second weekend I shot with a Panasonic HVX200 with a 35mm REDROCK adapter. This will be used for the bulk of the music video. Its going to be hard to weave the 3 mediums together, but it’s a personl joy of mine to mix different methods of filmmaking together.

“A Beautiful Place” should be out in the beginning of August.

Kinoflex

My First Film Camera

This is the film camera I ultimately learned on. It shoots Super 8 cartridges and requires to be wound up every 30 seconds. I used it to make the short film Breathe and Market Lovin’. I also used it with other mediums besides Super 8. In Big Bang Love Bust it was used for the puppet show scene. In The Result of Edwin, it was used for Edwin’s flashbacks of Donna. In my upcoming music video, A Beautiful Place, it will be used in a scene where the artist imagines himself into a girl’s shoebox of memories.
