Back in the late 90’s, my AD partner Dan and I created a series of weird little spec films for the Sci-Fi Channel with my Canon 310XL Super 8 movie camera.
The series explored the ostensibly innocent, yet occasionally creepy nature of everyday suburbia...where things aren’t always what they seem when viewed through a sci-fi lens.
The Channel bought the idea and renowned feature director David Lynch later re-shot them for us on 35 mm. But even David himself acknowledged at the time that, in terms of creep factor, it’s hard to beat the unsettlingly murky, oddly voyeuristic nature of Super 8.
Here are both versions of one of those films: My Super 8, followed by Lynch's far slicker re-do.
