Let me guess... extreme long exposure times and time lapse maybe?

Now if I left a mag with that cover on the train, somebody might pick it up!

Definitely! If the rights to the picture are obtained by the publisher than it would be a nice cover for a "smallformat"-flyer. No man can withstand two beautiful women and - on second view - a Super-8 camera!

Juergen -
Which issue is the filming weddings cover issue? I have not received that one yet. The last one I got is the ink jet cover issue.

Canadian John Porter wins over his audience at lightning speed when he takes a running projector in hand to shine an image around the theater. He showed his unusual films and technical tricks on a European tour that led him through Dresden. smallformat spoke with this Super 8 filmmaker, who is also a huge collector. Toys from cornflakes packages are his pride and joy. He introduces these playthings at breakneck pace in a film that leaves you wishing for more, while adroitly demonstrating what is possible.


Secret designs from the small-gauge film industry

Did you know that Bolex worked on a Single 8 camera? Or that Agfa planned a camera that could accept two cartridges at the same time? That Eumig developed a complete rewinding system for Super 8 cartridges? Or that Dedo denies wanting to build their own 16 mm cameras? Claus Krönke reports on cameras and projectors that made it no further than the Patent Office. This article finally appears in smallformat 5/2007.
