Shot on Super 8 | Thrash Bash 2020

If you are familiar with the drift scene, you will know the aesthetics of JDM(Japanese Domestic Market)culture that lives on in America in its drift communities across the nation. I started shooting around the Michigan drift community in 2018. These communities are overly welcoming and full of great people, talented drivers, and great media teams. I have been blessed to have made some great friendships in these communities. Among the media groups I found myself amongst a small clique of fellow film shooters. We always have a blast shooting some whacky film stocks and cameras. At this past event for Thrash Bash in New Philadelphia, Ohio I decided to take my “Hipster” to a whole new level. Being that we are in a pandemic currently and I didn’t know how many drift events we’d be able to have this year I decided to go all out on this one. Armed with my never before tested Canon 514XL-S, one 50 foot cartridge of Kodak 500T, and some overly funky Japanese music supplied by my friend Trey I present, “Shot on Super 8 | Thrash Bash”.

Shooting and editing this video was an absolute treat, There’s some magic in shooting something when you have no idea how it will turn out. In my opinion this turned out amazing I have already shot another drift event on super 8 film wit hthe help of my friend joey we shot a combined total of 200’ of film which translates to roughly 13 minutes of footage. I am very excited to be putting this next video together. You can see more of my blog posts here and you can see my work here.
