This is beautiful.
“Instead of using a traditional gimbaled platform, I chose an FPV drone to capture Super 8 footage from an entirely unique perspective,” the New South Wales, Australia-based photographer tells. “The combination of modern dynamic FPV-style movements and proximity flying with the vintage Super 8 aesthetic creates an almost surreal result, as if providing a glimpse into an alternate timeline where digital cameras were never invented.
“To make it work, I chose the Agfa Microflex 100 Super 8 camera as it is one of the smallest and lightest ever manufactured, weighing approximately 500g. However, this still posed a significant payload for a 7-inch quadcopter, requiring me to employ smaller batteries and accept shorter flight times.”
“Considering the necessity of a wide field of view for comfortable FPV footage, I attached a cheap fisheye adapter to the Microflex’s lens,” De Freitas continues. “While this compromised image quality, it proved crucial for capturing dynamic shots, aligning with the project’s focus on a unique aesthetic rather than pristine visuals.”
“Projection is a huge part of why I like to use film, and being able to experience the entire analog process for this project just made the resulting perspective feel even more surreal. I developed the film myself, which is why the results are fairly scratched and dirty. The film was then scanned by Rewind Photo Lab in Sydney so that I could share the experience online.”
