This is the kit I’m currently carrying with me in Haiti.
I’m here as one of a three people team from the Cube Cinema
forming the current field team for HKKP.
I’m planning on using the free time I have here to document what I can about
the people and places we see, a people struggling to rebuild their lives after
2009s devastating Earthquake.
The kit consists of:
A Nizo Super 8mm, 3 rolls of Ektachrome, 2 rolls of Tri-X, an Olympus PEN 35mm half frame, 2 rolls of Fuji Neopan 100, 2 rolls of Kodak Ektar 100, an Olympus MD90 sound recorder, a lunasix light meter, a Bolex RX4, filters, 3 rolls of 7222 (Double-X).
Alltogether its quite heavy.
The plan for the PEN is to shoot turned, thus giving me an approximate landscape 35mm picture as the PEN is a half frame and affords twice as many shots per roll. These frames will then hopefully be able to be refilmed in the printer the same as rolls of 35mm motion stock.
The sound recorder means recording mediums separately and this effectively frees each medium from the other.
