on film: when the wind blows

Tamara Muth-King is probably one of my all-time favorite photographers. Her work is not only beautiful, but emotive. As both a fan of her work and a lover of Super 8, I couldn't resist posting this clip. It takes me to another world.

on film: coco rosie

Enjoy this short Super 8 clip of Coco Rosie singing "Not for Sale Anymore."

the tales of beatrix potter

Every year around Christmas, I watch The Tales of Beatrix Potter with my niece. It's a ballet film from 1971 with dancers from The Royal Ballet in London and it's absolutely adorable. Here's a portion of it from You Tube. If you have kids, I totally recommend it!

emma

 

Someone from the UK kindly uploaded the new BBC version of Emma to You Tube and I've been watching it for the past few days. I am not sure if it will replace Gwynnie's version for me, but it is well done and follows the book quite closely. Also, I will pretty much watch anything starring Jonny Lee Miller.

bright star

  

Was just chatting with my older sister, Rebekah and she told me about this beautiful film called Bright Star. It's about John Keats and I can't wait to see it! Doesn't it look dreamy?

inspired by films

For the past year or so, I've been super inspired by film. Not necessarily full-length movies, but short little homemade or fashion films. It's kind of weird but I love going online and looking at vintage super 8 films that people post of their relatives.  I've collected all my little movie posts in a new category called, "On Film". Not sure I caught them all but I want to start posting more, hopefully on Sundays. I am not very good at scheduling inspiration so we'll see.

spell: a short film

Check out this gorgeous short film by Lula Magazine. It's a little bit dreamy and a little bit creepy. The styling is so pretty. I'd love to set up a flower bedecked swing for my next birthday party!

Thanks, Ginny Branch Stelling! Read her dreamy blog, if you don't already!

over the hill

This video from the charming British band, Alessi's Ark is super duper clever and has adorable styling.

john anderson beavers

John Anderson Beavers loves to take photos + Super 8 movies of his wife and daughter, often in Maine. It's all really sweet and the photography is gorgeous. Check out his photo stream and videos. 

P.S. I just bought a Super 8 camera and am learning how to use it today! If any of you have tips or sources for photo processing + transferring, I'd love to hear them.

time for spring

J.Crew's fresh, preppy style makes me excited for springtime! I can't tell if this old video is officially done by J.Crew but it's set to music by my favorites, Let's Go Sailing and I love it.
