I am a self-made cineast. I started doing silent animation regent-8 mm films with my father's mechanical camera in the mid-60s. Nowadays, I shoot short HD films and publishes them on YouTube. See my Filmography and Awards on FilmFreeWay.
I got my first Beaulieu Super 8 camera from my father when I was 18 or so. I made a few pixillation films then. I made timelapse and some animation films as well. Then I bought an old Paillard Bolex 16 mm. I did not use it for long, then... video cams came.
I nowadays use an old Panasonic AF100. I like to use green screens. Some of the films below do use them quite a lot. Lovely illusion!
