"Disciples of the Gun" by 8th Day Labour - Reviewed on June 30th, 2006

For reference, we had a bit of a problem getting the proper tape/camera conneciton. The footage was recorded some two or three weeks ago on a Hi-8 camera using LP. Our cameraman went on vaction shortly after, and so we lost access to the original camera. We tried desperately to find another camera with both Hi-8 and LP settings. I have a Hi-8 viewcam from some off brand that strangely enough doesn't have SP/LP settings but trying to use the wrong framerate completely didn't work. The actual footage is captured using an 8mm camera that somehow worked. The audio came out fine, but I was lucky to capture at a point where the color worked. We know what the problem is, and it shouldn't happen again.

As for the whole thing seeming like half an idea, the original script is available here: www.xanga.com/Eighth_Day_Labour but due to some directing issues we didn't get all the raw footage we needed as we needed it, so certain parts had to be cut.

Wow, I'm hoping nobody reads the comments before watching the film. I feel like my own criticism could easily ruin someone's first impression.
