Altru Health System’s Post

Earlier this summer, Dartmouth Health's in-house video team took on a project: capturing a unique patient-provider experience to promote Dartmouth Health's heart and vascular program. Our approach was a bit different: We chose to combine Super 8mm film with Canon’s C200 and C70 cameras and DZO lenses. There's a distinct charm to film, with its generous light exposure latitude, and a throwback to a time when instant playback wasn’t an option. Trusting instincts, equipment, and lighting became paramount. The anticipation of waiting for the 6k dailies was nerve-wracking given the expense of film stock and processing, but the results? Simply a joy. We integrated as much film footage as possible, occasionally emulating the Super 8 look digitally, but nothing compares to the genuine artifact. This project had several facets: it was an assignment, a venture into a bygone medium, and a learning experience. The challenges we faced, the decisions we made, and the story we brought forward gave us a lot to reflect upon. Our team's familiarity with the subject and the creative process underscored the importance of telling stories genuinely. To other organizations: Every story has its merits. It's worth exploring how best to tell them.
