The reason I chose to use older footage I found online for the home movies was because I wanted something reminiscent. I especially like super 8 film because it has a very warm feel to it which is what I wanted to get across, a sense of longing for 'simpler days'. The song choice was also to emphasize the feeling.
Here is a video of my mouse hack in action;

If I were to improve my mouse hack, I would obviously like to make the installation and mouse casing more attractive. I'd also like to have more negatives and have them control the video playing on the screen, so for example the video on the screen would correspond to the captured negative being held to the light and the default setting of the projection would be the blank reel. It would also be interesting to play with my own home videos and make the piece more personal...
