16mm Scrapbook
Posted in 16mm, Uncategorized on November 15th, 2006
This is the first of my 16mm Black and White experiments that I’ve managed to transfer to video without it getting chewed up.
It was shot with the Bolex and handprocessed in some buckets in the basement.
Then I went overboard with the tints and tones and paints, to figure out how they all interact. Ended up with a few nice textures and some unexpected effects. fun.
It’s silent, and about a minute-and-a-half long, projected and filmed off the screen. You’ll Need Quicktime 7 to watch it.
I just finished mangling a couple old 16mm nature films with industrial strength draincleaner and bleach. It ate away most of the emulsion, so I sliced and diced what was left, and went to work with some india inks and paint. Finally, I transferred it to digital format.
