This project has introduced me to
alternative means of film production. Compared to digital, film is a more
hands-on experience. Scratching, bleaching, and painting have a more satisfying
feel than letting Photoshop do all the work for you. When watching the final
reels, the unintentional moments were my favorite. I feel as though I went a
little too heavy on the bleach at certain sections of our reel. The
brushstrokes and smears create imperfect but beautiful imagery. It’s subversive
and it’s interesting. Working in the blackbox was a new experience because I’ve
never developed film before. It was tough having only the red light to see the
rayograms. This project has reinforced my interest in working with film.
