Project 1 Update

Gigi and I completed project 1 this week. It was a real learning experiance. Scratching 9 feet of film is time consuming, and when you are trying to convey an element with it its even harder. We decided to color the film ontop of the scratching so that the elements were more obvious. We also found that vegetable oil never dries. It took forever, but I think it'll look really cool when its projected. Our biggest issue was with the air element. How do you convey something that is invisible? Gigi had this silver powder that barely showed up on the film but was still there, it worked perfect and should look great when projected. We got a little crazy and combined our found footage and magazine transfer (which will hopefully not come back to haunt us). I had a great time working on the project and I hope the class enjoys it.
