Experiences with the Cameraless Filmmaking

The direct film manipulation project was a really fun and interesting project to work on. It has definitely been one of favorite projects we have worked on so far. By directly manipulating and designing the actual film, we are breaking down a wall between the act of film making and the audience. Having studied Stan Brakhage in my FST 205 class and enjoying his work, it was exciting to try use some similar techniques that he has used in his work. This is something that I am interested in pursuing as a hobby in the future. It was cool to experiment with different mediums like bleach and alcohol inks to see how the outcome would look. I experimented with putting salt in with the inks to give it an interesting texture.
