Experience with Bolex shoot

Shooting with 16 mm bolex camera was a very enlightening experience. I love the process of shooting and processing actual film as apposed to digital. I took a b&w darkroom photography course at a community college and I loved the hands on manipulation of the artistic outcome. This project was the film version of that. It was challenging to film under the limitations of having only 1 minute of film and having the film be 1 continuous long take. Our project idea involved filming in a swimming pool and using props in the pool. Our planning process took a long time but was very creatively fluid and fun.
