so far, i think cameraless fimmaking is awesome. i did some of the magazine transfers on saturday and i think that is one of the coolest things ive ever done. the way the images stay on the tape and some even stay clear is really interesting to me. ive never done anything like this and i dont think ive ever seen any films with this done either. i cant wait to see it through a projector. the scratching on the film strips is really neat to. i tried to draw flames wiggleing on several frames so it would look like real fire for about 3 seconds but im not so sure how real it will look haha my drawing skills arent that great. i think it will be cool either way though. staying with the earth air water themes, i drew rain drops also. it starts with one drop and you watch it start at the top of the frame then it will fall to the ground and then the rain picks up. there are a few seconds of heavy drops then it clears up agian and goes into the other elements, i havent finished that yet os im not sure how to do the earth. i think my partner courtney is going to draw a flower as it starts as a seed then blossoms. our idea is to have these elements starting from the "root" and build to full potential then fade back out. i think it will all look really cool once we finish and run it through the projector. another part of our film is finger nail polish, we took earthy colors of brown and light pinks and blotted them along the frames then covered it with a clear coat to smooth out the images. im really enjoying making fims this way...a lot mroe than i thought i would actually. its opened my eyes to new ways other than just shooting something and editing it. its cool how i can manipulate the images myself instead of through a computer
