so far

I think my favorite form of cameraless filmmaking has been the magazine transfers.  Even though i couldn't really spot mine out of the reel i just like the way that the pixelations look projected and I think i have a better idea on how to make a more prominent pattern that is more distinguishable.  It was also super easy which i like too, i know that me and joselyn are going to use that technique in our elements projects somewhere.  I really like doing the rayograms, they were really unique and just interesting, and helpful in understanding the process of developing film but the only thing that i didn't really like about it was that i had no idea what i was doing! haha i didnt' know at all what it was going to look like after the process and i was kind of bummed that some of the objects that i brought didn't make as cool of patterns as i thought they would.  I suppose i just need more practice like anything else, but i'm not sure how i feel about messing with those chemicals on my own...a little sketchy.  I've decided after taking this class that it is imperative for me to invest in a projector, i mean it would be so awesome to keep messing with film and then being able to project it and notice what exactly i've done and what i need to do, i guess i'll be looking on ebay for one soon. I liked painting on the film with the oil it created great speccales that i loved and in the other application it created great flowing mixs of the colors and was just beautiful, i really loved it! Joselyn had some india ink that we got into a little bit but i wasn't able to see exactly what it looked like because it hadn't dried in class yet, i think that it will look great though with our fire section of the elements project, hopefully it will look like ash or soemthing. The bleaching was pretty awesome too, she put it on print stock that we had and it really just wiped it out and then it looked like she painted green and yellow on it, but that could just be the way that it turns out...super sweet.  I'm pretty stoked about the stop animation and workign with the super 8 bc that will be another new experience for me and i think it will be a lot of fun. We are going to try the blind folded process around campus too and that should be pretty interesting...we'll see.
