my thoughts on film manipulation

hey boys and girls,
well, over all the film manipulation project was a good experience. It didn't quite turned out like i expected it to, but it was still a neat and memorable experience. After seeing the other films during class it hit me how creative and limitless the outcome of these experimental films can be. The ones i like the most were the films that were the most colorful and outlandish. i based my film strip with the idea of creative control, what i mean by this is creative ideas where i controled the out come of the final product. However after seeing all the films the more abstract looking the beter. There was probaly 30 frames the i scratched words and designs into i then added paint over top of, but after whatching the film i never really saw any of the designs that i had scratched show up like i expected them to. But i feel like the finished result did have a lot of interesting "elements" in it and for my first time ever using some of these film manipulation techniques i just remember thinking "not bad".

peace

Glad to read you had a good time with the film manipulation. It never does really turn out the way you expect it to. All part of the fun. How many movies can you make that you finish, screen and then ask yourself "did I do that," because you too are seeing the movie for the first time?
