Cameraless Filmmaking...So far...

I must say, I have been having a blast working on all of our projects thus far. Simply being introduced to these new methods and styles has been quite evocative and exhilerating. The Pez animations were so creative using everyday objects, such as the pizza ala Pac-man, that it really inspired me to think outside of the box as much as possible for these upcoming projects. I'm hoping my partners and I can come up with something equally as unique for our stop-motion animation projects.
Coloring on the film stocks was also pretty interesting. I believe myself to be a painter at heart and being able to work with inks and color in an entirely new fashion was a lot of fun. The scratch and tear methods are also quite fun, I'm excited to see what our final products will end up producing when run through the projector. It's crazy to think that we create our pieces, attempting to manipulate the filmstrips with something in mind...but then have something much more unique and special sort of result from the unexpected tampering and blowing up of the images. I can truly say I'm excited to see where we go from here.
