I'm back (at least for this week)

Wow, they still make you learn how to develop film by hand? When I was in library classes and they made us learn how to make cards for card catalogs, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes because it's all on computers now. I guess I'm just lazy like that.

I love all the technical stuff in your post. I keep thinking that one day I'll write a movie script because when I write I see things from camera angles. I dig photography too.

It's good to have you here, even if it's ever so briefly! Good luck!

Sorry about the technical stuff, it is hard not to speak "filmspeak" or write it I guess . Oh and no we did not have to take the class, prossessing your own film is a thing that experimental filmmakers do a lot of and since I am getting into the avant-garde it was something I was really interested in taking. CalArts may be one of the only schools in the world that bothers to teach stuff this so I feel really lucky to learn it. It really makes the film very messy but it looks really great too. like an old movie! The films that are made this way are a form of movie art I guess you could say and you kind of have to look at them as abstract art. It is something that experimental filmmakers like Stan Brackage and Michael Snow did a lot of and in the more mainstream Andy Worhol. It is also used in some music videos like the one of the new Green Day videos used it. Also as a filmmaker it important for me to understand every step of the prossess so when I take my film to the lab I can let them know what I want done to it or what I don't want done to it from work print to answer print to release print!
