stuffed shells

Starting off the semester with two experimental film classes isn't too bad. I have wanted to work with film since I started film school. Luckily, I made it through the dreaded first week of school, and I am excited about starting assignment #1: film manipulation. After watching experimental films, I have been curious about how to manipulate my own films. I just never knew how or never had access to film until now. Before I became a film studies major, I studied black/white photography. Something about a dark room that soothes me. It is almost like a therapy in itself. Even the feeling you get from the chemicals when you have stayed in there way too long and you finally see the light of day is pretty cool as well. During my days in the darkroom, sometimes I would take whatever I could find and scratch words or other things on the film negative. I suppose this is where I started to become curious about film manipulation. The possibilities are endless when it comes to film.
