Editing Elements of Image Making

= Elements of Image Making: Alternative Optics, Processes & Techniques=

Elements of Image Making is a monthly analogue film meet up/hang out/nerd out/freak out. We meet on Sundays at Noisebridge. 

== UPCOMING SERIES==
NEXT WORKSHOP is June 2nd.  Somewhere between direct animation and handprocessing lies a zone of techniques for celluloid manipulation.
We will concentrate on reticulation, solarisation and other chemical manipulations of found and captured film!
Bring any film you got lying around.  We will tease and torture the emulsion with bleach, light and photochemistry.

We generally meet every three weeks.

*Positive Thinking
** 5/12 reversal developing & DIY dailies
*Got My Ion You 
** 6/2 Solarization & Reticulation
*Hand Made Emulsion 	
** 6/23 Cyanotype & Silver

== Sunday April 13th ==

4pm 

Building on what we've covered in previous weeks we will move past the negative and embrace the positive. We will discuss reversal processing and making positive prints.

We will trouble shoot some DIY contact printing and hopefully print the negatives from previous weeks.

==Sunday March 31st==

4pm 
*Learn to use a bolex film camera!
*Learn how to hand process film
*Learn how to use a 16mm projector

We will take a bolex to dolores park/wherever film some stuff and then come back to noise bridge and develop it.  If all goes well and the film is dry we will visit our neighbors, Artist Television Access, and project the film.


Hand Processing is back in 2013!!!!!!
