Elements of Image Making: Alternative Optics, Processes & Techniques

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!!!!!!
