Fun with 16mm

So I was kindly granted access to the 16mm projector and some blue leader film to create some abstract, experimental 16mm footage for this new music video I'm helping out ABK (Antony) with. This stuff is just the coolest way of creating really beautiful, funky abstract footage in a quick way. We managed to get about 10 loops done in a single afternoon and these will be really useful when ABK is layering everything up for the abstract dance sections of the video. I love the really soft murky quality in the second video (this happened by using a non-permanent pen and smudging it onto the film with my finger).
