CAPTURING MOVING IMAGES ON HI-CON FILM IN CAMERA & DEVELOPING REVERSAL
LEARN TO CAPTURE ON HI-CONTRAST BLACK AND WHITE FILM STOCK, TO PROCESS REVERSAL + PRESENT YOUR FILM AT OUR SCREENING PARTY
In this workshop participants will be introduced to HI-CONTRAST optical film stock, Kodak's 3378E. We'll work as a group to capture images on a roll of this lab film to better understand its limitations and its possibilities as a camera stock. Curriculum will cover the basics of loading ESTAR film stocks, how to expose properly, how to cross-process the film, and preparation for projection. We'll use the H16 Bolex Reflex camera, and prime lenses to shoot, various lab equipment along with a LOMO developing tank and an EIKI SSL-O projector! We will go over key chemical reactions, how to mix our own B/W reversal chemistry. After an extensive test, we’ll collaborate on a film together. Additionally, each student will take home a 100’ roll of this stock to film and process at a later date! All chemicals and equipment will be provided. Films will be ready to screen at the end of the session. You'll finish with a well planned test that will allow you to film on your own roll with confidence. Finished projects will be presented after the conclusion of the course at our screening party at a venue TBA.
