I never really realized how much I hated writing until I stared at this empty blogspace for twenty minutes. The scratch film junkies' film was pretty cool other than the fact that the soundtrack sounded like they recorded a fourth grade music class. I had seen a couple of Stan Brackhage's films before but they were the ones where he glued leaves and grass and dead bugs and crap to the film. I thought that was all he did so seeing the painting and scratching on the film was pretty cool. I blinked and missed a good portion of the film that was about three tenths of a second long, but the Dante one was really interesting with his portrayal of hell. I wish we could have seen how that one progressed.
The scratching on the film was fun. I wasn't too sure how much we would be able to see once it was projected. I was unsure of how hard to scratch. It would have been great to see more of it once we finished but the projector was hungry and ate our loop. At least it gave us a good idea of what we can do on film and what we can do in our first project. It was a good learning experience and a good way to experiment.
