Magazine Transfer Exercise



The above video is a compilation of all the magazine transfer segments we created during the second class period of 6X1.

For those of you who are visitors to the class blog, the process for the above film involved strips of 16mm clear leader film, magazines/newspapers and packaging tape. Students pressed bits of torn up newspaper and magazine to the tape, submerged the tape in warm to hot water for five or so minutes and then rubbed the paper off the tape so all that remained on the tape was the ink. The tape was then laid directly onto the clear leader until it dry and the adhesive bonded to the film.

All the segments of film were then spliced together, put on a reel, projected and transferred to video.
