Weeks 9&10: One-Shot Bolextravaganzahhh!

What a way to finish our stint with film (now, the 6X1 class moves videoward)! Today, the 6X1 class produced 4 one-minute films shot on 16mm, then processed and finally transferred to video - all within 4 hours. Though the class was divided into groups of 3 and 4, the groups intermingled and created tiny films on a grand scale. Blue-afro space cats, sombrero decked guitaristas, brainy monsters and others coexisted in surreal harmony.

The weather was great - a little warm for October - but sunny, really sunny - so sunny that we had to ditch our original darkroom because despite great efforts to black out the windows, sun insisted on peaking through. So we developed film in the guys' bathroom with a couple of tubs of chemicals and a red flashlight.
