Recording 35mm film in Kent

 
Today I am taking my film to Kent to film the projection onto the screen.

Things to remember:

DV tape
Video Camera
Film!
Money to pay Tom
Tripod

Fast shutter speed
Manual exposure
Manual focus


I was quite nervous about how successful my film would be, it has taken many many hours of work to get the glue prints done and onto the film and the 16mm film tests were only partially successful.  I did have 16mm clear film as a backup plan but they just didn't appear very clear (They were fairly out of focus) and it would've taken much much longer to produce the film and I would've had to not do a full body film (defeating the point of the film!)  When initially testing the 35mm film on the camera it was completely out of focus and blurry.  I did panic at this point and I was trying to think around time scales in my head as to how I would get the 16mm film done in time.  Then Tom put through a different film where he could focus it, and then when putting my film back through, it looked great!

HUZZAH!

35mm skin film is now finished and filmed and just needs testing through the projector and looking at on computer.  Possibly slowing down slightly.

My body is about 2 mins and 30 seconds long!
