Direct Film Manipulation

I find this sort of hands on artistic manipulation of film very refreshing. The creative possibilities seem endless. I have no idea of what direction I am taking this but it does bring out the artist in me. Exploring film making in this fashion help losens the preconceived notion of what film should be. Looking at the film strip itself as a canvas, one can achieve a more organic and self aware art form. Thinking of color and how it creates its own resonance, you can juxtaposes images color and shapes to evoke a mood or inner experience much like a painting.
