idea

Using photographic stills and hand made negatives I will create a handmade film.
Handmade
|ˈhan(d)ˈmād|
made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality : his expensive handmade shoes.


I began experimenting with stills a long time ago when I studied photography. Most of my experimentation was in the dark room, however I did begin to cut up my negatives, rearrange and recompose them. This was done rather crudely but a nugget of an idea formed; an idea I am now revisiting.




I have studied animation and film. The coupling of these techniques has led me to this idea - Contiguoustills:
|kənˈtigyoōəs-stil|

still image sharing a common border; touching : a reel of film negative.
• photographic stills next to or together in sequence : five hundred contiguous images.
