Experimental Film Presentations

The Experimental Film Project Illustration BA students at the University of Brighton.

  

Following on from the previous weeks workshops, the students used the film strips they had made to develop a wide variety of moving image outcomes. They worked either individually or in small groups to present the final pieces, all of which were excellent.

The students embraced the medium, materials and concept of the project, to create really dynamic and engaging work. They presented multi-screen performances, including 3D elements as well as sophisticated digital sequences. Some of the students constructed their own projectors and others made potential posters to publicise their film. 

                 

  

Experimental Films by Brighton Illustration Students

The Illustration BA students at the University of Brighton have been working directly with 16mm film in a two week project.
The aim is to experiment with analogue material and realise the potential it has for generating original moving image sequences, which can also act as source material for future digital work. This project gives the students the experience of a more 'hands-on' approach to direct animation, contact printing and working with optical sound tracks.

The project was developed by Louise Colbourne with assistance from Nick Collins and Jasper Goodall. 
The workshops took place in both the project room and darkroom at the university, which gave students the opportunity to develop image sequences from various sources. These include a wide range of objects, found footage, and transparencies. 
These are still images of some of the experimental film results so far...
